Skeleton
Looks like
The small, narrow, chisel-edged front tooth right next to the midline in the lower jaw.
What it does
Cuts food and helps shape sounds; usually the first permanent tooth to appear, around age 6–7.
Keeping it well
Tartar builds up behind it first, near the salivary duct openings; regular cleaning prevents gum disease here.
