Infant caries is an infectious disease with microbiological, dietary, and host risk factors. The disease is of epidemic proportions in immigrant and Native American populations studied. This paper reviews progress in current research and suggests a number of new approaches focusing on behavioral and chemotherapeutic methods.Keywords
