Teeth And Their Care
Teeth And Their Care.
We eat food daily? We put it into our mouth. Our teeth break it into small bits. Then we chew the food well. When we chew the food, Saliva (a digestive juice) mixes up with it. Then we swallow it .Digestion of food starts in the mouth. The teeth help us to break the food into bits and chew them. Our teeth help us to pronounce the works correctly when we speak. The natural shape and appearance of our face are due to the teeth in our mouth .thus the teeth are useful to us.
Kind Of Teeth.
A new born baby does not have teeth. They appear in its mouth when the baby is six to twelve months old. As the baby grows, more teeth appear. By the time the baby is two years old, it will be having twenty teeth in its mouth. These are called milk teeth. Mild teeth are not permanent. As the child grows older and older these drop out and new ,big, strong teeth come ort in her places. These are permanent teeth. There are thirty-two teeth in the mouth of a grown up man, sixteen in the upper jaw and sixteen in the lower jaw.

There are three kinds of teeth in a person’s mouth.Each kind has a special job:
1.Incisors (Cutting Teeth): Our front teeth act like scissors. These teeth are sharp and help us t cut the food into small pieces. There are 4 such cutting teeth in each jaw.
2. Canines (Tearing Teeth): On either side of the cutting teeth is a pointed tooth used for tearing and shredding food. These are four in numbers, two in each jaw.
3. Pre-molars and Molars (Grinding Teeth): The teeth at the back of the mouth help us to chew and grind the food well. They are strong. There are twenty grinding teeth, ten in each jaw.
TOOTH DECAY:- when we chew food small its of food get stuck in space between teeth. Bacteria act upon starch and sugar. An acid is produced on account of this action. Enamel—the white out covering of teeth—dissolves in the acid. tooth decay starts when enamel is dissolved.
The decayed parts slowly grows larger.
The inner parts get exposed to hot and cold substances and also to acids and sugar. Pus is also formed. The decayed tooth gives great pain.
When the tooth decays it gives off bad smell also because food particles in the decayed part begin to rot.
When you have decayed teeth, you are not able to chew the food properly. Indigestion and stomach troubles are caused. If there are decayed teeth, there will be harmful bacteria. These go along with the food into the body and cause diseases. When teeth are not cleaned properly, a substance called tartar is formed on the teeth. he teeth will have a bad appearance. The tartar will also push the gum away from the teeth.
