The full answer
It's possible, though generally low risk
If a partner has recently eaten gluten-containing food and hasn’t brushed their teeth or rinsed their mouth, trace amounts could theoretically transfer through kissing — though the amount involved is typically very small.
A reasonable precaution, not a reason to worry constantly
For people who are highly sensitive, having a partner rinse their mouth or wait a bit after eating gluten can offer peace of mind, but this isn’t typically a major or common source of significant gluten exposure for most people.
Important context
