RE: Dental X-Rays Might Lead to Small Babies
Are you aware of a link between maternal dental problems and low birth
weight babies? If so, do you have any literature citations? Thanks.

Sadly, studies like this, where "the researchers lacked information on
why the women received X-rays", result in headlines like "Baby's
weight
depends on mom's X-ray exposure". If the underlying causes of the low
birth weights are the dental problems being addressed by the X-rays
and
thus now fewer pregnant women will be addressing their dental problems
because of such headlines, then we can expect an INCREASE in low birth
weight babies now...
