Answer

We need different types of tools to carry out different tasks.

The role of teeth in digestion is very important. Teeth help in breaking the food into smaller particles so that it becomes easy for digestive enzymes to act on them. Moreover, swallowing the food also becomes easier after the food is properly chewed. Improper tooth-care can lead to tooth decay in the long run. Once a tooth is gone, it cannot be replaced by the body. Artificial teeth are never as good as natural teeth. Once all the teeth are gone from a person's mouth, he will not be in a position to enjoy most of the food. This will result in diminished nutrition for the person. A person may get some nutritional supplement in liquid or semi-liquid form but the fact that he cannot enjoy many of the food, would be quite depressing for him.
