tooth chart at right.

• Incisors—The teeth at the front of your mouth are
called incisors. They have sharp edges to help you
bite into food, like a pear.

• Canines—The really pointy teeth on either side of
your incisors are called canines and they help to tear
off food into bites, like meat.

• Molars—At the back, are your molar teeth. These big,
bumpy teeth help you chew food before swallowing it.
Baby Teeth On Board
Some people think that cavities
in baby teeth don’t matter,
because they’ll be lost
anyway. But that’s not
true.
Dental decay in baby teeth
can negatively affect
permanent teeth and
lead to future dental
problems.

Nothing But the Tooth
Teeth stay in the mouth because, like trees, they

have roots that hold them in our jaws. Tooth roots 10 + 4 =
are usually long and smooth. Front teeth usually 18 + 3 =

have only one root. Back teeth can have as many

as three.

People get two sets of teeth
because as you grow, your
mouth gets bigger.
People only have two sets
of teeth, so we have to do
our best to look after them
by brushing twice a day
with toothpaste and
avoiding sweet drinks
and snacks.

A Great Smile Starts with Healthy Teeth
Healthy teeth give you a great smile and prevent painful problems. Use this chart to keep track of your
brushing this week.
1. Find a brushing buddy at home.
2. Ask your buddy to color a sun in the correct box each time you brush your
teeth in the morning and a moon each night. Can you earn both each day?
Note to Parents: An adult should brush and floss a child’s teeth until he or she is at least 6 years old. By age 6 or 7, children should be able to brush their own teeth twice a day with
adult supervision. Brush your own teeth with your children. Practice flossing together and stay healthy as a family!
