Why Do We Lose Baby Teeth One by One?Baby teeth loosen when adult teeth grow underneath and slowly push them out to make room.
1. At breakfast on a bright morning, Maya bit a crisp apple, and one front tooth wobbled.
2. She touched it with her tongue. It wobbled again, so Maya stopped chewing and held the apple in both hands.
3. Why was this tooth leaving first? Maya checked the others with one careful tap, but they stayed firm. She wanted to know what was happening under her gums.
4. Under the wiggly tooth, something was changing. A larger adult tooth was growing beneath it, tucked safely under the gum.
5. Little by little, the growing tooth pushed upward. The baby tooth's root slowly dissolved, so the tooth loosened.
6. The other adult teeth were growing on their own schedules. That was why Maya's teeth did not all wobble together. One by one, each baby tooth made room when its new tooth was ready.
7. That afternoon, while Maya smiled at her reflection, the loose tooth slipped into her palm. She blinked, then grinned at the little gap.
8. Maya placed the baby tooth in a tiny blue box. Then she brushed gently around the new gap and smiled at the space waiting for a new tooth.
9. Baby teeth loosen when adult teeth grow underneath and slowly push them out to make room.
