Strong and healthy teeth help us chew the right food to grow. They also help us speak clearly and look our best. 我们必须照顾好我们的牙齿。What should we do to protect our teeth?
First, we should brush them at least twice a day—after breakfast and before bedtime. We should brush all of our teeth, not just the front ones. We should spend at least 3 minutes each time brushing teeth.
一年看两次牙医也很重要。Besides checking for disease, the dentist will help keep our teeth extra clean.
We also need to be careful about what we eat and drink. Remember to eat more vegetables and fruit and drink more water. Of course, don’t forget to smile!
