NEW YORK, NY, August 10, 2012 (Press-News.org) As the FDA continues to research the safety of BPA, a chemical found in a variety of materials, researchers are beginning to look into its effect on children with tooth-colored dental fillings, known to contain BPA. A new article from CNN discusses a recent study that "found that young people who [received] tooth-colored fillings made with BPA derivatives reported higher rates of anxiety, depression and social stress, compared to children whose fillings were made with metals or other materials." These findings give extra weight to previous studies that have linked BPA to a variety of medical problems including negative effects on fetal development as well as prostate and heart health. Respected endodontist, Dr. Ronald Wright Jr. believes that the study may hold some truth, but requires additional extensive research before professionals draw any conclusions.
Dr. Ronald Wright Jr. of Nashville bases this opinion in response to the fact that the study was unable to draw a conclusive link between BPA-based fillings and behavioral issues. He notes that the study itself was not broad enough with only 400 participants, and that future studies should have a greater breadth of subjects. Lead author of the study, Nancy N. Maserejian offers a similar perspective in a statement to CNN, "There is a strong suggestion that the associations may be causal, but we can't be certain. More research is needed."
Like Dr. Ronald Wright Jr., many dental professionals fear that the new study may deter children from receiving proper medical attention if they have a cavity. Since tooth decay is the leading chronic disease in American children, it is essential that they take immediate action should they encounter a cavity. In agreement with Wright's stance, Dr. Joel Berg, president of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, states in the article, "This is one study that has an early finding in the context of a larger group of studies looking at BPA, in a wide variety of materials where it's much more prevalent than in dental materials."
Dr. Ronald Wright Jr. of Nashville encourages all parents to have their children visit their dentist on a regular routine to ensure that no cavities have taken place. If there are cavities, he states that fillings are necessary to prevent further decay and infection.
