A simple explanation about baby and adult teeth for young children to understand the transition from 20 baby teeth to 32 adult teeth.
Did you know that when you are little, you have special teeth called baby teeth? These are the first teeth that come in, and you have 20 baby teeth in total!
As you grow up and get older, something exciting happens! Your baby teeth start to fall out. This is normal and a part of growing up. When your baby teeth fall out, new teeth come in. These are called adult teeth.
When you become a big kid, you will have 32 adult teeth instead of just 20 baby teeth!
So, think of your teeth as little friends that help you eat yummy food, and as you grow, they change to help you grow even bigger and stronger!
It’s important to take care of all your teeth by brushing them and visiting the dentist!
