Teeth are important. Strong, healthy teeth help you chew foods that help you grow. They help you speak clearly. And, they help you look your best. Here are some advice for you to take care of your teeth.
● Brush your teeth the right way.
Brush your teeth at least twice a day after breakfast and before bedtime. If you can, brush after lunch or after sweet snacks（快餐）, too.
Brush all your teeth, not just the front ones. Spend time brushing teeth along the sides and back of your mouth. Brush away from your gums（齿龈）, too.
Spend at least three minutes each time you brush. Play a song you like to help pass the time.
Get a new toothbrush every three months. When you buy your tooth brush, be sure it has soft bristles（鬃毛）.
● Learn how to floss your teeth.
Flossing is a very important way to keep your teeth healthy. Food may hide in places where a toothbrush cannot get to, like the space between the teeth. Flossing can help get rid of it. Carefully move the floss between two teeth, up and down. You need to floss your teeth at least once a day.
