The purpose of this study is to control the levels of bacteria that causes cavities in mothers by a combination of treatments that include fluoride and chlorhexidine varnishes and xylitol-chewing gum before the appearance of teeth in the mouth of their children. By doing that we expect to reduce the acquisition of the bacteria that causes cavities (the mutans streptococci) by the children which in turn will reduce the development of cavities.
