Cool experiments to do with milk teeth?

BennyInc@feddit.de to Asklemmy@lemmy.ml – 77 points –

Some kids in my family start losing their milk teeth. 🦷

While we don’t do the tooth fairy 🧚 stuff, I wondered whether there’s any cool kid-friendly experiments 🔬 to do with their deciduous teeth? Like dissolving them in easily available liquids to teach them the importance of brushing, or maybe some material strength tests to show how cool enamel is?

Hit me with some cool ideas, I‘ve got a few teeth to experiment with 😃

...milk teeth?

To clarify, I'm American, and always heard them called baby teeth 😅

That's what we call them in German. Milchzähne. I'm guessing because they develop while you're still drinking your mother's milk?

Do you have a deutschyy94 companion novelty account? Should snipe that, like nowzers

Aka baby teeth or primary teeth or deciduous teeth

in estonian the litteral translation is milk teeth and for the teeth in adulthood it's ice teeth

In france we call em dent de lait, milk teeth

When is milk stuff like de lait?

Edit: de lait vs du lait

What do you mean

I feel like I always see milk written as du lait, not de or is this like some subject/description basic thing I'm ignorant of

"Du" is used in the sense of "some" milk, while "de" is more "of" milk. Not sure it's the exact translation but that's how it's mapped in my French speaking ESL brain.

Is that not what you call them?

baby teeth: this will probably differ in what they are called by province / state / country

Lol, Americans are different. Everyone else in this thread calls them milk teeth, even in different languages haha!

Milk teeth is grossing me out. I am just imagining me pouring milk and teeth are mixed in with the milk.

Are you ok? Are you worried about a silicon condom + silicon lube type situation?

Milk teeth in Norwegian as well, "melketenner"
