How can we keep our teeth healthy?

Firstly, we ought to visit the dentist at least twice a year. He can fill the small holes in our teeth before they destroy them. He can examine our teeth to check that they are growing in the right way. Unfortunately, many people wait until they have a toothache before they see the dentist.

Secondly, we should brush our teeth with a toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste at least twice a day once after getting up and once before going to bed. We can also use the dental floss 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 fruits. Chocolate, 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.
