This means that cavities can become contagious however, it is normally only an issue if the person you are kissing has several cavities a year which can be a sign that he or she may have an above average bacteria count.  However there is no reason to stop kissing all together.

Before a kissing try brushing your teeth or rinsing out your mouth with mouth wash. Not convenient, then chew on some sugar free gum or drink a glass of water. If you feel your partner may be an issue you can always brush and floss your own teeth afterwords.

In short kissing is fine.  This is just another reminder as to way having good oral health care is important not just for yourself but for your partner as well.  So keep brushing at least twice a day and floss daily and see your dentist at least twice a year.  A clean mouth and fresh breath makes for nicer kisses anyway.

It is the flossing she will floss right in front of you. While you are eating or talking to her.  She had to be told by our teacher more then once to stop flossing in class and to pay attention.   I asked her why she has  to do that so much.  That you only need to brush twice and floss once a day.

She is well I do not want bad teeth like my mom.  That her mom had to have all her teeth pulled out by the time she was 26.  I am like whatever but I do not want you doing it in front of me while we hang out.

My question is how much times it too many times.  I though it I could prove to her she that brushing and flossing too much could hurt her teeth too that it may help her slow down with doing it every 15 minutes of the day.

Ways to clean and reduce cavities.

Studies have suggested that dental hygiene remains at the bottom of the health care duties compared to taking a bath or washing your hair.

How often should I brush my teeth?

Brush your teeth with a fluoride toothpaste at least twice a day for 2-3 minutes, especially before bedtime.

How to reduce gum disease and tooth decay?

Flossing your teeth helps remove plaque in between your teeth where a toothbrush cannot reach. Mouthwash helps reduce bacteria in your mouth which helps to reduce tooth decay. Be sure to visit your dentist every six months for a professional teeth cleaning.
