The mouth is considered part of the digestive system, because it is the entry point for food going into your body. Additionally, digestion begins in the mouth. Saliva contains a enzyme called amylase that begins digesting carbohydrates before they enter your stomach. If you hold a piece of bread in your mouth for around a minute, it will begin to taste different -- this is the amylase at work.
