Saliva might seem like something we don’t pay much attention to, but it actually plays a huge role in keeping our mouths healthy. If you've ever wondered what saliva does, here’s a simple explanation!
What Does Saliva Do?
- Keeps your mouth moist: Saliva keeps the inside of your mouth wet, which helps you talk and swallow without feeling dry.
- Helps you chew and taste food: It makes food soft and easier to chew, and it helps you taste flavors better.
- Fights germs: Saliva has special tools, like proteins, that help protect your teeth and mouth from germs and bacteria.
- Helps with digestion: When you eat, saliva starts to break down food in your mouth, making it easier to digest.
- Protects your teeth: It has special minerals that help protect your teeth from getting damaged by acids or cavities.
- Repairs your teeth: If your teeth get small scratches, saliva helps fix them by adding minerals to fill them in.
So, saliva does a lot more than just help you talk! It helps keep your mouth healthy and your teeth strong.
