Is gingivitis contagious?

Q: Is gingivitis contagious? Can I catch it from another person?

A: Not every person is contagious, but the percentage for transmission is high. Several documented studies have proven this through microscopic analysis of the bacteria in partners with severe soft tissue gum inflammation. The similarity of the bacteria confirms that one partner had transmitted it to the other.
