Yes. There are billions of different bacteria living inside your mouth. About 100,000 per tooth and millions on your tongue. The only way to get rid of harmful bacteria is wash your mouth daily and brush your teeth 3 times a day. Many of the bacteria is harmful that lives in your mouth so be careful what you put inside it because then it could multiply!

Does a dog's mouth have more bacteria than a toilet seat?

Actually, yes. Some truly nasty bacteria such as streptococcus (the bacteria that causes strep throat, among other things) is one of many that can be found on toilet seats. A dog's mouth on the other hand, can house colonies of bacteria. Now, just to put that in perspective, the human mouth also houses colonies of bacteria but a dog's mouth has been shown to house significantly more colonies than those of a human. For more information on both bacteria found on toilet seats and bacteria found in a dog's mouth, see the related links.
