Did you know babies often mimic the same bacteria in their mouths as their Mom’s! We all have
‘good’ bacteria in our mouths, but if Mom has a cavity, then there are some ‘bad’ bacteria
present. Mom’s often try food for baby with the same spoon for temperature and taste or clean
a soiled pacifier with their mouth, this ‘bad’ bacteria can then be transferred from Mom’s mouth
to baby’s mouth by saliva. This is why Mom’s-to-be need to take extra special care of their own
teeth.
