Is gum disease catching through kissing or sharing tooth brushes

Q. Is gum disease catching through kissing or sharing brushes.

A. Hi many thanks for your enquiry, there is no correlation between kissing and sharing a tooth brush with getting gum disease. gum disease is caused by three main reasons:

1: poor oral hygiene
2: smoking
3: heriditary

hope this is helpful.
