Can I kiss if I have mouth ulcers?

Oral ulcer is a relatively common disease and it is also a disease that can cause trouble to many people. For patients with oral ulcers, in addition to taking good care of their oral cavity, there are many behaviors that they should not do, such as kissing, as this may aggravate the condition. In addition, many groups of people are not allowed to kiss. Below, I will list for you who should not kiss.

1. People with bleeding gums

If your gums bleed, it may spread oral and blood system diseases. Bleeding gums mean that the mucous membrane barrier of the gums or periodontal system is damaged, and you are also prone to infection by other people's oral bacteria and infectious diseases. You should know that the skin and mucous membrane barrier is the first layer of barrier to protect the human body. Like armor, it can prevent external pollution, infection, etc.!

AIDS is the most direct example. If your oral mucosa is clean and intact, and the other person's is the same, then kissing an AIDS patient is relatively safe.

2. People with oral ulcers

People in this category have the same problems as those described above, and some severe ulcers may be confused with tumors.

3. People with swollen and painful gums

Swollen and painful gums indicate inflammation, which means there are many pathogenic bacteria in the mouth, thereby increasing the chance of cross-infection.

4. People with uneven teeth, crooked teeth, or protruding teeth

This type of people have crooked teeth, which makes it easy for bacteria and stones to accumulate, and the number of oral bacteria is relatively large. Of course, there are also people with crooked teeth but they keep themselves very clean. In that case, just be careful not to scratch your mouth when kissing!

5. People with receding gums have dark grey gums.

Gum recession itself is a manifestation of gum or periodontal disease. Dark gums are either caused by too much tartar, severe inflammation, or blood system diseases or other systemic diseases, which also require attention.

6. People with bad breath

Bad breath is actually a manifestation of oral diseases, such as gingivitis and periodontal disease. The actual cause of bad breath is the acidic odor caused by the massive growth of bacteria and chemicals such as indomethacin and sulfide.

7. People with gingivitis and periodontal disease

In fact, the bad breath, bleeding gums, swollen and painful gums, etc. mentioned above are mostly manifestations of these two oral diseases. We will talk about them in detail here to emphasize their commonality and importance. In cases of gingivitis and periodontal disease, the oral mucosal barrier is basically incomplete, that is, the first line of protection is lost, which not only spreads the disease to the other party, but also makes the person easily infected.
