Digestion, respiratory tract, taste and speech
Our digestion begins in the oral cavity. The chewing muscles, teeth, salivary glands and tongue all play a role in this process. Food is chewed into small pieces and mixed with saliva and mucus. Our salivary glands produce about 1.5 liters of fluid a day. The carbohydrates in food begin digestion by means of the enzyme amylase already in the mouth.
The mouth is also part of the respiratory tract and plays an important role in the sense of taste and speech (tongue).
To properly close the oral cavity, we have transverse sphincter muscles, also called lips. These are part of mimic muscles: facial muscles that play a major role in mimicry.
Oral microbiome
Like our intestines, the mouth also houses different strains of bacteria. We also call this the oral microbiome. The health in our oral cavity affects our gut.
Construction of the teeth
The dentition is made up of teeth: incisors, canines, false molars (premolars), molars (molars) and wisdom teeth.
A tooth consists of a root, neck and crown. The root is anchored in the jaw. A tooth has one root and molars sometimes have as many as 4. The neck is that part covered by the gums. And the crown is the part that extends above the jaw.
Dentin is the dentin that the teeth are built with. Compared to bone tissue, dentin is more elastic and compact.
The part of our teeth that protrudes above the gums (the crown) is protected by tooth enamel also known as enamel.
The root canal is located in the tooth cavity of the crown. This is filled with dental marrow (dental pulp) and includes blood vessels and nerve branches.
