A Houston 1938 article links adolescent diet to later dental health and maternal tooth loss. It urges mothers to supervise teens' brushing with two brushes daily and to choose dentifrices that preserve tooth luster. Proper diet and care, the piece notes, improve future health and appearance.
Adolescence is a difficult period and a balanced diet is crucial. Poor nutrition during rapid development can weaken the nervous system, hinder physical growth, lower vitality, and reduce infection resistance. Such neglect may lead to dental disease and other infections, and the consequences may only appear when the girl becomes an expectant mother.
If a pregnant woman's diet lacks calcium her pelvic bones may develop imperfectly and cause unnecessary pain during birth. Inadequate calcium stores can force the mother to sacrifice her own body to support the developing child as calcium is withdrawn from bones and teeth to meet fetal needs.
The article explains prenatal tooth development and the need for calcium rich diets for babies and adolescents. It emphasizes calcium from milk and cheese, green vegetables, eggs and fruits, plus fiber, vitamins A C and D for healthy teeth. Proper dental hygiene and nutrition aim to prepare youth for parenthood.
Leading nutrition authorities warn the average American diet is deficient in calcium, especially among adolescents. Boys crave energy foods while girls are picky, resulting in meals with excess meat fish and refined cereals and too little calcium rich foods.
