Dentil

Okay kiddo, have you ever seen a house with a sloping roof and some decorations along the edge of the roof? Those decorations are called "dentils." Dentils are small blocks that look like teeth, and they are usually made out of wood or stone.

Do you know what an "eave" is? An eave is the part of the roof that hangs over the side of the house. Dentils are decorative blocks that are placed along the edge of the eave to give it a fancy design. They are kind of like little decorations that make a house look more elegant and pretty.

So, next time you see a house with little blocks along the edge of the roof, you can impress your friends by saying "Hey! Those are dentils, and they make the house look super cool!"
