Did you know these fast facts about the human mouth…

We have four basic tastes. The salt and sweet taste buds are at the tip of the tongue, bitter at the base, and sour along the sides.

Not all our taste buds are on our tongue; about 10% are on the palette and the cheeks.

Unless food is mixed with saliva you cannot taste it.

Your mouth produces 1 litre (1.8 pints) of saliva a day.

(It’s no wonder the dentist is so scary)
