Human tooth development having negative effects on human health, including, but not limited to, fetal development. As shown in animal studies which mimic human enamel, the mother’s consumption of products with BPA during pregnancy can lead to the child’s tooth development being obstructed. Those children are shown to be prone to incisor and first molar hypomineralization, a weakened state of the enamel. Additionally, it is most important for mother’s to avoid BPA during pregnancy, but also avoid BPA-use in the child’s products up to five months of age. Anodontia is a complete lack of tooth development, and hypodontia is a lack of some
Human tooth development rapidly. This results in the perpetually increasing size of the junctional epithelial layer and the isolation of the remnants of ameloblasts from any source of nutrition. As the ameloblasts degenerate, a gingival sulcus is created. Frequently, nerves and blood vessels run parallel to each other in the body, and the formation of both usually takes place simultaneously and in a similar fashion. However, this is not the case for nerves and blood vessels around the tooth, because of different rates of development. Nerve fibers start to near the tooth during the cap stage of tooth development and grow toward the
