An easy-to-understand guide for kids about baby teeth falling out and being replaced by permanent teeth, perfect for 4-year-olds.
Hi there, little friend! Did you know that when you smile, you have two special kinds of teeth? Let’s talk about them!
First, there are baby teeth. These are the small teeth that come in when you’re a baby. You usually start getting them when you are very young. Can you think of the last time you saw a tiny tooth? That's a baby tooth!
Guess what? You have 20 baby teeth altogether! They help you chew your food and speak. But they don’t last forever!
As you grow up, when you are around 6 years old, your baby teeth start to fall out. Sometimes they fall out by themselves, and sometimes you might give them a little wiggle! It's okay, it’s a natural part of growing up!
After your baby teeth fall out, you will get new, bigger teeth called permanent teeth. You will have 32 of these! That's a lot of teeth!
Permanent teeth help us eat, speak, and have a bright smile every day. They will stay with you for a long time, so it's very important to take care of them. Brushing your teeth and visiting the dentist helps keep your teeth healthy!
So remember, your 20 baby teeth will fall out to make room for your 32 permanent teeth. Growing up is fun, and taking care of your teeth will help you have a great smile forever!
