They improve our mood and work as a natural antidepressant, they also dilate the blood vessels, reducing pain. Furthermore, kissing reduces stress, tension and anxiety, improving our general state of well-being and raising our self-esteem.

1- Kissing activates the salivary glands, producing an excess of saliva that regulates the PH of the oral cavities, thus regulating the pH of the mouth.They reduce bacterial plaque and halitosis.
2- The increase in saliva caused by kissing counteracts dry mouth and neutralises the oral acids that cause dental erosion and prevents tooth decay.
3- The production of endorphins that increase the level of happiness can attenuate toothache as they reduce physical pain.
4- Kissing reduces tensions and a relaxing effect on the jaw improving cases of bruxism (teeth grinding).
