    Which of the following is not used in cleaning the mouth? 

    • Toothpaste

    • Dentile file

    • Tongue scrapers

    • Ash

    Correct Answer

Toothpaste is specifically designed to clean teeth, remove plaque, and freshen breath. Dentile files are used to remove stains or plaque from teeth. Tongue scrapers are used to clean the tongue and remove bacteria and debris. However, ash does not have any known cleaning properties for the mouth and is not a standard or recommended oral hygiene practice.

    • Phosphorus

    • Calcium

    Correct Answer
    A. Calcium
    Explanation
    Calcium is the most important mineral present in teeth because it plays a crucial role in the formation and maintenance of strong and healthy teeth. Calcium is a key component of tooth enamel, the outer protective layer of the teeth, and helps to strengthen and mineralize it. It also helps in the development of the jawbone, which supports the teeth. Additionally, calcium is essential for proper nerve function and muscle contraction, including the muscles involved in chewing. Therefore, a sufficient intake of calcium is necessary for maintaining optimal dental health.

    The buccal cavity refers to the mouth, specifically the area between the cheeks and gums. The tongue, tonsils, and teeth are all located within the buccal cavity. However, the esophagus is not located in the buccal cavity.

    Explanation
    Permanent dentition refers to the set of teeth that replace the primary (baby) teeth. In the permanent dentition, there are a total of 32 teeth, including 8 premolars. Premolars are the teeth located between the canines and molars, and they play an important role in chewing and grinding food. Therefore, the correct answer is 8 premolars.

    Canine teeth are used for tearing because they have long, sharp, and pointed edges. These teeth are designed to grasp and hold onto prey, allowing animals to tear through flesh and tough materials. They are particularly useful for carnivorous animals that need to tear apart their food before consuming it. Canine teeth are typically found in the front of the mouth, on both the upper and lower jaws.

    Which of these is indispensable when cleaning the teeth?  - ProProfs

    Which of these is indispensable when cleaning the teeth? 

    • Brush

    • Water

    • Toothpaste

    • Sodium Peborate

    Correct Answer
    A. Brush
    Explanation
    A brush is indispensable when cleaning the teeth because it helps remove plaque, food particles, and bacteria from the surface of the teeth. Brushing with a toothbrush helps to physically scrub the teeth and gums, promoting good oral hygiene and preventing tooth decay and gum disease. Water and toothpaste are also commonly used during toothbrushing, but the brush itself is the essential tool for effective cleaning. Sodium Peborate is not a commonly used substance for oral hygiene and is not necessary for cleaning the teeth.
