Tooth Bank Seeks Contributions
Filed in archive Biotech Hubs and Facilities , Other Biotechnology News by ruth on March 27, 2008

Bank is requesting milk teeth from 100 000 children and could become the biggest tooth bank in the world.
Milk teeth can give invaluable information about environmental factors and nutrition in the foetal stage and in early childhood. MoBa is collecting large amounts of information about each mother's diet and environment through pregnancy with the use of questionnaires, plus blood and urine samples from both parents. The children are followed as they grow up with a series of questionnaires. This information, together with the milk teeth, will give knowledge about the effect environmental pollutants have on children's health.For more information, or if you'd like to participate, please refer to this report.
