Thanks to your 32\nteeth, you can bite into your favorite meal, speak flawlessly, and commemorate\na monumental occasion with a picture-perfect grin. However, how much do you\nreally know about your teeth? A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sdentalnj.com\/about.html\">dentist\nin Springfield<\/a> is sharing six surprising facts you may not know!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#1. Your\nTeeth Are Distinctively Yours<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve watched enough true crime shows, then you\u2019ve\nprobably seen your fair share of good guys using fingerprints and dental\nrecords to track down criminals. That is because your teeth are uniquely yours.\nIn fact, even identical twins don\u2019t have identical teeth! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#2. Only\nTwo-Thirds of Your Teeth Are Visible <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know that one-third of your teeth are hidden\nunderneath your gumline? That is why your dentist dedicates time during their\nexamination to ensure that your gums are pink, firm, and healthy. Otherwise,\nthe root of your teeth can be negatively impacted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#3. Enamel Is\nthe Hardest Substance in Your Body<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Enamel is the hard, outer layer of your teeth that\nprotects the dentin, cementum, and dental pulp. It is made of calcium and\nphosphate and is responsible for the white, shiny appearance of your smile. However,\nit is also the hardest substance in the body!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#4. Plaque Is\nYour Tooth\u2019s Nemesis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The white, sticky nature of plaque is one of the\nleading causes of tooth decay. Fortunately, a solid brushing and flossing\nroutine can remove it and prevent it from constantly growing. However, the most\neffective and thorough way to avoid it from turning into tartar is to visit\nyour dentist regularly for routine cleanings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#5. Your\nMouth Produces a Quart of Saliva Each Day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since your body creates it naturally, you probably\ndon\u2019t think twice about the amount of saliva you produce. However, a quart of\nsaliva each day is enough to fill two swimming pools throughout your lifetime!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#6. Teeth Are\nNot Bones<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps the biggest myth surrounding teeth is that\nthey are bones. Although they are white, hard, and made up of calcium, they are\ncomposed of three distinct layers. While they are scientifically viewed as a\npart of the skeletal system, they are not truly bones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From traits that make you unique to the substance that keeps\nyour teeth strong, now you know six additional facts about your teeth! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the\nAuthor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sdentalnj.com\/meet-the-dentist.html\">Dr. Aliana Henkin<\/a>\nearned her doctorate at Rutgers School of Dental Medicine, she completed\nnumerous advanced education courses on implantology, endodontics, dermal\nfillings, and CEREC (to name a few!).
