“Can you kiss someone with a tooth infection?”
I am a 21 year old male. I wonder if you can kiss someone with a tooth infection?

Hi,
Well, at the risk of being too direct, you would be eating the infected person's pus if it’s a draining abscess. Try for another opportunity after it’s taken care of.

Bacteria involved in a tooth infection are transmitted with kissing. Best to clear up the infection as soon as possible.
You can, but your breath may not be the freshest
Yes. You can kiss someone. Tooth infection is not contagious. But it can be dangerous for you. Very important to take care of it as soon as possible.
Most tooth infections are embedded within the bone or tooth. So, this bacteria is typically not transferable from person to person. However, depending on the kind of kiss, the bacteria responsible for gum disease is easily transferable from person to person.
Can you? Yes. Can infections spread from one person to another? Yes. So, is it a good idea??? Hopefully, partners are concerned with each other's health and don't spread infections. Instead, they get the infection treated.
You can but be sure it is tooth related. The tooth should be treated immediately
Why do such a stupid thing? Nothing dangerous, but "yak."
