Why do I need to brush my teeth?

Our teeth are very important and we must take care of them throughout our lives.  They help us to bite and chew our food, and without them we wouldn’t be able to eat a lot of the foods we love!

Cleaning your teeth properly helps prevent plaque, which is an invisible bacteria that sticks to your teeth.  And what does this bacteria love the most? That’s right – sugar! Oh yes, it just loves sugar.  But the bacteria turns the sugar into acid which can cause holes in your teeth called cavities.  So regular brushing helps stop plaque building up and damaging your lovely teeth.

Keeping your teeth clean and healthy

Nothing makes the tooth fairy happier than collecting clean and healthy teeth from children in Norfolk.

Here are the tooth fairy’s top tips for terrific teeth!

  • Brush your teeth at least twice a day – after breakfast and before bed.
  • Brush all of your teeth, not just the front ones. Your side and back teeth are very important too.  Your dentist will be able to show you how to brush properly.
  • Use only a little toothpaste, don’t put too much on your brush.
  • Brush your teeth for two minutes and change your tooth brush regularly.
  • Visit your Norfolk dentist twice a year to make sure your teeth are healthy and strong.

It’s not just about brushing

What you eat and drink is really important to help keep your teeth healthy.  A healthy diet filled with fresh fruit and vegetables is good for a healthy body as well and healthy teeth.

Chocolate and candy are full of sugar and soda pop and fruit juice can be high in sugar too, so don’t have them too often.  Sugary drinks should only be had with food and make sure you brush your teeth afterwards.

The tooth fairy’s favourite drink is water, and this is the best choice for drinking between meals.

The tooth fairy recommends you visit the CDC webpage for more information on children’s teeth hygiene.
