[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would never do that with someone else's kid. However, I do that with my kid and have no issue with my Mom doing the same with my DS (haven't had any other relatives do it). Your SIL did overreact, but it's her kid so I would have just apologized.

[b]Re: cavities - while the bacteria can be transferred that way, the likelihood is quite small.[/b] For the Mom who's kid had cavities before 18 mo - either your dentist is overreacting (or making up fillings) or your kid has soft teeth. Despite the best oral hygine, some people are going to get a lot of cavities. There is a huge genetic component to cavities (brushing, floride, and sealants are still very important).[/quote]

From my research and personal experience, I vehemently disagree with you.[/quote]

I read an interesting study, so long ago that I can't post it, that said that children tend mirror their mothers in how many cavities they get, and that adopted children mirror their adoptive mother.  That certainly seems like support for the "bacteria" theory over the "soft teeth" theory.[/quote]
