Da li je karijes zarazan

Is caries contagious? Caries isn't an infection disease, so we can't say that it is transmitted that way. It is caused by the bacterium Streptococcus mutans, which is easily transmitted from adults to children, and which is responsible for the development of caries. This bacterium feeds on the remants of food that has remained on the teeth, especially sugars. It product an acid that destroy enamel, and that softening of enamel is the beginning of caries. The moment the caries touches the dentinal layer, it spreads and the process becomes faster. Eventually the caries reaches the nerve, and the pain begins. Babies and children are especially sensitive to this bacterium because the flora of the oral cavity in toddlers is still developing. That is why it is important that parents don't put baby pacifiers and spoons in their mouth. They shouldn't drink from the same glass and not try baby food. The higher the number of bacteria and infections in the mouth of the parents, the higher the probability that the child will become infected. The easiest way to reduce the appearance of caries is regular and proper oral hygiene, limiting sugar and carbs, and regular check-ups at the dentist.
