Biological anthropologists at the Australian National University are looking for mothers willing to share their pregnancy experience to help us understand its relationship to tooth growth.

Anonymous participation involves donation of one of your child's baby teeth and answering a short questionnaire about your pregnancy

In utero, the environment affects your baby's skeletal growth but we don't fully know how this is reflected in tooth microstructure. We are seeking a donation of one milk tooth, and we will ask you some basic questions about your health experiences during your pregnancy.

Our results will further science and help understand baby-mother biology.
