Yes, mononucleosis (commonly known as mono) can affect gums and teeth indirectly. The virus can lead to symptoms such as dry mouth and swollen lymph nodes, which may result in difficulty swallowing and changes in oral hygiene habits. These factors can contribute to dental issues, including gum inflammation and increased risk of cavities. Maintaining good oral hygiene is essential during recovery to mitigate these effects.
