How to look after your teeth

1. How to look after your teeth By Kyle

2. To keep your mouth healthy you need to look after your teeth and gums. • To do this you must • Don’t eat sugary foods • Eat healthy instead of sugary foods • Brush your teeth twice a day • Use a fluoride toothpaste • Visit the dentist regularly

3. Taking care of your teeth can prevent decay. • Decay can be caused when you eat sugar. • Every time you eat sugar it leaves plaque which can cover your teeth when you don’t brush them. • If it stays on your teeth it can attack them making holes . • This makes the tooth hurt and tells your brain that it is painful. • If this happens you need to go to the dentist urgently. • They would put a filling in to stop it being painful.

4. If you d0n’t want to get holes in your teeth you should try not to eat sugary foods as snacks. • Instead eat healthy foods like • Fruit • Vegetables • Breadsticks • Crumpets • Milk • Water

5. If all children brushed their teeth from 1 years old they would have much healthier teeth. • You don’t want to lose your teeth and look like this
