ClinConnect Summary

The goal of this intervention study will be to determine if oral kissing between two people can increase salivary pH more quickly after drinking artificial juices, soft drinks, or (non-alcoholic) beers. It will also be studied whether the pH restoration time is faster when only one person kisses one of the named drinks or when both people do it.
