NAME:
WHEN WE DON'T BRUSH THE TEETH AFTER MEALS, BACTERIA TAKE ADVANTAGE OF FOOD REMNANTS TO MULTIPLY. THEY PRODUCE AN ACID WHICH BREAKS THE TEETH, OPENING THE WAY FOR CAVIES FORMATION.
THE ACT OF BRUSHING THE TEETH ELIMINATES FOOD REMNANTS AND BACTERIA, TAKING CARE OF THE HEALTH OF THE TEETH. THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION SAYS THAT AT 12 YEARS A CHILD SHOULD HAVE A MAXIMUM OF 3 DECAYED TEETH. BUT IN BRAZIL AT THIS AGE, CHILDREN HAVE MORE THAN 6 CARIES.
THE MAIN WAYS TO PREVENT CAVITIES ARE:
·MAKE ORAL HYGIENE AFTER EATING, USING BRUSH AND TOOTHPASTE, AND ALSO THE DENTAL FLOSS.
DON'T EAT TOO MANY CANDY;
·GO TO THE DENTIST REGULARLY.
WE MUST BRUSH AND TAKE CARE OF BOTH THE PERMANENT TEETH AND THE MILK TEETH.
