LKS2 carried on learning about teeth this week by recapping the different types of human teeth and their roles in digestion.
We then looked at some x-rays, listened to some singing teeth and discovered how much is going on below the gum line – did you know that your adult teeth are waiting in your jawbone well before they come they come through?
We then all cleaned our teeth just as we would at home before using disclosing tablets to find out how much plaque was left behind. The results were impressive as far as teeth cleaning was concerned but quite alarming when it came to how purple our tongues were!
