    Digestion and Oral Health

    • The initial stage of food digestion occurs in the mouth, where food is broken down by enzymes in saliva.
    • Maintaining clean and healthy teeth is important to prevent tooth decay and gum disease, allowing for proper chewing and digestion of food.

    Tooth Decay and Acid Production

    • Acid produced in the mouth by bacteria feeding on sugars and carbohydrates damages tooth enamel, leading to tooth decay.
    • The acid in the mouth lowers the pH, making the oral environment more acidic and increasing the risk of tooth decay.
