What does a tooth look like ?

A tooth is made up of several layers. The hard outside layer which we see and softer inside layers. If the hard outside layer gets damaged, that's when teeth go bad and need treating.

How many teeth do we have ?

We are born without any teeth. Babies start to get their first teeth through at about 6 months old. These baby teeth last untill we are about 5 years old, when they start comming out and being replaced with adult teeth. This is a good time for the tooth fairy to come! We have 20 baby teeth and 32 adult teeth to look after which have usually all come through by the age of 11.

How should we look after our teeth ?

We need to clean our teeth properly twice every day. It's important not to use too much toothpaste and to change your tooth brush regularly. We need to visit athe dentist every 6 months for a check up,incase any work needs doing to our teeth.
