The tongue is amazing because it can make new cells faster than many other parts of our body. Cells are like tiny building blocks that make up everything in our body, including our tongue!

2. What Happens When We Get Hurt?

When we accidentally bite our tongue or hurt it in some way, our body starts working right away. It sends special helpers to the hurt area to start fixing it. These helpers are the new cells that our tongue makes.

4. Keep It Healthy!

To help our tongue stay healthy and heal quickly, it’s important to drink plenty of water and eat good foods. This gives our body all the stuff it needs to make those new cells!
