Teeth: baby teeth, grown-up teeth and wobbly teeth, sentence 2
When a grown-up tooth starts to push up, it dissolves the root of the baby tooth above it, so the baby tooth wobbles and falls out with hardly any root left, and that is why it barely hurts.
Who acts: grown tooth, jaw, baby tooth, that · What happens: grow up, start, push up, dissolve, wobble, fall out · To what, where: root
