Amazing facts about Saliva

Did you know this ?


 

  1. Without saliva, you would not be able to taste the wonderful flavors of food. Reason:- Saliva acts as a solvent as it dissolves food molecules in order for your taste buds to recognize flavor like the salt crisp of potato chips or the sweet taste of a chocolate bar.



  1. Saliva acts as a protective barrier for your teeth and gums. 

Reason:- The fluids from saliva lubricate your mouth and help to balance acidity in your mouth.


  1. Saliva is one of the first things to activate digestion. 

Reason:- Enzymes present in saliva help to break down starches and fats.


  1. Have you ever noticed that wounds in your mouth heal faster than anywhere else on your body?

Reason:-  That’s due to saliva! Saliva contains healing agents that can repair cuts, scrapes, and bruises in your mouth at a faster rate than anywhere else on your body.


  1. Saliva kills bacteria. Ever wonder why morning breath smells bad?

Reason:-  It’s due to low levels of saliva. Unfortunately, your body doesn’t produce as much saliva while you’re sleeping, therefore your saliva is not able to kill bacteria in the same way it does while you’re awake.
