Hello, welcome to the Fun Kids Science Weekly.

This is the podcast that promises to uncover all the real secrets that are lurking out there in the universe.

My name's Dan. Thanks for coming along for the adventure.

This week, we'll talk about the largest spider in the world.

We've also got one of the best science news stories ever, I promise. Right, listen up in it. It's got

a sea creatures, snot houses, and a trip to Mars, and how they help each other. That's in one

story. It's on the way a little bit later, and your questions need answering as always. Today,

they're on plants, throats, and noses. That's coming up next on the Fun Kid Science Weekly first.

Let's dive into it with one of our favorite geniuses.

This is Professor Hallux.

Professor Hallex's Digital Dental Depository, with support from Philip Sonic Hair.

To honour great uncle halitosis, dentist extraordinaire, on the occasion of his 100th birthday,

Professor Hallex is creating a pop-up digital dental depository, an oral health help desk.

He's going to see how many questions all about teeth he can answer against the clock.

It's a super sweet set of sizzlers today, Nanobot.

All about sugar. Wind it up and let it go.

First question. How does sugar harm our teeth?

It's not the sugar itself that causes damage to teeth. It's the acid the

bacteria creates when it consumes the sugar. Sugar is a source of food and energy to bacteria,

you see. And as they break it down, acids are produced. This acid breaks through the enamel

on your teeth, creating tiny holes which can cause your teeth to be sensitive to both

hot and cold temperatures. Over time, those tiny holes can get bigger and bigger until they form
