What to Focus On

  • We have two sets of teeth: milk teeth and permanent teeth.
  • Milk teeth appear around 6 months of age.
  • There are 20 milk teeth in total.
  • Crown is the visible part of the tooth.
  • Enamel is the hard, shiny outer layer that protects the tooth.
  • Dentine lies under enamel and makes up most of the tooth.
  • There are four types of teeth: incisors, canines, premolars, and molars.
  • Incisors cut food.
  • Canines tear food.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Milk teeth are important because they help children chew food, speak clearly, and guide permanent teeth into the correct position.

Different teeth have different shapes and functions: incisors cut, canines tear, premolars crush, and molars grind food.

Tooth decay is caused by harmful bacteria that convert sugar into acid, which eats away at enamel.

Memory Tips
