SCENARIO:

Your new girl (or boy) friend stays the night unplanned. We aren't talking sex yet. You are still in the getting to know each other phase...

Would you allow them or offer them YOUR toothbrush?

NO! Offer them the toothpaste and tell them to use their finger!

sure but i'd say "You can keep it" afterwards.

Christopher said:

LoL

Smarty pants

No, I think it's unhygenic to share toothbrushes. I would give them a spare one!

I think I am going to have to keep this one!

Lleena said:

Good morning Leena!

Just think of the OTHER unhygenic things you will be doing!

Christopher said:

:LOL: Morning!

CarrieLee said:

Yeah! I would agree with you... In fact he offered me his Sonic toothbrush. I was stunned! I knew how he felt at that point.

I have spares.. tons infact, or if I didnt, I would go out and buy them a new one.

Kissing & Cavities

The kissing bacteria?

Streptococcus mutans is the bacterium blamed for causing cavities, and may be transmissible through saliva, according to the study published in the Journal of the American Dental Association. It lives in saliva and dental plaque. The bacterium can be spread through direct or indirect contact. Indirect contact includes sharing infected objects such as eating utensils, toothbrushes, cups or food. Kissing is considered direct contact.

The degree of transmission varies from person to person. Many factors intersect to determine whether or not bacteria will be transferred. These include the extent of the infection in the carrier, the frequency of contact and the diet and immune system of the receiver. The bacteria are easily spread and parents should exercise caution with their children. Children are less aware of dental habits and more susceptible to germs. Kissing an infant on the mouth is highly discouraged by the researchers of the study.

While more research on Streptococcus mutans is planned, others believe that kissing may actually prevent cavities. Saliva is the body’s natural way of cleaning the mouth and getting rid of the food fragments that can cause cavities, according to fact sheets published by the Academy of General Dentistry. Kissing intensely stimulates saliva and may be effective in preventing cavities. In the course of heightened saliva production, the mouth can manufacture up to one teaspoon of saliva per minute.
