Abstract
Mothers in the perinatal stage and infants should be identified and evaluated for the risk of dental caries. Early childhood caries
can lead to detrimental consequences in the primary dentition. This entails that oral health care advice regarding oral hygiene, diet,
fluoride and dental management be provided to minimize the risk factors and optimize the protective factors to improve the longterm
oral health outcomes for both the mother and her infant.
