Default C-Sections Linked to Higher Cavity Risk in Babies

FRIDAY, Aug. 26 (HealthDay News) -- Women with dental cavities who
deliver their babies by Caesarean section should pay close attention to
their babies' dental health later on, a new study suggests.

Just to prove statistics can prove anything.

"Don't share spoons with your baby," Hewlett tells mothers, especially
those who have cavities. "Chewing gum with Xylitol in it after eating
is a good way to clear the mouth of bacteria."

Sponsored by a manufacturer of chewing gum with Xylitol in by any chance?

From what I've read (from my kids' dentist), Xylitol does have a

measurable impact on reducing s. mutans in the mouth. So I'm with you
on the study (my guess is that there may be a higher likelihood of
babies given pacifiers after C-sections, and that parents of
pacifier-using babies may be likely to clean the pacifier my using
their own saliva...but that's the armchair analysis, totally
guesstimate), but xylitol seemingly does have some validity for
reducing cavities.

Of course, in 35 years, we'll have probably grown multiple arms due to
chewing xylitol gum.

That is what my former dentist told me. I got bad teeth from my mom.
If I had any clue that could pass it on to the children, I would have
been more careful about swapping spit with them. So far the kids'
teeth are fine, but mine didn't start going bad until I was grown.
