Answer:

The four ways in which saliva is useful to us are:

Chemical digestion: breaks down starch by the function of “salivary amylase”

Helps chewing and swallowing

Lubricating effect: moisturizes the inside of the mouth and creates smoother speech

Solvent effect: dissolves food and allows the tongue to taste food

Cleaning effect: washes away food debris and bacteria remaining in the mouth

Antibacterial effect: Lysozyme, peroxidase and lactoferrin fight against pathogenic microorganisms

pH buffering effect: Prevents sudden changes in pH

Supplies minerals, including calcium and phosphorus, to teeth
