teeth


we are starting a new topic on teeth.

Your teeth is extremely inportant,we need our teeth to eat,talk and smile.

Brush your teeth well twice a day (after breakfast and last thing before going to bed).

Use a small toothbrush with soft bristles. Hard and medium bristled toothbrushes can damage teeth and gums.

Use fluoride (say flu-or-ide) toothpaste. From 6 years of age you can use adult toothpaste, but make sure you spit it out when you have finished cleaning your teeth. Children under 6 need to use a special children's toothpaste.

Gently and thoroughly brush each side of every tooth and the gums. It should take about 3 minutes to do them all.

Dental floss cleans between your teeth but should only be used if you have been shown how to floss at the dentist.

Once a week you could check your toothbrushing skills by rinsing with a liquid called Disclo-gel. This is a pink liquid that stains the plaque pink and makes it easier to see. Disclo-gel can be bought from a chemist. If your teeth are not totally clean, there will be a pink stain on a tooth. Brush that stain off and remember how you did it, so that you can add that to how you clean your teeth.
