It looks small but the tongue is really extraordinary and has great stamina when used regularly for eating, talking, swallowing but never gets tired.

That's because the whole tongue is muscle. But the tongue is not the only muscle that is formed from 8 different muscle types, tightly coiled together to form a flexible matrix.

Along with strong bonding, the tongue also shows agility and flexibility when combined with lips and teeth to turn sounds from vocal strings into syllables and words.

The ability to speak fast, slow, standard or not depends much on the high flexibility of the tongue. In a minute, the tongue can produce more than 90 words.

  2. The second type is " irritation tears". It is the kind of tear that comes out when your eyes meet certain factors, such as when you are in the act, or have an eye problem. It helps soothe the pain, along with some biocides to help your eyes heal faster.
  3. Emotional tear - tears when we cry. This is the most mysterious kind of tears, because the experts so far have not really understood it.

Although it looks like a type, they are all different under a microscope.

We know that plaque always exists and adheres to the surface of teeth.

These are things that will appear when you eat and drink without brushing your teeth afterwards. Of course it is very dirty, even overflowing with bacteria.

Under the microscope, you will understand that plaque . is essentially bacteria, at a rate of up to 100%. It is an excess product of bacteria when consuming food on the teeth

The first few hours, they neutralize with saliva, then plaque becomes thicker and saliva cannot penetrate inside. Acid in plaque will begin to dissolve tooth enamel, causing our tooth decay.
