Tooth mineral is lost if acid levels are low enough and if acid is in contact with the tooth for sufficient time. White spot lesion is first visual stage of mineral loss.

Tooth mineral is lost if acid levels are low enough and if acid is in contact with the tooth for sufficient time. White spot lesion is first visual stage of mineral loss. Demineralization 1 Hour White Spot Lesions Bacterial Factors Bacteria attached to teeth metabolizes sugars to form acid. Cariogenic Mutans Streptococci are transmitted from mother/primary caregiver to child. Caries risk is higher for children who acquire Mutans Streptococci early in life. 4

Cariogenic Mutans Streptococci are transmitted from mother/primary caregiver to child. Caries risk is higher for children who acquire Mutans Streptococci early in life. Strong evidence that sugar, especially sucrose, fosters caries. Small increases in caries incidence if sugar is eaten with meals. Caries risk is greatest if sugar is consumed frequently. Certain sugars are less cariogenic than others. Certain foods are not cariogenic (e.g., milk, cheese, nuts, meats). 5

Juice should always be offered to infants in a cup, not a bottle. Recommendation for toddlers and young children is the same as for infants.

9 Preventing Childhood Caries Identify developmental hypoplastic enamel. Reduce frequent, prolonged sucrose exposure. Prevent Mutans Streptococci transmission. Reduce level of Mutans Streptococci burden. Optimize systemic fluoride. Brush daily. Apply antimicrobial or topical fluoride (children at high risk). Receive early and frequent examinations. Parents /Caregivers Role in Prevention Follow appropriate food behaviors. Prevent Mutans Streptococci transmission (e.g., taste food with a different spoon, clean pacifier with water). Lift the lip and look for caries. Brush daily with less than a pea-sized amount (small smear) of fluoridated toothpaste.
