One could from the beginning teach the child the expression “I think he has toothache” instead of “he has toothache” with the corresponding doubtful || uncertain tone of voice. This mode of expression could be described by saying that we can only believe that the owner has toothache.
     But why not in the child's own case? Because there the tone of voice is simply determined by nature.
