Summary

This study looks at why some young children get severe tooth decay that keeps coming back. Instead of only looking at teeth, researchers will also study family stress, children's behavior, and sleep patterns. They plan to collect data from 1,200 preschool children and their parents to create a tool that predicts which kids are at highest risk, so doctors can offer personalized prevention tips.
