Mouth for Kids
Your mouth helps you eat, drink, talk, and taste yummy foods — like ice cream and pizza!
What’s Inside Your Mouth?
Your mouth has teeth (to chew), a tongue (to taste), and lips (to help you talk and smile).
Fun Facts About Mouths
- Your tongue has thousands of tiny taste buds — sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami.
- You swallow about 1,000 times a day — even while sleeping!
- Babies don’t have teeth when they’re born — they grow later.
- Your mouth makes saliva to help you digest food.
