一位牙醫聲稱，咬唇接吻可以促進唾液分泌，清除口腔中腐蝕牙齒的有害細菌和酸，極有益於牙齒健康。

齒顎矯正醫生卡里德‧卡西姆認為，人們在傳統刷牙和使用牙線之外，應每天熱吻4分鐘。

A daily snog also reduces infection risk because bacteria from your partner’s saliva boost your immune system.

Other health benefits include stress relief, thanks to love hormones, and more youthful looks from exercising the face muscles.
