Cool experiments to do with milk teeth? (feddit.de)

Some kids in my family start losing their milk teeth. 🦷

While we don’t do the tooth fairy 🧚 stuff, I wondered whether there’s any cool kid-friendly experiments 🔬 to do with their deciduous teeth? Like dissolving them in easily available liquids to teach them the importance of brushing, or maybe some material strength tests to show how cool enamel is?

Hit me with some cool ideas, I‘ve got a few teeth to experiment with 😃

When is milk stuff like de lait?

Edit: de lait vs du lait

What do you mean

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I feel like I always see milk written as du lait, not de or is this like some subject/description basic thing I'm ignorant of

[–] folkrav@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

"Du" is used in the sense of "some" milk, while "de" is more "of" milk. Not sure it's the exact translation but that's how it's mapped in my French speaking ESL brain.

Yes, you got it aha. I passively knew that but it was un peu buried

I feel like 🥶 but yellow would have been a nicer touch given the Thread
