Most kids have their first set of teeth by the time they are 3 years old known as milk
teeth.
An adult has a set of 28 permanent teeth and 4 wisdom teeth.
Incisors, canines, premolars and molars are different kinds of teeth.
The teeth are made up of two major parts – crown and root.
The digestive system helps to take our food from the mouth to the stomach and then
to all the parts of our body.

Enamel : The hard outer covering of our teeth
Plaque : Sticky stuff that can cause cavities or gum disease
Saliva : Liquid present in our mouth
