Is it true that your butt is cleaner then your mouth?

Yes, it's often said that the butt is cleaner than the mouth due to the presence of fewer bacteria that can cause disease. The mouth has a diverse and abundant microbiome, containing various bacteria, some of which can lead to infections and cavities. In contrast, while the anal area does have bacteria, it is generally less exposed to external contaminants compared to the mouth. However, hygiene practices significantly influence cleanliness in both areas.
