It's a physical action without toothpaste. Many toothpaste have inactive ingredients, and are only there to "taste good". Toothpaste with fluoride, baking soda, and other common dental ingredients will undergo small chemical changes when they come in contact with water (when baking soda in water come together it creates a chemical reaction). So in some respects it's both!
Teeth are involved in mechanical digestion. They physically break down food by crushing, grinding, and cutting it into smaller pieces, making it easier for enzymes in the digestive system to access and break down nutrients.
Yes, burning food is a physical change because it involves a change in the physical state of the food due to the application of heat. The chemical composition of the food may change, but it remains the same substance in a different form.
Teeth themselves do not cause a chemical reaction. However, when food comes into contact with teeth, the process of digestion begins with enzymes in saliva breaking down the food molecules into smaller components. This can be considered a chemical reaction in the context of digestion.
Grinding food is a physical change, not a chemical change. It involves breaking down the food into smaller pieces through mechanical force, without altering its chemical composition.
physical
It is physical. The tooth is broken into smaller pieces, but the pieces are still made of the same substances.
premolars
The teeth that are used for crushing are called molars. They are flat and broad, designed to grind and crush food into smaller pieces for easier digestion.
they become acidic and actually become a whole different shade due to the compounds in your saliva, the atoms in it also begin to separate due to your teeth when you chew :D:D Hope this helps Hai
chew
molars
No existing bird of any species has teeth. Birds have beaks.
All molars are teeth adapted for crushing and chewing food.
when your teeth grind food is it chemical or mechanical
the front teeth sre for ripping the food, the back teeth are for grinding the food
The larger back teeth are used for crushing and chewing things, which the narrower and sharper front teeth are for biting and cutting into food.
