By Emily Oster| ParentData@ My husband is telling me that routine dental x-rays are not supported by evidence and we should decline them for our children (and ourselves), based on a random article he read. What’s your take? —A Cavity QueenI am not sure where your husband is reading it, but in fact his take is consistent with the American Dental Association guidelines. Some background: Dental x-rays are a source of radiation, and generally we want to avoid radiation.
By Emily Oster| ParentData@ In your recent post about longevity and menopause, you say that irregular periods before 45 could be an indicator of early menopause. But if 45 is an actual normal age for natural menopause, wouldn’t irregular periods (a sign of perimenopause that can start up to 10 years before) be normal well before 45? For instance, I seem to be following in my mother’s footsteps. We both had some irregular periods starting at 44, maybe sooner, but she went through full menopause in her mid-50s.
