Oral Hygiene

On Wednesday a dentist from oral hygiene came to Te ngahere to talk to us about why it is important to brush our teeth and why we should look after them. She also talked to us about bacteria like that some of them could be bad and good, when and how long we should brush our teeth which is 2 minutes each time and every morning and night is when we should brush our teeth.  The different kind of things you could use instead of a toothbrush are a piece of string to floss your teeth and a small toothbrush to brush between your teeth, only spit out the toothpaste and don’t drink water after and more. When it was done she went and painted two peoples teeth from our class with something blue to see if they have been brushing their teeth. When they showed us their teeth you could see that they haven’t been brushing around their gums and the top of their teeth. I have learnt to brush my teeth every morning and night and  to only brush my teeth for 2 minutes.
