It decreases the level of acid
Explanation
A kiss a day keeps the dentist away. Kissing increases the mouth's production of spit, which cleans the teeth, prevents the production of plaque and decreases the acid levels, which in turn breaks down enamel. Even the anticipation of a kiss increases the spit levels and gives the mouth a quick 'shower'. So, in conclusion, it is good for your teeth to kiss a lot!
