Abstract

Omega-3&6 fatty acids and their derivatives are so essential to a child's development. A well-nourished nursing mother provides her infant with a perfect blend of essential fatty acids flaxseeds and their long-chained derivatives, assuring the body tissues a rich supply. Several factors affecting eruption dates ranging from root development, nutrition, chronic diseases, rich tissue vascularity and hormonal influences have been implicated in this process. Gestational diabetes can have severe adverse effects on fetal and neonatal developmental outcomes. The present study provide the first evidence on the effect of flaxseeds as a source of omega 3 & 6 on offsprings' tooth development with compromised pregnancy.
