Dog licking is a bonding thing. It's one of the things that dogs use when establishing they heirarchy. I'd say it's better to let the dog lick the kids than not.

The kids care sometimes and sometimes they don't, but the problem is that the dog is many times more powerful than they are so it's up to the dog when to stop.
And I believe the idea that a dogs mouth is cleaner than ours is an old wives tale (more like different germs rather than less germs).
