Baby Teeth: A Tooth Fairy Tale
Teeth
are the evolutionary adaptation that makes ripping apart raw celery so
laughably easy. Learn more about your very first set with Groupon’s
examination of baby teeth.
All over the world, folklore and
ceremony surround the loss of baby teeth—the 20 small teeth eventually
replaced by 32 permanent teeth. Baby teeth—also known as milk
teeth or deciduous teeth—become visible
between the ages of 6 months and 3 years, though they truly begin to
form during the embryonic stage of pregnancy. As a child ages, the tooth
buds that once held the baby teeth eventually give way to permanent
teeth, which are needed for proper development of speech and chewing of
food. This transition typically occurs between ages 6 and 12.
Because
the loss of baby teeth reflects the healthy growth of a human being,
several cultures have developed customs revolving around the departure
of deciduous teeth. In America, children leave their uprooted teeth
under a pillow, waiting for the tooth fairy to slip in and deposit money
in exchange for enamel. A similar figure is revered in Australia,
Sweden, and Norway, though children place their teeth in a glass of
water instead. In Korea, parts of India, Vietnam, and the Philippines, a
child throws any tooth lost from the lower jaw onto the roof of their
home and any tooth lost from their upper jaw directly into the floor.
This act is often accompanied by a wish to receive a valuable mouse
tooth in return, since mice’s teeth grow throughout their entire lives.
