Oral health: What's behind your mouth

Your mouth is one of the best multitaskers in your body. You use it to speak, eat, taste, kiss and smile, for instance. The key to keeping everything working well is good oral health. Having healthy teeth and gums isn't a given, though. Both children and adults must put some effort into it every day to prevent tooth decay and other oral health problems. Get started on the path toward good oral health by learning what's behind your smile — your teeth, gums, tongue and salivary glands.
