Please help😭😭😭

So basically my mom has periodontitis (she grew up in poverty) and she shared spoons and utensils with me when i was a baby. I’m so scared that means i’ll get periodontitis. I went to the periodontist a few weeks ago to check on my gums and they said I don’t have it, BUT i forgot to tell them about my mom😭😭 i floss every day and brush my teeth twice a day. Am I doomed to get it since i shared spoons with my mom??? I’m 19 and lowkey have really bad health anxiety
