Usually a bit can mean the horse is not well behaved and needs a firm tug to the mouth.The bit does not hurt the horse unless the horse resists what the rider wants.For example: If the rider wants the horse to halt and the horse shakes it head and keeps walking the rider will have to pull on the bit until it hurts the horses mouth.This will only happen about 2 times and the horse will then understand that disobedience only causes the horse pain.
Yes, most of the bits go into the mouths of horses. There are sorts of bits that don't, such as an "s-curve" bridle which only is securely fastened around the upper nose area. The bits that do go into the mouth don't touch the teeth, you simply open the mouth and place the bit in the back of its mouth behind the back teeth. There are various forms of bridles and even more forms of bits depending on the horse's preference.
A bit is metal bar that is on the bottom of the bridle. This fits inside the horses mouth, behind the teeth, where there is a gap.

keep the bridle in ONE of your hands.w/that hand rest your arm between your horses two ears and your horse will put its head down. then hold your bit in your other hand under the horses lips, tickling the back of the horses mouth w/your thumb.your horse should open its mouth so you can gently place the bit where it belongs. hope this helps!
Standing on the left side of the horse, put your left hand on the bit and your right hand between the horses ears on the crown piece. Put the bit to the horses mouth and use the command the horse knows. When the horse accepts the bit slide it into the mouth. Pull the top of the bride over the horses ears. If you have a bridle with sliders, make sure they are not in the horses eyes. Then buckle the throughout latch and any other buckles you have. Tip: If the horse it resisting the bit, slide your finger in his mouth (not behind the teeth) and in the near back of his mouth you will find a space with no teeth. Push down on the gum, it will force the horse to open it's mouth, then you can slide the bit in quickly.
