Is periodontal/gum disease contagious?

Research has shown that periodontal/gum disease is caused by the inflammatory reaction to bacteria under the gums, so periodontal disease technically may not be contagious. However, the bacteria that cause the inflammatory reaction can be spread through saliva. This means that if one of your family members has periodontal disease, it’s a good idea to avoid contact with their saliva by not sharing eating utensils or oral health equipment. If you notice that your spouse or a family member has the warning signs of a possible periodontal problem (bleeding, red and swollen gums, or bad breath) you may want to suggest that they see a dentist or periodontist for an exam. It may help to protect the oral health of everyone in the family. (APP)

Proper Care of Your Toothbrush Brampton Dentists

Posted on September 15, 2014 by Lifeology 101

Do not share your toothbrush or use someone else’s
After brushing, rinse your toothbrush thoroughly with tap water and allow to air-dry
Store standing upright. If it is near other toothbrushes, do not let the heads touch
Do not store in closed containers
Replace your toothbrush every three to four months or when the bristles look worn and bent
It is also important to change toothbrushes after you’ve had a cold, the flu, a mouth infection or a sore throat. That’s because germs can hide in the toothbrush bristles and lead to reinfection.
Be sure to use toothbrushes that carry the Canadian Dental Association (CDA) Seal of Recognition
