Why our tongue is surrounded by thirty two teeth ?
I think it is because God knows we are unable to control our tongue, so God made a cage for tongue.

Lol..that maybe the reasons so also teeth and mouth could not be separate they both help us in eating food to maximize them so nothing fall in between except if one have tooth or missing teeth.

Thats funny. The gods made a cage for our teeth so it doesn't wag so much! I actually got my tongue pierced with a barbell to remind me not to speak before I think, because if my tongue "wags" around in my mouth too fast the barbell hits my teeth and it doesn't feel so good lol. So yes. Think before you speak, your tongue is already caged.

It is so we can eat. We need that many to be able to bite and chew the varity of food that we as omivores eat. Also, some redundancy is there in case of loss. Some of us in effect only have 28 since the four wisdom teeth are totally impacted, beneath the gums, and sometimes partly beneath other teeth. This is the case for me.

interesting, and very creative theory you have there. At any rate, it's not a very good cage, because I've bitten my tongue on more than one occasion. It wasn't trying to escape or anything,. I was eating, and it was moving food around in my mouth, tasting it and such.
My teeth may have overstepped they bounds.
