Question 4

We have another dental trivia question for you. Is tooth decay an infectious disease?

The answer is A, yes.

Parents with dental decay and gum disease can easily spread their germs through a kiss on the mouth or the sharing of food, cups, spoons or toothbrushes. So, it is essential for parents to maintain meticulous oral hygiene.

We recommend that both you and your partner visit us for a checkup, treatment and advice prior to the birth (or ideally conception).
