The scientific community has proven that the early experiences and perinatal psychology of a fetus can affect its health and development, including the morphology and health of its teeth. The fetus senses and responds to the mental states of its mother, including the feelings and love shown to it by its parents.
As I mention in my book “What the teeth say about us | Hidden feelings and emotions, childhood memories and family issues, connections between our teeth and organs.”:

“The prenatal experiences of the fetus have an important place in the child’s development, as they are responsible for both his emotional and social and cognitive development. The psychosomatic state of the mother is vital for the baby’s psychology.

Prenatal psychology is a multidimensional science that examines a person’sperson’s intrauterine experience and investigates its impact on their life. Furthermore, it reveals everything that has been recorded in his consciousness from conception to the end of breastfeeding (about 3-4 years), decisively determining his behaviour as an adult, his physical health, his mental balance, the quality of relationships that it also outlines the course of his evolution as a human being.

Oral health, in general, is the result of a delicate balance of complex mechanisms interacting with the environment.
All imbalances during human development impact general and oral health, as well as the eruption and growth of teeth, and are responsible for the pathological conditions that appear on the teeth.

It all starts with pregnancy.

All the research proves the correctness of Dr Michel Odent’sOdent’s conclusion: “Primary health, i.e. the physical and mental health of man, is established during the period of the close relationship with the mother, i.e. during the nine months of pregnancy, the critical hours of birth and the period of breastfeeding.”
It has been proven how the psychology of the pregnant woman turns into a physical state in the fetus which later presents various physical disharmonies.
According to Dr Thomas Verny, intrauterine life determines man’sman’s relationship with himself, his fellow man, and the planet Earth. Ecology can’tcan’t exist in the World without Ecology having pre-existed in the womb. His research and conclusions emphasize the environment of the child’s embryo. Respect for the environment begins from intrauterine life!
The fetus senses the mother’smother’s thoughts.
A mother’s thoughts, ideas, and emotions about her child significantly impact their development. These internalized images can greatly influence their growth and well-being.
The effect of the mother’smother’s thoughts on the fetus was also investigated by the French university researcher Marie-Claire Busnel, who said: “The fetus reacts to speech as well as to the mother’smother’s thought when this thought has a clarity and intensity.”
The pregnant woman is a shaper! The images and thoughts about the child leave impressions on him, shaping his existence.

Indifference, lack of desire for birth or even rejection of its gender by parents can be traumatic experiences for the fetus. According to research, these adverse effects can have long-term impacts on a person’sperson’s psychology and overall health, including their teeth.

All lead to the conclusion that the thoughts and feelings of the pregnant woman and the father, which constitute the first intrauterine environment, determine which properties of the genes will be expressed and which will remain silent.

The sensory development of the fetus

When it is born, the baby carries within it, together with its hereditary wealth, all the experiences it lived in the womb. Intrauterine experiences will affect their relationship with their mother, future perceptions and preferences, and character, in other words, the rest of their lives. Science is extending further and further back to the roots of human life to find answers to many questions, to illuminate points still obscure in the formation of mental disorders and disorders, and to obtain a complete picture of the evolutionary history of man.

The image that the fetus is no longer a passive creature growing up in an entirely protective environment, awaiting “real life”, but a small being with specific characteristics, active, sensitive, and constantly influenced by the mother prompts parents to relate to their child already from the period of pregnancy. Their educational role starts from then, and the positive contact with the fetus seems particularly useful for their later relationship. In the nine months of pregnancy, the fetus grows and matures in all its functions.
The role of prenatal psychology
Prenatal psychology emphasizes the importance of the early mother-child relationship, already in the womb, as a basis for their later ordinary course and healthy character formation. The pregnancy’s joy, the baby’s acceptance, and satisfaction are transmitted to the fetus. They are, therefore, valuable mental food. The mother communicates with the fetus in many ways. The first way of communication is purely physical.
From conception, the mother’s body adapts to the new needs and provides the fetus with everything it needs to grow. Diet, medication, smoking, and the use of alcoholic or narcotic substances play a crucial role in the healthy physical maturation of the fetus, with possible consequences in the development of its life.
In summary, the healthy development of the fetus’s teeth is influenced by many factors, such as genetic inheritance, the mother’s prenatal psychological conditions, diet, habits, and family relationships.
The fetus does not ask for much: only love and acceptance. In this way, the daily anxiety and fear problems are overcome and transformed into a life force.
Strengthening the information and education of mothers about the importance of perinatal psychology during pregnancy can contribute to the prevention of general and dental health problems of the child from the beginning of his life.
