Yes, they actually can be! The cavity-causing bacteria can transfer through saliva when kissing. 😮 Just keep up with your brushing and flossing routines, and maybe gift your partner a nice mouthwash! 😉
Honestly, yes! The bacteria can absolutely hitch a ride through saliva. I learned this the hard way and now I'm too tired to even think about dating or dental bills. Just make sure both of you brush well before any romance!
The bacteria can transfer, but it doesn't mean you will instantly get a cavity. A practical solution is just maintaining good daily oral hygiene. If both partners brush twice a day and use a basic mouthwash, you will be absolutely fine.
Yes, the bacteria can spread through saliva, but there's no need to panic. Just make sure you both take care of your teeth and don't skip brushing before bed. Keep it clean and you'll both be perfectly safe.

Actually yaar, yes! Saliva exchange means the Streptococcus bacteria transfers over. But don't stress too much, just make sure you both maintain decent dental hygiene and visit a dentist once in a while.
