معرفی
Hanna Suokko is a University Teacher and Doctoral Researcher at the Institute of Dentistry, University of Turku. She is actively engaged in research related to early childhood oral health and preventive dentistry, particularly focusing on parental influences on infant toothbrushing behaviors.
Her research interests center on preventive strategies in pediatric dentistry, with a strong emphasis on behavioral and epidemiological aspects of oral health. She investigates how parental habits, particularly those of mothers and fathers, affect the oral hygiene practices of their young children, using data from the FinnBrain Birth Cohort Study.
The recent publications highlight a consistent focus on understanding factors that predict suboptimal toothbrushing frequency in toddlers, examining both maternal and paternal roles, and the use of fluoridated toothpaste in infancy. Her work contributes to public health strategies aimed at improving early oral health outcomes.
