What is the mode of transmission of trench mouth?

Trench mouth, or acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis, is primarily transmitted through poor oral hygiene and the presence of specific bacteria in the mouth, particularly during periods of stress or immunosuppression. It is not contagious in the traditional sense but can occur in individuals who have compromised oral health or underlying health issues. Factors such as smoking, malnutrition, and lack of dental care can contribute to its development. Maintaining good oral hygiene and regular dental visits can help prevent the condition.


Which was worse in ww1 trench foot or trench mouth?

Both trench foot and trench mouth were severe conditions faced by soldiers in World War I, but trench foot was generally considered worse due to its debilitating effects. Trench foot resulted from prolonged exposure to cold, wet conditions, leading to tissue damage and potentially necessitating amputations. Trench mouth, while painful and debilitating due to severe gum infections, did not typically result in physical loss of limbs. Ultimately, trench foot had more immediate and life-altering consequences for soldiers.
