Tooth Fallout

Hannah’s turn to lose some teeth.

The tooth fairy has just recieved an exchange for one of her front teeth. The losing of milk teeth is a kind of measure of time passing and growing up. The tooth fairy has a good collection from us and, like tree rings, can be used to define time.

Why is it though, that we don’t go on getting new teeth as we get older? Would it not be a good move by ‘mother nature’ to provide our jaws with new teeth as we need them!
