What a tooth looks like

The CROWN:
The part of the tooth
above the gums.

Just like a king’s

hat!

What a tooth looks like

The ROOT:
The part of the tooth below the
gumline.

Just as the roots of a tree hold

the tree in the ground, the
roots of your teeth hold your
teeth in your mouth.

Now that we know what a tooth looks like,
let’s talk about what makes a cavity in
your tooth!
Cavities are caused by PLAQUE!
What is PLAQUE?
An invisible film of germs that constantly
grows on your teeth.

It feels fuzzy. Rub your tongue on your teeth,

do they feel fuzzy?
You brush your teeth to remove PLAQUE!

More on TOOTH DECAY
If you have a small cavity
(tooth decay) and you…
Visit the dentist regularly
Have fluoride applied to your teeth
Do a good job brushing
Eat the right foods
The cavity (tooth decay) may
not spread further. Designed by MT
One of the best ways to
fight TOOTH
DECAY is:
Avoid sugary snacks!

Can anyone name

some sugary snacks? Part 01

Designed by MT
Can you cut out all sugar from your
diet? NO, but you can cut down on it!

If you eat sweets:

Eat them at meal times.
Brush your teeth afterward.
If you cannot brush, swish with
water and swallow! This helps
to remove food particles from
your teeth.

Designed by MT
 Can you name some snacks that would
be healthier for both our bodies and our
teeth?

There are many snacks

that not only taste good,
but are good for you.
Some foods can also help
clean the plaque off the
teeth like hard crunchy
apples or cheeses. Designed by MT
Plaque continues to grow on our
teeth everyday!
It can be removed with
proper brushing.

Always use a toothpaste with

fluoride in it!

Fluoride helps make teeth

stronger, so decay germs
and acids can’t hurt them.
Designed by MT
Let’s review proper tooth
brushing…

Use a soft bristled toothbrush.

Move the brush back and
forth gently in short strokes.
Brush the top, front and back
sides of each tooth.
Use Fluoride toothpaste.

When should you brus

your teeth?

At
In the bedtime

Get a new toothbrush…

Every 3 months.
When yours becomes frayed.
After you have been sick.

Don’t share your toothbrush

with anyone else!
Designed by MT
Is there anything else we can do to
clean our teeth?

Who knows what dental floss is?

You should floss your teeth very gently, once a day.

Flossing is not as easy for kids to do as brushing so
you should ask a grown-up for help.

Flossing is just as important as brushing because it

helps get the food out of places your toothbrush
can’t reach.

Designed by MT
Be sure to visit your dentist
twice a year.

If you have a cavity, the dentist will

be able to find it when it is small.
The dentist, dental hygienist or
dental assistant will apply fluoride
to your teeth.

Can you remember why we need
our teeth?

Our teeth are important because they help us

talk properly, chew our food and
give us beautiful smiles!
Taking good care of our teeth is something
each of us can do

n
Healthy teeth can last a lifetime
if they are cared for properly
