Can you be in love with someone that have periodontal disease

[Charles-Tim]

As we all know, periodontal disease is a gum receding disease, the first is gingivitis that lead to the disease. The disease is the major cause of tooth loss, it makes mouth smells, also makes the month to bleed, this can be seen during teeth brushing by the trace of blood, it is not a good disease. Old men with several tooth loss would have developed the disease during adulthood.

It is now evident that the disease can be transmitted from person to person through kissing. There was someone I read about online who married a husband with such disease, a year after the there marriage she contracted the disease. Some say the disease is not contagious but many have been infected which makes it known that the disease is actually contagious.

With all bad symptoms I have listed above, if you know your girlfriend or boyfriend is having the disease, will you leave him or her?

if you think making love is just kissing. then maybe you need to find someone else.
nothing to do with their teeth hygiene. but maybe you can find someone thats better in bed.
if kissing is the only feature of a relationship thats keeping you together.. then maybe best to end it

sometimes its not clear if its contagious. or that a partner starts copying the same habits as the other person.
EG after getting together both people start eating the same food types and decide to eat in instead of go out. become lazy and stop pruning/grooming themselves because now they have a partner they dont have to try as hard. thus instead of showering and brushing teeth before a date. they just laze around at home and eat when they like and just jump into bed to go sleep without caring..

so it could be just not brushing daily once in a relationship that caused the other person to start having bad teeth too.
but hey thats what dentists are for. if they got to the point of having bad breath and not visited their dentist to catch it early. then got to the point of having teeth fall out.. kinda makes me believe that they sliped into bad habits

Very possible, it could be bad habit that cause it. If found early in gingivitis stage, only scaling (plaque removing) and rooting (smoothing) that makes the gum reattach to the teeth is a good option, it can even be effective against early stage of periodontitis.

And at any stage it is, I think seeing a dentist could help, it is treatable.

In addition to the disease, if not taking care of by scaling and rooting after noticing receding gum, no amount of brushing can heal the disease. That is why dentist intervention is needed.

It MAY be transmittable but I think it's not likely and easily treated by routine brushing of teeth.

Until the pandemic I went to the dentist yearly and normally clocked in at 0-2 mm recedence (3-5 is at risk afaik) and they were happy with all the readings. According to that article above, the point you need to seek medical attention is when it starts to bleed - if not caught in a routine checkup.

I believe that you can cure all kinds of mouth and gum diseases - and many others, as well - by taking MMS on a twice-daily basis for a few months - https://jimhumble.co/.
