Is a dog's mouth really cleaner than a person's mouth?

MythBusters did an experiment on this. You can read a part of it here. \n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MythBusters_episodes:_Season_3

It is called coryphagia (or similar, not sure spell check will get it) and it is due to a couple of possible reasons.  One is their incredible ability to smell can actually scent nutrients left in scat of wild animals and other dogs, or even in their own excrement.  Two has to do with the instinctive role as predators.  By ingesting waste from other animals, they may be able to mask or alter the scent of their natural wastes, thus aiding them in hiding their presence in an area.  Three, the dog may have some sort of nutritional imbalance it is looking to rectify in this way.  This may also be indicated by eating of plant leaves, which tends to indicate the dog senses something wrong in its digestive tract.\n\nAnd the final possible reason....dogs can be strange and gross and this is right up their with their obsessive licking of their genitals!  Now come over here and give sweet woogums a big sloppy kiss!

If it does in rodents, then yeah, I guess it would in humans. That's not a real big selling point though,  so they'll just keep that hush hush, and go with the fact that it makes your teeth whiter!!!! Smile.

No, but I have had people try to give me the "breath of death".  Perhaps more people should brush regularly and use some mouthwash.

Depends on the poop and what is attacking you. If it's a dog, they like poop for example. Please be more specific :)

I actually just heard about this. There is a place that trains dogs to sniff out cancers. It sounds kinda strange, but they stated that some dogs had done this without any training.

I've read that dogs look like their owner after awhile. Or is it the other way around? \nSo, yes, two people can start to look and sound alike. But perhaps they were unconsciously looking for such traits in the first place?

Actually I have heard somewhere that "chedder cheese has enzymes that are not bad for you teeth .\nI am not certain about cleansing them.But good old\nfashioned h2O (Water)is probably about the best.\nFlouride is a chemically active mineral that comes from simply certain "rocks"..Salt of course is \nnot considered a food but is good for mouth cleansing and healing.Any food that easily decomposes and creates bacteria is generally not good for your teeth.But as humans we once in "prehistoric"times were some catagorized more then others as herbivores or carnivores.Herbivore\nmeaning plant eaters and carnivore meaning meat eaters,(basically)Some people were more "plant eaters then others and had less wear and tear on\nor about their teeth,Carnivores on the otherhand \nwere meat eaters and had more wear and tear on their teeth.Therefore the "herbivores teeth were generally healthier.But neither is true "good old\nfashioned brushing your teeth with a small amount of toothpaste cleanser regularly would have made\nthe herbevores or carnivores pretty much equally the same in modern dental health.BUt the reason\nwhy carnivores teeth were worse than herbivores is only because meat is tougher than green leaves .

GOOD QUESTION!\nAnswer is yes.  Especially if the scavenger eats the salivary tissue.

Is this a serious question?  Did it ever occur to you that the biology of a dog is just a wee bit different than that of a human?

I guess there is no answer to this question!  Why don't people keep themselves clean in general?? LAZINESS!!!\nI see people with nasty teeth, hair, nails, clothes and  they just don't care!  I was three people away from a lady the other day and I could smell her breath!! YUCK!  People just don't care enough about themselves!

You are supposed to clean up after your pet. Maybe if you cleaned up after yourself it would be okay.

A dog's nose has 200 million or so scent receptors make it much more sensitive than the human nose. The longer the dog's nose, the more scent receptors it has and the better it can smell. Dogs with the best sense of smell, such as beagles and bloodhounds, sometimes called "scenthounds," have long snouts that house a complicated network of tissues, mucus, and scent receptors that enable a dog to smell so well.

i know something u may want to do. first the animal to be used will be the dog.  when a dog sees food it salivates. The food is the uncondioned stimulus, becasue any dog wld naturally salivate when  it is presented with food. However let's say you ring a bell, the doy will not saliavte. However if everytime you ring the bell, you present the dog with food it will salivate. The dog will establish a relasionship with teh dog and the beell, and evrytime it hears the bell which is teh conditonned stimlulus it will salivatte.
