DENTAL HEALTH
Saliva is a very important fac
tor in the natural defenses of the
body against dental decay. It au
tomatically helps clean the teeth
and mouth. A normal flow of sa
liva is essential to the health of
the month, and some authorities
state that in cases of “dry mouth”
the teeth are more liable to decay.
Saliva is the first of the diges
tive fluids with which the food
comes in contact. It is made up of
*about 94 per cent water, the other
important elements being ptyalin
and mucin. Saliva also contains al
bumin and a variety of salts.
Ptyalin acts as a digestive fer
ment, converting the starch in
foods into sugar. This is the first
of the digestive processes. Slow
and thorough chewing of the food
is necessary to allow this digestive
process to take place.
An important function of saliva
is to moisten the food, softening it
so that it is easily swallowed. The
clement which causes this lubri
cation, without which swallowing
of food would be very difficult, is
called mucin.
Three sets of glands supply sa
liva. They are called the salivary
glands. The two large ones,
called parotid glands, are situated
in the cheeks, just in front of the
ears, one on each side. Each has
an opening on the inside of the
cheek opposite the upper second
permanent molars.
Two other glands, the submax
illary, are located on the inside of
the lower jaw, just below the floor
of the mouth. Under the tongue
are the sublingual glands, com
pleting the set of three.
When food that is tasty is taken
into the mouth, the saliva flow is
increased, and food should be
chosen with this end in view. Food
should be palatable as well as nu
tritive, as its palatibility helps to
keep the saliva functioning nor
mally.
The Territorial department of
health or your local dentist will be
glad to answer any questions re
lating to this article.
