    The canines are the sharpest teeth
    The molars are the teeth which grind the food
    The oesophagus is a pipe in your body which help move the food from the mouth to the stomach
    Our teeth change by our teeth getting bigger and did you know when your at least 16 years old you will get your wisdom teeth.
    Our teeth produces saliva when we eat because when we are eating tasty food our mouth gets mouth watering and that is saliva
    Decay is the holes which preforms in our mouth.
    If you eat healthy food our teeth will get stronger and will be able to brace hard food down.
    Never eat unhea
