I am always worried about sharing my caries or gum disease bacteria, so I avoid sharing spoons and food. And then I've seen mothers pick up a pacifier from the ground and put it in their mouth to "clean" it before giving it back to the baby.

Do you [personally] have specifically bad bacteria in your gums?

I do have some gum recession, and a lot of fillings.
My wife has better dental health, even though she gives her teeth less attention than me in terms of hygiene.
But I've also found articles online about spreading cavities. Here is an example.
> Dental caries, commonly known as tooth decay, is the single most common chronic childhood disease. In fact, it is an infectious disease. Mothers with cavities can transmit caries-producing oral bacteria to their babies when they clean pacifiers by sticking them in their own mouths or by sharing spoons.

I think the normal way babies ramp their immune system is breastfeeding - their body struggles with soemthing, it is transferred to mom's nipple when breastfeeding, the mother forms an immune response, it is incorporated into the breast milk, the baby retrieves it next breast feeding.
I mean too early. Not sure when too early is.
