Yes they are cleaner than humans. Humans have alot of bacteria in their mouth, however, dogs has good bacteria in their mouths which also help me clean themselves. I believe it is also true that if you have a cut, if a dog licks it then it is good for it... but it depends if you want to, I think we all know where a dog's mouth has been.

I can't get my tongue into the nooks and crannies that a dog can. So why would a mutt have a cleaner gob. I've never eaten an intestinal worm for fun. I've seen a dog do that.
This is just something a dog owner would say to make you feel alright about their mutt licking your face.

Well, yes and no.
It is true that Dog saliva has better quality preventing bacteria to grow.
On the other hand I would not call a dog mouth clean seeing where some dogs put it.

A dogs mouth "recycles" faster than a human mouth so yes it is cleaner. Hard to believe after catching them licking their butts... but true according to the vet.

Given what a dog eats, I find that unlikely. However perhaps this is a range of germs issue, in which case it may be possible that the human mouth has a wider range of baceria in it.

Absolutely not! Have you ever spent the day with a dog? I've seen where they put their mouths, and they aren't clean places!

Apparently humans have more germs in their mouths than dogs, which seems a little unfair when dogs eat poo. I don't eat poo, why am I dirtier than a dog?

Yes, I believe it to be true. But by cleaner, I also think it is meant less germs.

well in some ways it is, others it is not. (it is a play on words). how they define 'clean' is not how you would think of it... you get what im sayin? =P
its just like saying a toilet seat is cleaner than the kitchen (thats another common one!)

No.The germs in the mouth are just species specific.
