Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. How many deciduous or "baby" teeth does the average child have?

Answer: 20

Interesting that some children have extra baby teeth or are missing some baby teeth. Three of my four grandchildren have this problem!
2. How many teeth does the average adult have?

Answer: 32

It is very important to take good care of your adult teeth as these are all you get! It also nice to avoid all those dentist appointments for fillings!
3. What is the hard white covering of the teeth called?

Answer: Enamel

Keeping your enamel strong with brushing, flossing and regular dental check ups will help you avoid cavities and keep your winning smile.
4. If you run out of toothpaste, what could you use to clean your teeth?

Answer: Baking soda paste

Baking soda paste will clean your teeth nicely and give you fresh breath. The taste may not be to everyone's taste, though!
5. When you place a tooth under your pillow, who leaves you some money for the tooth?

Answer: The Tooth Fairy

I've often wondered what in the world the Tooth Fairy does with all those teeth!
Wonder if someone left a note if they would get an answer.
6. Having regular dental check-ups, brushing regularly and avoiding too much candy all help to keep teeth healthy. What is another important thing to do to keep teeth healthy?

Answer: Flossing

Flossing removes the food pushed down between your teeth. I especially enjoy the mint flavored floss.
7. Some people have crooked teeth. What might the dentist apply to teeth to help straighten them?

Answer: Braces

Wearing braces are not fun, but someday you will be glad when you see your beautiful smile.
8. Sometimes during a dental procedure the dentist will let a child breathe a gas from a mask to help him relax. What is this gas commonly called?

Answer: Laughing gas

The formal name for laughing gas is nitrous oxide. Laughing gas is a happier name.
9. If after a meal you are unable to brush your teeth, what is something else you can do to help clean your teeth?

Answer: Rinse your mouth with water

Rinsing your mouth with water will help wash away food particles.
10. How often should you brush your teeth every day as advised by the American Dental Association?

Answer: Twice a day

The American Dental Association advises twice a day. My mom made us brush after every meal and at bedtimes!
