| Unlike your heart and brain(脑子), your teeth weren’t there ready to work from the day you were born. Although(尽管) babies begin to grow their first tooth even before they are born, you can’t see babies’ teeth until they are about 6 or 7 months old. After that first tooth comes out, more and more teeth begin to appear(出现). Most kids have their first set(副)of teeth when they are 3years old. These are called baby teeth and there are 20 in all. When a child grows to 5 or 6 years old, these teeth start falling out, one by one. The baby teeth fall out because the permanent teeth(恒牙) grow and take the place of(取代) the baby teeth. By the age of 14, most kids have lost all of their baby teeth and have a full set of permanent teeth. There are 28 permanent teeth in all-eight more than the original(原来的) set of baby teeth. At about the age of 20, four more teeth called wisdom teeth(智齿)usually grow at the back of the mouth. And you have all your 32 teeth. |
