More Stressed The Parents, The More Likely The Children Are To Have Tooth Decay

According to a study kids born to parents under stress-induced by low income, having little education, and being a single parent, are more likely to have tooth decay.

Researchers from The Ohio State University examined the stress levels of parents whose young children either had no cavities or so many cavities that they had to receive anesthesia before undergoing dental treatment.


The team looked the parents' education levels and income, and noted whether they were single parents.

They finally measured the parents' stress levels again after the children had received dental treatment.

It was found that low income, having little education, and being a single parent led to increases in parental stress.

The researchers also found that the more stressed the parents, the more likely the children were to have decay.

Interestingly, they even found that parents whose children had received treatment for dental decay had lessened stress of being a parent.

Thus, it is required that dental professionals should not only repair childhood decay, but also assist families in finding the help they need to decrease the stress of life.

The investigators presented their findings during the 87th General Session of the International Association for Dental Research.

What is woman??

There goes my another post that I wrote on Women's Day but couldn't post earlier, but as they say: better late than never: It all started with a joke, a repetitive joke. I find this joke at many many places where they say no one can ever answer what exactly a woman is?? Like anyone else I took this as a light joke for a long time, a real long time then I read somewhere that "there is little truth behind every just kidding". I do not know what in me caused me to relate these two things. Then I actually spent a good enough time, looking for answers of this questions. And now, I have reached a stage where I can say I have found the answer. Yes, I am that fortunate one who got the answer. Let's go over this : What exactly a woman is?? After thinking intensively and going over to all the historical data, events, I could find only one answer.

Should Gandhiji's belongings be auctioned??

This is not the first time that the Government of India and the Navjivan Trust are involved in a controversy over the auctioning of Mahatma Gandhi’s belongings. The current James Otis incident may not be the last time either. But the question arises is whether these things should be auctioned or not?? Being an Indian I feel that these things belong to India and they are not for auctioning. Its belongings of our "Father of Nation".Its a question of our national pride. Mr. Jitendra Desai, the managing trustee of the Ahmedabad-based Navjivan Trust, set up by the Mahatma in 1929 says "It is for the auctioneer to establish the authenticity and certify the articles to be originals" It is a good step taken by "Vijay Malya" to obtain the possession. This has caused things to remain in India.He has won the auction with 9.3 cr. Earlier also he has taken the possession of sword of Tipu Sultan in an auction and submitted it to the national treasure. But the question r
