What is a Food Bolus? A food bolus is a small, round mass of food that is formed in the mouth during the early phase of digestion. A food bolus is formed when a piece of food is chewed, lubricated with saliva, mixed with enzymes and formed into a soft, lubricated and cohesive mass. The bolus is held in the mouth, or oral cavity, until the process of swallowing begins.
Plaque consists of millions of germs or bacteria in a sticky layer that is constantly attached to the teeth. This sticky layer, usually a pale yellow, is made from the food particles leftover that mix in your mouth with salvia and produce the substance that adhere to the tooths smooth surface. How plaque is formed? Plaque forms as a result of chemical reactions that take place in your mouth. In order to create plaque, your mouth needs bacteria, carbohydrates, food particles, and saliva. Carbohydrates are found in most foods â even healthy foods like fruits and vegetables. Foods with higher sugar content have more carbohydrates in them, so if you eat a lot of candy and cookies you are more likely to form plaque.
