Dental caries is an infectious disease which damages the structures of teeth. Streptococcus mutans is a bacteria that causes dental caries and periodontal disease. Streptococcus mutans can only be found after the eruption of teeth or dentures. The earlier age of the child who has the colonization of Streptococcus mutans, the higher the risk of caries in children. Streptococcus mutans can also be passed from mother to her child, it’s probably caused by oral contact, and therefore caries is considered as a disease that can be transmitted. Purpose.

Streptococcus mutans obtained from plaque which taken from 28 pairs of mother-child pair. Plaque were planted into Tripticase Yeast Cysteine and the bacteria levels counted. Result.
