English

Your task this week is to write an explanation text about caring for your teeth. Use technical vocabulary that you have learnt in science.

Here is an example:

Taking care of your teeth helps prevent cavities and gum disease.

Brushing and flossing properly can prevent plaque (pronounced: plak), a clear film of bacteria that sticks to your teeth. After you eat, the bacteria break down sugar on your teeth into acids that eat away tooth enamel, causing holes called cavities. Plaque also causes gingivitis, which is gum disease that can make your gums red, swollen, and sore.

To prevent cavities, you need to remove plaque. To do this, brush your teeth twice a day and floss at least once a day. Brushing also stimulates the gums, which helps to keep them healthy and prevent gum disease. Brushing and flossing are the most important things that you can do to keep your teeth and gums healthy.

Use a toothpaste with fluoride to prevent cavities.

Dentists say you should brush your teeth for at least 2 minutes twice a day. Here are some tips on how to brush properly:

  • Hold your brush at a 45-degree angle against your gumline. Gently brush in short (about one tooth-wide) strokes. Brushing too hard can cause receding gums, tooth sensitivity, and, over time, loose teeth.
  • Brush all outside and inside surfaces of your teeth, and the chewing surfaces. Make sure to get into the pits and crevices.
  • You can also gently brush your tongue.
  • Use a timer or play a favorite song while brushing your teeth to get used to brushing for a full 2 to 3 minutes. Some electronic toothbrushes have timers that let you know when 2 minutes are up.

It is so important to look after your teeth so they last a whole lifetime and help you to eat and talk.

    It is important to brush your teeth twice a day for 2 to 3 minutes each time to help prevent getting cavities and gum disease.To brush your teeth properly you could use floss you use floss by wrapping the string round the gaps of your teeth.Or you could use mouthwash by pouring the liquid into the lid to get the right amount and then you pour it into your mouth but don’t forget gargle and spit it out.But make sure to brush your teeth with a pea size of toothpaste and then brush around the fronts and backs of the teeth and round the sides, you can even brush your tongue to get rid of more bacteria.

    English:
    You need to brush up your teeth because if you eat sweets then you can get some cavities or diseases.
    Make sure that you have to floss your teeth because if that something like food is stuck down/up there you have to floss it off so that no food will be stuck on your teeth.
    What happens when you eat sweets
    ?
    So if you eat sweets then germs will go on your teeth and smell terrible if you don’t brush/flos s your teeth and get going to see the dentist if you cleaned your teeth,if you got checked then it’s pretty good then you’ll surely get paid for that.

    Teeth are really important. That’s why you should brush them two times a day. If you brush them straight after your dinner this could be bad them because therenis an acid on your teeth while you are eating that protects them. If you brush straight after dinner, then the acid will be brushed away and the teeth will be unprotected and turn yellow and weak.
    You should make sure that you brush your teeth for approximately 2 minutes.
