Objective: Vitamin supplements are commonly used to support the nutritional status of pregnant women during gestation. In this multidisciplinary study, we discussed the relationship between the three most used vitamin supplements in the Turkish population (vitamin D, vitamin B complexes, and multivitamins prepared for pregnant women) during pregnancy and tooth eruption time in babies.

Methods: The data of approximately 1,000 patients who gave birth in the obstetrics and gynecology clinic of our university were retrospectively reviewed. The babies of 145 patients who could be reached and who met the inclusion criteria were followed up in their postnatal period. Babies' first tooth eruption time, presence of caries, use of breast milk, and number of missing or excess teeth according to the month were determined.

Results: No statistically significant differences were found between the groups regarding maternal age, infant age, number of caries, breast milk use, or the number of missing/excessive teeth. However, it was found that patients who took vitamin D + B and patients who took only vitamin B had significantly earlier first tooth eruption times than those who used all three vitamins. The patients who used three vitamins had the latest tooth eruption time. There was no statistically significant difference between first tooth eruption time and maternal age or breast milk use.

Conclusion: The use of vitamins in pregnant women can affect babies' oral–dental systems, which develop while they are still in their mother's womb. More detailed information on the use of vitamins is needed in the future
