Oral HPV can be gotten from oral sex.

https://www.cdc.gov/cancer/hpv/basic_info/hpv_oropharyngeal.htm

Studies have found that about 7% of people in the United States have oral HPV, but only 1% of people have the type of oral HPV that is found in oropharyngeal cancers (HPV type 16). Oral HPV is about three times more common in men than in women.

There is no FDA approved test to tell if you have it except a biopsy of an oral wart. Oral sex is not safe and never was safe.

I do have oral HPV so it's not unheard of. My Dr. removes (from his patients) an oral papilloma about once per month. It's unknown how I got it but stress made it rear it's ugly head. It was removed and I am allowed to resume oral. During treatment he suggested it might be best to refrain while I was having an outbreak but other than that, don't worry.
My wife shows no sign on HPV.

Please stay calm.

Read what I wrote, it is so so so rare that even Drs tell you not to worry about it. Your daughter will not get HPV from touching tongues or from getting a kiss. It is only transmitted through oral sex.

And please trust me when I say it's rare

It is possible but it's so rare its not worth fretting over.

Drs have to say you cannot get it in your mouth because if they do it will cause people to panic when really, there have been so little cases of oral HPV it is not worth causing that panic
