10 Interesting Facts about Teeth That You'd Enjoy Learning About

1. The enamel on the top surface on your tooth is the hardest part of your entire body.
2. Teeth start to form even before you are born—milk teeth or baby teeth start to form when the baby is in the womb, but they come through when the child is between 6-12 months old.
3. Humans use four different types of teeth (incisors, canine, premolars, and molars) to cut, tear and grind their food.
4. Humans have only two sets of teeth in their entire lifetime—baby teeth and permanent teeth. Once you have your permanent teeth, make sure you take good care of them.
5. No two people have the same set of teeth—your teeth are as unique as your fingerprint, so be proud of your unique set of teeth.
6. Your mouth produces over 25,000 quarts of saliva in a lifetime—that’s enough to fill two swimming pools. Saliva has many uses, including assisting you with your digestion and protects your teeth from bacteria in your mouth.
7. An average person spends 38.5 days brushing their teeth over their lifetime.
8. Many diseases are linked to your oral health, including heart disease, osteoporosis, and diabetes.
9. One third of your tooth is underneath your gums—that means only two thirds of your tooth’s length is visible.
10. If you get your tooth knocked out, put it in milk and hold it in your mouth—this will help your tooth to survive longer. Make sure you see a dentist right away.

In 1987, edible toothpastes were first made in US for the astronauts. These toothpastes are still available and used for kids. Kids don’t rinse their mouth properly after brushing and hence, edible toothpastes are best for them.

In medieval times, the ancient remedies were forgotten, and people didn’t clean their teeth. As a result, even royalty like Queen Elizabeth I ended up with black and rotting teeth. In 1824, a dentist named Peabody added soap to toothpaste for better cleaning. That was used until around 1945, when other ingredients replaced it – notably sodium lauryl sulphate, which makes a smoother paste. This is still a common toothpaste ingredient. In the early 1900s, fluorides were first added to the cleaners to prevent tooth decay.

Sweet potatoes digest really well for most people. Certain foods like Sweet Potato, beans, onions, and garlic are rich in polysaccharides which are relatively complex carbohydrates. They are the culprits which produces fart. Let’s face it; there is no better feeling than releasing a long-held fart and the actual act of farting might be embarrassing if you’re caught by the wrong person, but the relief of passing gas is worth it. Holding in gas can make you grumpy, uncomfortable, and snappish; reasonably, releasing boosts your mood considerably!
