3. Please help yourself to some chewing gum and enjoy some mastication.
Key Word Alert!
Mastication
Mastication is the first stage in digestions when food is broken down and crushed by teeth in the mouth. (Mastication  Chewing)

Please help yourself to some chewing gum and enjoy some mastication.

4. Name that Tooth! Learning Activity
Try and match each description with the correct name of the tooth.
These teeth are found at the front of your mouth and are used to cut your food, allowing you to take small bites.
These teeth also grind at your food and are found right at the back of your mouth.
These teeth are flat and large. They grind at your food making the food smaller and condensed.
