AV9 – HSGH 2008 - 2009
of the tooth. This happens after germs and bits of food have collected there. Then the decay
slowly spreads inside the tooth. Eventually, poison goes into the blood, and we may feel quite ill.
How can we keep our teeth healthy? Firstly, we ought to visit our dentist twice a year. He can
fill the small holes in our teeth before they destroy the teeth. He can examine our teeth to check
that they are growing in the right way. Unfortunately, many people wait until they have
toothache before they see a dentist. Secondly, we should brush our teeth with a toothbrush and
fluoride toothpaste at least twice a day- once after breakfast and once before we go to bed. We
can also use wooden toothpicks to clean between our teeth after a meal. Thirdly, we should eat
food that is good for our teeth and our body: milk, cheese, fish, brown bread, potatoes, red rice,
raw vegetables and fresh fruit. Chocolates, sweets, biscuits and cakes are bad, especially when
we eat them between meals. They are harmful because they stick to our teeth and cause decay.
