A few kissing facts to get you ready for Valentine’s Day!
- Kissing can cause cavities. If you kiss someone who may have bad bacteria in his/her mouth, their saliva could pass the bacteria on to you, thereby causing cavities. On the other hand, according to Dr. Mello, others believe that kissing may actually prevent cavities since salvia is the body’s natural way of cleaning the mouth.
- South Africa Bans Kissing. In December 2007 the South African government banned kissed involving anyone under the age of 16, regardless of consent.
