Brief Answer:
hi and welcome to hcm

Detailed Answer:
Tooth infection is not contagious since this infection is deeper and caused by some other factors,not just by specific microbes. Some bacterial infections in mouth mucosa may be infectious but only if other person has cut in mouth or lips,but tooth infections are not transmissable as i said. Wish you good health. Regards
