On a day-to-day basis, you probably rarely (if ever) think about how incredible your teeth are. However, they play a vital role in the digestive process, your speech, and, of course, your beautiful smile. But how much do you really know about them? Read on for six interesting facts about your teeth from a dentist in Dublin!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#1. Your Teeth Are Distinctive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve watched any true crime shows, then you know that teeth are like thumbprints: each person has a unique set. In fact, even identical twins don\u2019t have the same set of pearly whites!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2. One-Third of Your Tooth Is Underneath Your Gums<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Did you know only two-thirds of your teeth are visible? The rest is tucked away underneath your gums to protect it from getting damaged and to securely hold your teeth in place!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3. Enamel Is the Hardest Substance in the Human Body<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To protect the inner layers of your teeth, each tooth is covered in enamel, which is the hardest substance found in the human body! However, it is not indestructible. After repeated exposure to powerful acids, like the ones that form after eating sugar, it can erode and leave your teeth vulnerable to decay. Therefore, make sure to implement a solid oral care regimen and visit your dentist for a professional cleaning biannually!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4. They Aren\u2019t Bones!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Despite popular belief, teeth are not bones! Although they are white, hard, and a part of the skeletal structure, each tooth is made up of three layers: the enamel, the dentin, and the pulp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5. Cheese Can Protect Your Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cheese is a food that is equally delicious and nutritious. Not only can a slice of cheese give your teeth the calcium it needs, but it can also provide them with a protective coating and increase saliva production. So, it is a cavity-fighting snack as well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#6. There Are Four Different Types of Teeth in Your Mouth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Generally, each tooth in your mouth is lumped together into one category. However, you have four different types of teeth: incisors, canine, premolars, and molars. Each serves an important role in breaking down your food and starting the digestion process!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now you know a little more about the body part that is vital to your smile, bite, and speech! To ensure they remain in pristine condition for years to come, make sure to brush them daily, floss regularly, and visit your dentist twice a year for biannual checkups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
