Baby teeth

/ˈbeɪbi tiθ/ noun

Definition

Your first set of small teeth that fall out when you're little to make room for bigger teeth.

Etymology

Baby means 'very young' and teeth comes from an old word for biting tools.

Kelly Says

Baby teeth are your very first special teeth that come to visit your mouth when you're tiny! When they get wiggly and fall out, it means your grown-up teeth are ready to move in like new friends.
