Tooth Fairy Central

Taking care of your teeth and gums is important, not just for your oral health, but also for your overall health and wellbeing.

The earlier we can get your kids into a regular brushing and flossing regimen, the better off they’ll be.

Dentists aren’t scary – in fact, they can help kids learn that oral care can be a positive experience. Union Health is here to help too, with heaps of awesome resources to sink your teeth into (see what we did there?).

Wait, teeth fall out and then grow back??
When we’re little, most of us have our first set of baby teeth – sometimes called our milk teeth – by the time we’re three years old. We get 20 milk teeth, but they don’t stick around for too long. When we get to around five or six, they start to fall out.

Not to worry though, that’s what they’re meant to do! That’s so they can make way for our adult teeth – or permanent teeth – that have been sitting patiently high up in your gums, waiting for their moment to arrive, when they can push your baby teeth out of the way.

By the time we turn 12 or 13, most of us have lost all of those baby teeth, and we’ve got 30 new permanent teeth in their place. Then most of us grow another two bonus teeth, called wisdom teeth, at the back of our mouths between the ages of 17 and 25. Pretty weird, right?
