Digestion starts with your chomping teeth!

Your bright white teeth are your body's hardest substance. They cut and tear foods into smaller pieces so you can swallow it. Can you imagine trying to swallow a big bite of pizza without chewing it? Ouch!

While your teeth are chomping the crust, cheese, sauce, and toppings of your pizza, your tongue is pushing the food around your mouth to form a bolus.

Teeth play a very important role in digestion. This is why it is so important to take care of your biters!

Would you still be able to digest food if you had no teeth? How?
