Inside your mouth, you have teeth to chew food into tiny pieces, making it easier to swallow.
Your tongue helps you taste delicious flavors like sweet, salty, and sour. The tongue also moves food around when you chew and helps you speak clearly. Saliva, or spit, in your mouth keeps everything moist and helps break down food.
Taking care of your mouth is very important. Brushing your teeth twice a day, flossing, and visiting the dentist help keep your mouth healthy. A healthy mouth keeps your whole body happy!
