Have you ever wondered what your teeth are actually made of? Hint: they are NOT bones! Your teeth are covered in a super-strong biological crystal armor called enamel, and it is officially the hardest substance in your entire body! Join Mira and Finn on an amazing journey inside your mouth and across the wild animal kingdom. You will discover why great white sharks can lose up to 35,000 teeth in their lifetime (growing them back on a conveyor belt!), and how elephants grow massive molars that are as heavy as bowling balls!
Plus, we are traveling back in time to meet the very first dentist in Ancient Egypt and busting a huge myth about America's first president. Did you know George Washington's fake teeth were actually made of hippo ivory and cow teeth instead of wood?! Finally, find out the gross truth about what really happens when you eat too much sugar, and how brushing your teeth stops microscopic bacteria from melting your crystal armor with acid! Get ready to sink your teeth into the wildest and most mind-blowing facts about your smile!
