Each February, the American Dental Association (ADA) sponsors National Children’s Dental Health Month to raise awareness about the importance of oral health.Developing good habits at an early age and scheduling regular dental visits helps children get a good start on a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums. This year’s theme is “Rock Your Smile.”
Here are some quick and helpful tips to keep your teeth nice and healthy!
And if you want to see Buddy learning about his teeth, please tune into Dinosaur Train on March 1 on PBS KIDS to watch the “T-Rex Teeth” episode (check your local listings) and visit LINK TO INTERSTITIAL to watch Dr. Scott, the host of Dinosaur Train, tell us all about the teeth of the Tyrannosaurus and other carnivores, like sharks. Both sharks and Tyrannosaurus’ lose their teeth, but those teeth are always replaced by new teeth. Humans only get two sets of teeth, so it’s important to take good care of them!
Trex Teeth
When Buddy loses a tooth, Mom takes him to Rexville to ask his Tyrannosaurus friends all about T. rex teeth. They explain that he’ll grow new teeth to replace the old ones.
Fun Fact
T. rex’s teeth were the size and shape of big bananas! By carefully observing the shape of a dinosaur’s teeth, you can make predictions about what that dinosaur probably ate, which in this case is meat.
