kiss with teeth prosthesis?

How would you feel if you find out you are kissing her/him with teeth prosthesis? would you ask her/him to remove while kissing or would you stop doing it at all? Or maybe you would try to accept it, in fact most of people soon or later get one. I don't mind that but i wonder how other people think about it. Please give me honest opinion, thank you

    Do you mean, dentures, partials and flippers? I wouldn't ask them to do anything. In fact, most people will not have to have any type of removable prosthesis. Advances in dentistry and dental care are helping to stop that.

    In our office the majority of "older" patients, (in their 50"s, 60's, 70's, and even 80's) have all of their own teeth. With proper care and regular dental check ups anyone can keep all of their teeth for the rest of their lives.

    As for bridges, you would not know if a person you were kissing had one, as they are permanent.

    To answer your question, I honestly have no idea as I have never kissed anyone with a prosthesis as they are so rare in people of my generation. (I'm 47)

    After seeing what I have seen as a dental staff member it makes it really hard to want to kiss anyone at all. Mouths are dirty. Too bad I didn't learn this earlier...

    A peck is fine, but tongue kissing--no way. I won't kiss my husband unless I know he's brushed his teeth. In the same respect, I won't kiss unless I brush my teeth either. Fair is fair, right?!

    As far as a prosthesis goes... Are we talking retainer, partial denture or full on denture? I have never even kissed someone with braces.

    Let's say my husband got dentures or something, I would make sure he kept it clean and if it got in the way like by flopping around or something be turned off. In the same regard though how would you kiss without teeth?

    Now that I think about it, I haven't really answered the question. I guess I am just a hypochondriac about clean and not the best person to offer an opinion. But that is my honest and very personal opinion. Take it for what it's worth and hopefully others have insight into this situation...
