"Why do babies not have any teeth when they're born"

Answered by AskBuni

Babies are born without teeth because their teeth are still growing under their gums! It's like they are hiding, getting ready to pop out when the time is right. This usually happens when they are about 6 months old, and it helps them start to eat soft foods. So, even though you can't see them, those tiny teeth are already there, just waiting for their big debut!
Fun fact: Some babies are actually born with one or two teeth already showing, but it's very rare!
Fun fact: The first teeth to appear are usually the bottom two front teeth, called incisors.
Buni asked:
If your teeth could talk, what do you think they would say to you?
A curious kid said:
"Goo goo gaga where I would say that when I'm a baby I'm a good girl"
Buni:
Goo goo gaga! I love that your teeth would talk like a baby! Maybe they'd giggle when you ate something super yummy, or they'd whisper secrets to each other while you're sleeping. And if they could talk from when you were a baby, maybe they'd remember when they were just hiding, getting ready to peek out under your gums!
