The route of delivery influences the gut microbiota and the development of the immune system. At the moment of birth, cesarean section infants have a lower diversity of bacteria when compared to naturally born infants. The delivery mode does influence the oral cavity colonization of infants, but there is no relevant association with dental caries.
