Gingivitis: Gingivitis is caused by bacteria that are in your mouth. Good brushing and flossing will prevent these bacteria from growing and causing gingivitis. Since these bacteria are everywhere they can be transmitted by kissing and other oral contact. Prevention is the key. Rush, floss. And see dentist regularly.
