Most people don’t realize that cavities can actually spread from one person to another. While cavities themselves aren’t contagious, the bacteria responsible for them—especially Streptococcus mutans—can be transmitted through saliva. That means simple acts like kissing, sharing spoons or forks, or even blowing on a baby’s food can transfer these harmful bacteria from one mouth to another.

Once these bacteria colonize a new mouth, they begin to feed on sugars from food and produce acids that damage the tooth enamel, leading to cavities over time. This is especially important in young children, whose enamel is softer and more vulnerable. Parents, caregivers, and partners should be aware that oral hygiene affects not just themselves, but their loved ones too.

The best way to prevent this transmission is to maintain good oral hygiene, limit sugary foods, and avoid sharing utensils or toothbrushes. Regular dental checkups and cleanings also help reduce bacterial load and prevent decay. A healthy mouth is not only about brushing—it's about protecting those around you as well.

FYI. This Is not DIY braces. Patient came to the clinic complaining of misaligned teeth (see upper left photo). This is real ortho case. She is based abroad and she missed her appointments for 3 months. Unfortunately, her dentist came home to Manila already and sadly this happened to her teeth! Nasira na yun ngipin nya. Upper molars are already mobile. Lower molars drifted towards the adjacent tooth,forcefully! To all ortho patients, this can also happen to you if you do not keep your appointments. Please wag kayong “deadma” sa mga recall ng mga dentista nyo! We are doing our job to fix your teeth, so be responsible and cooperative too!

This is Why Oral Hygiene Is Critical During Orthodontic Treatment :

Fixed orthodontic appliances create additional plaque-retentive areas, making it easier for food debris and bacteria to accumulate around brackets and wires. Without proper brushing and interdental cleaning, this can lead to enamel demineralization, white spot lesions, and eventually dental caries. Maintaining excellent oral hygiene during braces is essential to ensure both orthodontic success and long-term dental health.
