A dental health expert has urged people not to let their dogs kiss them. Kissing on the mouth is a natural behaviour for dogs - often indicating a sign of affection.
But Dr Khaled Kasem, dental expert and chief orthodontist at Impress, said the action could be damaging your oral health. Dr Kasem said: "Dogs aren't known for their hygiene. They don't (usually) brush their teeth or rinse with mouthwash, and they've probably never visited a dentist.
"Their daily routine consists of eating leftovers on the floor, licking their bum, and checking out dead animals left on the pavement. Ultimately, their mouth is filthy.
