Teeth and teeth

They are found in both humans and animals! Most of them grow in the mouth, but they are also found on the tongue, in the esophagus, and even in the head. Has your imagination started working yet? Here's another hint: they are most often milky white, but they can be yellow, orange, and brown! And what bizarre shapes they can have: some look like spoons, others like sabers, and others even look like a grater. Can you guess what I'm talking about? Well, of course, about teeth!

In this book, we will look into a variety of mouths - dinosaurs, snails, whales! We will learn many incredible facts about the teeth of carnivores and herbivores - both extinct and living. What do shark and human teeth have in common? Whose teeth grow throughout their entire life? Who is able to drill concrete with their teeth, who can measure water temperature with their teeth, and who can even pretend to be toothless?

In the last (but certainly no less interesting) chapter, we will open our mouths and carefully examine our own teeth - there is much to marvel at! What determines their color? Why are different teeth of different shapes? Which part of the tooth is harder than a bullet? We will figure out how to preserve memory for many years and what teeth have to do with it. We will also get to know the invisible enemies of enamel and learn how to fight them. After all, molars, having replaced baby teeth, stay with us forever.
