Abstract
The Presence of bacteria associated with Early childhood caries in infants saliva suggests the need for oral health care in children at a far younger age than previously thought. By the time a child reaches Kindergarden, 40% have Dental cavities.Populatios with low socio economic status,who consume a diet rich in sugar,and whose mothers have low education levels are 32 times more likely to have this disease. The mother is the most common donor as noted in DNA fingerprinting studies that shows genotype matches between infant and mother in over 70% of cases.For this reason,mothers who themselves have experienced extensive past or current caries have a strong need for counseling on how to avoid early transmission of cariogenic bacteria to their offsprings. Minimising snacks and drinks with fermentable sugars and wiping the gums of babies without teeth are important practices for new parents to follow to help prevent future cavities.
