I de protɛkt di tit dɛn

Saliva de du big savis bak to wi tit. Kalsiɔm haydroksiapatayt we de na di salivadis kכmpawnd de mek di tit dεm nכ de lכs di kalsiכm (`(demineralization)`). Saliva de ɛp bak fɔ was di it dɛn we lɛf afta yu dɔn it.

Kip di pH na di mɔt balans

di saliva de εp fכ mek di pH (we de mכsu fכ asid/alkaliniti) insay wi mכt bitwin 6.0 εn 7.5. We wi it difrɛn kayn it dɛn, di pH valyu fɔ dɛn it dɛn de kin difrɛn. Saliva de ɛp fɔ mek di pH na di mɔt kam bak to di kɔrɛkt lɛvɛl afta dɛn dɔn swɛla di it.

I de ɛp fɔ mɛn di mɔt sos

If yu kɔt insay yu chɛst ɔ yu gɛt smɔl wund na yu mɔt, saliva kin ɛp am fɔ wɛl kwik kwik wan. dis na biכs sכm pan di protin dεm εn di tin dεm we de mek di saliva gro de εp fכ mek di tisu dεm bak εn mek di wund hεl kwik kwik wan .

I de ɛp fɔ test it

Fɔ mek dray it dɛn te, dɛn nid fɔ wet. Na da tɛm de nɔmɔ di teist bɔd dɛn we de na wi tɔŋ go ebul fɔ no di teist. Dis mɔstɔ na di saliva de gi am.

Yu nɔ tink se i wɔndaful aw di saliva kin du fɔ wi bɔdi? I kin tan lɛk se na smɔl tin, bɔt luk aw i de du!

Aw dis saliva kin mek? Usay i kɔmɔt?

Saliva de kɔmɔt, lɛk aw wi bin dɔn tɔk, bay di saliva gland dɛn we de na yu mɔt. dis gland dεm de mek saliva εn rilis am insay yu mכt tru sכm sכm chanεl dεm (dakt dεm).

Wi gɛt tri pe fɔ di men saliva gland dɛn:

• Parotid glands: Dɛn wan ya de bifo yu yes, nia yu chɛst. Dis na di big big saliva gland dɛm. di saliva we de kכmכt na dεn gland dεm ya de drεn insay yu mכt nia yu כp molar dεm.
