We do need to care our teeth. We only change our teeth once in our lives - at about six/seven years old. We get no more after that. How can we care our teeth? Yes, one way is by brushing them. When should our teeth be brushed? How often? We should brush them every day as the little poem says. We should brush our teeth after every meal. This should be at least three times a day, and each brushing should be for at least three minutes. Try to use fluoride toothpaste. It is especially important to brush them before you go to bed. (Can you tell why this is important?)

Brush the top teeth down and the bottom teeth up. Brush the insides and the outsides.

4. Which sentence gives the writer’s opinion?

A) These beetles are boring into the sterns and trunks of trees and entering the roots.

B) The farmers are unable to say when they will be able to replant their crops.

Brush the back and the front. Go around until you have covered the surface of every tooth. You should pay attention to the spaces between your teeth. Use a string called dental floss. It helps to remove the remains of food and plaque that get stuck between them.

You can prevent problems by eating fewer sugary snacks and drinks that contain sugar. Sugar helps to cause tooth decay or cavities. Eat, like the rabbit, crunchy foods that help to clean the teeth while you eat them. Can you name a few such foods? Call up a friend and compare your examples. It is such fun to work with friends.

Until next week, goodbye, Boys and Girls! and remember to do everything you can to be safe.
