Man's best friend can also give him gum disease! Researchers have found that dogs have a lot of bacteria in their mouths and these can be transmitted to humans and cause periodontal problems.
In a study published in the Archives of Oral Biology, Japanese researchers scraped plaque off the choppers of 66 dogs and 81 humans at an animal clinic and a dog obedience school — and putting the slimy stuff under the microscope, New York Daily News reported. Mouths of dogs were rife with the bacteria that causes gum disease in human beings like Porphyromonas gulae, Tannerella forsythia, and the Campylobacter rectus. There were smaller percentages of the same bacteria in the humans.
"The results suggest that several periodontopathic species could be transmitted between humans and their companion," researchers wrote. Dr Ann Hohenhaus at Animal Medical Center in Manhattan said the study doesn't prove conclusively that kissing dogs poses any danger.
