Mouth

Mouth:
Digestion of food starts from the mouth, called ‘Oral Cavity’. There are many other parts present inside the mouth that help in the digestion of food i.e. tongue, teeth, salivary glands, etc. First of all, teeth cut the foods in to smaller pieces, and then saliva, secreted by the salivary gland, is mixed with these small pieces of food to make them soften. After that, our tongue and other helpful muscles push the food into food pipe. 
Teeth:

There are 32 small teeth are found in the mouth. Each tooth is made of a bone-like substance called 'dentin'.  Teeth covered in a layer of enamel—the hardest substance in the body. The teeth are designed for cutting and grinding food into smaller pieces.
