A member asked:
Gingivitis test showed streptococcus viridans and candida albicans in mouth. can it be transferred through oral sex or kissing?

Oral bacteria: These organisms are very common and exist in most mouths. They do not cause disease. So yes you will exchange these organisms but don’t worry about this.

Agree with Dr. E: Consult a dentist, preferably a periodontist for your gingivitis to prevent tooth loss and not worry about kissing. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!
