臼齒
The molars are the largest teeth in the mouth and are also very strong — there are four at the top and four at the bottom.
臼齒是口腔內較大的牙齒,同樣十分堅韌,分布于左右頰部后端,上下各四顆。
PROBLEMS: These are the most likely to need fillings because they are harder to reach when brushing; it’s a -problem for upper molars because salivary ducts in the cheek next to them produce saliva and this causes plaque to harden.
問題:位置靠內而難以清潔,所以臼齒是最需“補牙”的牙齒。而上臼齒十分接近臉頰兩側的唾液腺,因為十分容易導致牙菌斑的產生。
