Is it possible for someone to pass gingivitis?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

The bacteria can be passed from one person to another.

While most experts say that it isn't contagious because plaque is easily brushed and flossed away, a certain group of Canadian scientists say otherwise. They concluded that it is contagious and offers a fairly high transmission rate of up to 70 percent. It is suggested that periodontal bacteria is definitely transferred between partners though kissing. However, it is also concluded that while the bacteria can be transferred it does not have to result in gum disease in the new party. This is assuming that the recipient is equipped with an immune system that is strong enough to neutralize the infection. So, is gingivitis contagious? Yes, but it doesn't have to be serious or cause future damage.
