Each tooth is held in place by roots.
Roots sort of look like strings. Roots attach to
your jawbone at one end, and your tooth on the other.
They hold your baby tooth in place until your permanent
tooth starts to grown in. The permanent tooth dissolves
the root of the baby tooth.
"Dissolves" means the root starts to disappear.
As the root disappears, the baby tooth gets loose.
The tooth soon falls out.
Are babies
born with teeth?
Will my baby sister
ever get any teeth?
Mom says my baby brother is teething.
What's that?
How many teeth do I have?
Why do baby teeth fall
out?
