The topic of Matsumi Ladies Clinic Mita English blog in March is about the mouth.

In the last part, I create an article about the various precious roles of the mouth.

 

Without any doubt, our society has transformed into an image society.

Many people make massive efforts to obtain a beautiful look.

Whitening teeth and lip enhancements become very popular.

We are preoccupied with these trends and tend to forget our annual health check-ups, although beauty is achieved only when we are healthy.

Let’s think about the mouth.

 

What if we cannot open and shut the mouth?

The mouth plays a vital role in maintaining our body.

It is the entrance of our digestive system.

We cut and grind food to soften it with the teeth.

The tongue helps swallow it and enables us to taste the food.

Not only that, it also creates saliva to break it down and remove harmful bacteria that cause mouth disease.

 

Moreover, it helps to make our facial expressions.

When you are surprised, how do you react?

You may open your mouth, saying “really?”

Before taking a selfie, you probably find the best face, moving your mouth.

 

How about communication?

The voice is produced in the tongue, lips and jaws, and teeth.

If you don’t have any front teeth or lips, sounds like “p” or “b” cannot be pronounced correctly.

It means that you can not always get a message through to others.

 

Our mouth is amazing.

Be healthy with a bright smile!
