Recent studies at Ohio State University have shown that periodontal (gum) disease can be spread from one family member to another. The bacteria causing the most virulent forms for localized periodontal disease were demonstrated to be easily passed from one family to another. Spouses were four times more likely to be infected as spouses of noninfected persons. Children of infected parents also had a higher rate of infection.
