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.

This condition is called hyperdontia. It refers to the presence of supernumerary teeth — extra teeth that grow beyond the normal count of 32. These teeth can erupt in unusual locations, such as between the front teeth, behind existing teeth, or in other atypical areas of the mouth. While some individuals may develop just one or two extra teeth, others may experience extensive overcrowding, leading to a chaotic dental appearance.

Hyperdontia can result in several complications, including chronic pain, difficulty in speaking or chewing, increased risk of infections, and even alterations in jawbone structure due to misalignment or pressure.

Fortunately, with the help of surgical intervention and specialized orthodontic treatment, most cases of hyperdontia can be effectively managed — improving both function and appearance.

Persistent thumb sucking beyond the age of 3–4 years can lead to significant dentofacial consequences. Prolonged pressure from the thumb on the maxillary incisors and alveolar processes can cause proclination of upper anterior teeth, retroclination of mandibular incisors, and incomplete eruption of anterior teeth, resulting in an anterior open bite. This malocclusion disrupts normal occlusal contact and may affect mastication, swallowing, speech development, and facial aesthetics. Additionally, it can influence jaw growth patterns, particularly maxillary constriction or altered vertical dimension. Management involves behavioral modification, myofunctional therapy, and, in some cases, interceptive orthodontics using habit-breaking appliances. Early intervention is critical to prevent permanent skeletal or dental deformities.
