I went with daddy to the dentist today. He had one wisdom tooth removed and he had a filling. We got to take his tooth home, it has a filling in it. Fillings are metal that fill up a hole in the tooth to stop it getting damaged by decay. Eating sugary foods can cause decay.

Not everyone has wisdom teeth. They don’t arrive with the normal adult teeth, instead they start coming through when the person is between the ages of 17-21.
