Are You Spreading Bacteria to Your Baby?
Did you know you can spread dental decay to your child? Through poor diet and hygiene patterns, adults can develop cavities. If the adult has a history of holes, they can pass the destructive oral bacteria on to their children. However, research shows that once parents know they can spread tooth decay, 91 percent of new mothers stop sharing spoons, cups, utensils, and other items with their young children.
