According to new research, children's teeth could open the door to their minds and help doctors diagnose mental health problems at an early stage.
Scientists examining teeth lost by six-year-olds found traces on their surface that were associated with behavioral problems.
The study reveals that children with a thin tooth enamel in particular often have trouble paying attention or are more aggressive. These traits have been associated with poor mental health later in life.

In a study presented at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) meeting in Washington DC, Dr Dunn and her colleagues assessed the teeth of 37 children over the age of six from California.
Whenever children lost their milk teeth, the team asked parents to donate them so they could analyse not just enamel but also volume of tooth pulp and other factors.
High resolution images taken of the teeth allowed the team to identify the correlation between tooth characteristics and behaviours reported by teachers and parents.
The scientists found that, for this relatively small sample at least, the links between teeth and behaviour were even larger that links previously demonstrated with socioeconomic factors.
This was a surprising finding considering that socioeconomic status is generally considered the best way to predict future mental health problems.
Teeth begin forming in foetuses, and the scientists suggest they are essentially recording information about what happens to children during pregnancy and during their early years of development.
