Does anyone have any experience or knowledge about how gum cancer can pass from one person to another? I'm looking for help understanding how someone can contract gum cancer from another person.
How does gum cancer pass

Gum cancer, or periodontal disease, is a serious condition that can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. It is caused by bacteria in the mouth that eats away at the gums and can eventually lead to cancer. While it is possible to pass gum cancer from person to person, it is not very likely.
Risk Factors
There are several risk factors that can increase the likelihood of developing gum cancer. These include smoking, poor oral hygiene, genetics, and certain medications. People with weakened immune systems, such as those with HIV/AIDS, are also at an increased risk of developing gum cancer.
Transmission
Gum cancer can be transmitted through saliva, but it is considered a very rare occurrence. This is because the bacteria that cause gum cancer are usually only found in the mouth and are not easily spread through saliva.
Prevention
The best way to prevent gum cancer is to practice good oral hygiene. This includes brushing and flossing your teeth regularly, as well as visiting your dentist for regular checkups. Quitting smoking and limiting your intake of sugary foods and drinks can also help reduce your risk of developing gum cancer.

Gum cancer, also known as oral cancer, is an uncommon but serious type of cancer that can spread to other parts of the body. It is most often caused by exposure to certain viruses, such as the human papillomavirus (HPV), or by excessive smoking or drinking alcohol. Other risk factors include poor oral hygiene, a weakened immune system, and certain types of chewing tobacco. The disease can spread through direct contact with an infected person or through saliva, blood, or other bodily fluids. Treatment depends on the stage and type of cancer, and can include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery.

Q: What causes gum cancer?
A: Gum cancer, also known as gingival cancer, is typically caused by a malignant growth of cells in the gums. Certain risk factors, such as smoking, poor oral hygiene, and certain viruses, can increase your chances of developing gum cancer. Other factors such as age, gender, and ethnicity also play a role. In some cases, gum cancer can be caused by genetic predisposition. If you are concerned about your risk factors for developing gum cancer, it is important to speak with your dentist or doctor.
