Some kids in my family start losing their milk teeth. 🦷
While we don’t do the tooth fairy 🧚 stuff, I wondered whether there’s any cool kid-friendly experiments 🔬 to do with their deciduous teeth? Like dissolving them in easily available liquids to teach them the importance of brushing, or maybe some material strength tests to show how cool enamel is?
Hit me with some cool ideas, I‘ve got a few teeth to experiment with 😃
…milk teeth?
To clarify, I’m American, and always heard them called baby teeth 😅
Aka baby teeth or primary teeth or deciduous teeth
My teeth are perennials.
Watch ur mouth, boy
Deciduous teeth! xD
Ope, jinx. Just adding that to my comment when you commented. 🍻
Mmm, xye-li-tol aaaarghh
That’s what we call them in German. Milchzähne. I’m guessing because they develop while you’re still drinking your mother’s milk?
Do you have a deutschyy94 companion novelty account? Should snipe that, like nowzers
In france we call em dent de lait, milk teeth
When is milk stuff like de lait?
Edit:
delait vsdulaitWhat do you mean
I feel like I always see milk written as du lait, not de or is this like some subject/description basic thing I’m ignorant of
“Du” is used in the sense of “some” milk, while “de” is more “of” milk. Not sure it’s the exact translation but that’s how it’s mapped in my French speaking ESL brain.
Yes, you got it aha. I passively knew that but it was un peu buried
There’s also au, like in café au lait 😁
Olé 🇪🇸🤠
I feel like 🥶 but yellow would have been a nicer touch given the Thread
Same in Spanish, dientes de leche
in estonian the litteral translation is milk teeth and for the teeth in adulthood it’s ice teeth
Not ice teeth, ‘jäävhambad’ means permanent teeth. The root word ‘jääma’, meaning to stay
i guess as a child i always heard it as jäähambad
In Finnish adult teeth are called literally iron teeth.
Is that not what you call them?
baby teeth: this will probably differ in what they are called by province / state / country
Lol, Americans are different. Everyone else in this thread calls them milk teeth, even in different languages haha!
Milk teeth is grossing me out. I am just imagining me pouring milk and teeth are mixed in with the milk.
Like extra crunchy breakfast cereal.
Are you ok? Are you worried about a silicon condom + silicon lube type situation?
It’s like our egg tooth but for humans, it’s their first set of teeth. They aren’t breaking out of their eggs though, lazy mammals.
Oh BABY teeth!
Its what you use to eat milksteak 🙄
Milk teeth in Norwegian as well, “melketenner”
