Rachael,
If the baby's mouth is colonized, then it is colonized. I cannot imagine that
there could be such a high level of antibodies that it would eradicate the
strep mutans. However, she can treat her own strep mutans and that in her
baby's mouth. According to Mark Breiner, DDS, a person's immune system does
influence the health of the mouth. She might want to read his book "Whole
Body Dentistry". In the meantime, this is how I have stopped decay in my
son's mouth--for some reason that the dentist was baffled by, his two top
molars decayed soon after eruption. I brush his teeth twice a day with
non-fluoride toothpaste, spinkled with pascalite (a form of bentonite
clay--do a search for pascalite on the web) and 2 drops of colloidal silver
(excess colloidal silver--way more than a few drops--can turn the skin
permanently grey--keep out of the child's reach). It has definately worked.
He has also received a constitutional homeopathic remedy.
