How do I keep my teeth healthy?Brush them at least twice a day with toothpaste and change your tootbrush regularly. Visit the dentist for a check-up once every 6-9 months. If you don't want to go on your own, ask someone to go with you to keep you company. Dental treatment is free if you are under 18, aged 18 and in full-time education, are pregnant, or have had a baby in the 12 months before treatment starts If your teeth are a bit crooked it's worth putting up with a brace. Usually you won't have to wear it longer than about 18 months and think how great you'll look when it comes off Try not to eat too many sugary foods as they can cause teeth decay meaning you might need fillings or other dental treatment. If you don't take care of your teeth, cavities and unhealthy gums will make your mouth really sore, eating meals will be difficult and you won't feel like smiling. So take care of them and remember to visit the dentist if you think anything is wrong! |
