Limit the stickies and go for snacks that clean as they go — like crisp veggies and cheese.

* Kids usually start losing their baby teeth around age 6, but it can happen a little earlier or later—it’s all normal.
* The roots of baby teeth actually dissolve before the tooth falls out, thanks to special cells that break them down.
* Most people lose 20 baby teeth in total.
* Girls often lose their teeth a little earlier than boys.
* The first teeth to go are usually the bottom front teeth, followed by the top front ones.
* Even though they fall out, baby teeth are super important—they hold space for adult teeth and help with speech and eating.
* Sometimes kids swallow their loose tooth while eating… and don’t even notice 😅

Losing them too early can cause alignment issues later. That’s why keeping them healthy really matters!
