TAKING CARE OF YOUR TEETH

What’s the first thing you notice about a person? Usually their smile. 

Your teeth don’t only affect your looks but also help you to chew your food. 

It’s important to take care of them.

Our teeth help to break the food we eat into smaller pieces so that we can swallow and digest it properly. 

Teeth play an important role in our lives and it is very important to take good care of them. If you take care of them, they'll help take care of you. 

Strong, healthy teeth help you chew the right foods to help you grow. They help you speak clearly. And yes, they help you look your best. The healthier those teeth are, the happier you look.
