Components in saliva that help protect us from microorganisms: 1. IgA antibodies; 2. Lysozyme (a bacteriostatic enzyme that inhibits bacterial growth in the mouth); 3. A cyanide compound; 4. Defensins
Saliva is an enzyme-containing fluid in the mouth. It starts the process of chemical digestion in the mouth, and is the first set of digestive chemicals with which the food you eat comes into contact.
The fluid in your mouth contains an enzyme called amylase, which helps to break down carbohydrates into simpler sugars during the process of digestion.
There is no hormone that is secreted from the mouth. However, there is an enzyme amylase that is part of the digestive system.
It is the saliva produced by the mouth which starts to break down the food. The technical term for the enzyme is salivary amylase.
Saliva contains lysozyme, which is an antibacterial enzyme that helps protect the mouth from bacterial infections.

Cleaning your bad mouth is good example of science, in-fact Microbiology. Due to the growth of bacterial.
Salivary amylase is produced in the mouth so that it can digest carbohydrate

Sound significantly slows bacterial growth. In an experiment conducted in my college biology class, 6 dishes full of nutrient agar (bacteria food) were swabbed with bacteria from a students mouth and then closed and left to grow with music playing next to it. The bacteria that had music grew much, much less bacteria in the allotted time.
amylase
No, foaming out of the mouth are signs of a bacterial infection.
