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 😅

That's what we call them in German. Milchzähne. I'm guessing because they develop while you're still drinking your mother's milk?
