Monday: Hello, teeth

Rocket crunches an apple. Crunch!

"My teeth are tools!" he says.

Raven asks, "What do you notice about their shapes?"

Nova hints, "Front and back teeth do different jobs."

Teeth have jobs

Teeth help you chew food.

Teeth also help you talk!

Your front teeth are flat and thin.

Front teeth cut and bite food.

Your back teeth are wide and bumpy.

Back teeth grind and mash food.

Baby teeth and grown-up teeth

Most kids have 20 baby teeth.

Around age 5 or 6, baby teeth start falling out.

New grown-up teeth push up to take their place.

A full grown-up set has 32 teeth.

The outside of a tooth is called enamel.

Enamel is very hard and often shiny.
