| Response from Dr. Dieterich
 There are no absolutes in this field. Of course if mouth sores or gums are bleeding in both partners and there is really heavy kissing, then there may be some risk of infection. However in normal circumstances with normal dental hygiene, the risks are very small. DTD | ||||||||
