Tooth by Tooth: Comparing Fangs, Tusks, and Chompers
For Bela and Sophie S L For everyone with teeth T S S
OPEN WIDE Look at all those chompers in there Did you know your teeth are unusual It’s true That’s because you’re a mammal Lots of animals have teeth but mammal teeth come in different shapes and sizes Mammals have three kinds of teeth Take a look in a mirror and see if you can find them in your own mouth
Do you see the flat teeth in front Those are your incisors If you haven’t lost any recently you should have four on top and four on the bottom How many do you have
Next to your incisors are sharp pointy teeth They’re called canine teeth and you have four of them in there unless the tooth fairy visited not too long ago
