Warren, Michigan Dentist Explains Effects of Kissing

Hi, I’m Dr. Greg Apsey here in Warren, Michigan. I’d like to talk about kissing. Kissing is great but did you know that there are 500 different types of organisms that can be passed from person to person through kissing? I don’t want to tell you not to kiss but you should know who you’re kissing, okay? So basically you can get human papillomavirus through kissing. You can get oral herpes through kissing. You can get colds and flu’s through kissing. You can get mononucleosis through kissing and that’s just the beginning of it. So basically let’s keep this short and sweet. Know who it is that you’re kissing, if they have multiple partners.

It’s just like you’re kissing all those people as well and you should just be careful. And if you still feel like kissing after this, kissing has benefits actually. It increases the flow of saliva which is a good thing. It helps to bath the teeth in saliva and remove debris and bacteria. So we do recommend kissing, just kissing the right people.
