A big thank you to Ms. Danielle and Ms. Bethany from Dr. Tilghman & Dr. Schwartz's office for visiting our school and teaching us about dental hygiene. We learned some important tips on how to keep our teeth shiny and clean.
Tip #1
Brush twice a day for two minutes. You should spend thirty seconds brushing each of the four quadrants of your mouth. Don't forget to brush your gums and tongue.
Tip #2
Always floss after brushing. When your dental floss reaches your gums, make a "C" motion and come back up. This will help scoop away any food and help keep your gums healthy.
Tip #3
Eating crunchy vegetables will also help clean your teeth. Chewing on crunchy pencils, fingernails, or ice cubes will NOT help clean your teeth. They only cause damage.
Tip #4
Try to stay away from soda, candy or other acidic foods. Acid can eat away your teeth and cause cavities.
