Can a child's teeth predict their mental health with Dr. Erin Dunn

Send us Fan MailTrigger warning: early life stress, child abuse, spousal abuse.In today’s episode, we speak to Dr. Erin Dunn, social and psychiatric epidemiologist at Harvard University. We discuss the difference between stress, early life adversity, and childhood trauma. We learn about the long-term effects of adversity and what parents can do to mediate or buffer them. Dr. Dunn answers questions from the audience using scientific research as evidence. My favorite part of the episode is talking about TEETH! But why teeth? Dr. Dunn studies the layers within your child’s baby teeth to understand how early life stress can be recorded in tooth development. This discussion is absolutely fascinating, I’m so sure you’re going to love it! If you’re interested in donating your child’s teeth, visit https://teethforscience.com/ e-mail Dr. Dunn [email protected] or visit Dr. Dunn's website http://www.thedunnlab.comFollow the Dunn Lab for updates on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TheDunnLab Twitter https://twitter.com/ErinDunnScDInstagram @thesciencetoothfairySupport the showJoin the Reflective Parent Book Club for only $9.99 for the year: https://reflectiveparentclub.circle.so/checkout/reflective-parenting-book-clubWatch my Tedx Talk on YouTube called The Over-Educated, Emotionally Underprepared Parent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDYJFY_9K9E&t=19sGrab my course for $99, The Emotionally Aware Parent: https://curiousneuron.com/reflective-parent-club/Doors open to join the next 8-week training (Starts Oct 12th) here https://curiousneuron.com/reflective-parent-club/
