Assuming there are no other symptoms, such as bleeding, tenderness and pain, it sounds like thrush. Thrush is basically a yeast infection in your mouth.
You can first keep it controlled by staying away from sugary foods. Secondly, make sure you keep up on hygiene; brush throroughly (making sure to rinse your toothbrush VERY well after each use), use mouthwash, and floss regularly.
Additionally, if it's not a severe case, you can try to treat it yourself by eating some yogurt once or twice a day for about a week... but make sure the yogurt contains active cultures, like 'acidopphilus'. If you're not a fan of yogurt, you can actually get acidophillus pills at you local pharmacy or GNC, and follow the instructions on the label.
"Lacto-bacilli" is a pill you could also use.
If it persists... I'd see a doctor.
Oh... and no kissing with the symptoms.
