Are Dental Cavities Contagious?
The blame of causing cavities is entirely on bacteria-
streptococcus mutans. No matter what you eat, dental
cavities can’t develop without these bacteria. These
bacteria were shown to feed on sugars present in the
food to produce an acid that dissolves the enamel part of
the tooth to start the cavitation process. The resultant
cavity formed attracts more food particles which in turn
provided more substrate for bacteria to feed upon to
form more acid. So the usual advice given to cavity
prone individuals was to cut down on sweet and sticky
food.

1). From mothers to children: Mothers with cavities can
transmit caries-producing oral bacteria to their babies
when they clean pacifiers by sticking them in their own
mouths or by sharing spoons or when a mother tastes a
child’s food to make sure it’s not too hot. Likewise,
parents also find themselves cleaning off their child’s
spoon with their own mouth or sharing a meal using the
same utensils. Avoiding this habit can go a long way in
stopping the flow of bacteria from your mouth to your
child’s.
