WHY HEALTHY TEETH?

Healthy teeth are so important for all mankind, the more reason why we need to give attention to it, little wonder then why kids are trained from infant on how to brush with the guidance of the parent. This is done because it is so much necessary and important to give attention to teeth at such a stage in life.
Moreover, when doing so, the kids will become more adapted to such practice, so that when they are much older, it will become part of their daily routine. We do brush teeth, and we didn’t start it now but at a tender age. I could remember when my mum thought me how to brush with a toothbrush.

HOW TO KEEP HEALTHY TEETH

Some of those tips include the following:
Cleaning/Brushing:
This is one of the key factors to put into consideration if a healthy tooth must be achieved. Brushing teeth is very necessary, and this should be done both morning and evening.

Also, attention should be given to the type of toothbrush used as this is also important. While considering getting a proper toothbrush, one needs to consider getting a brush that is in shape with the mouth, that is, the size and shape of the brush need to fits the mouth.

And when brushing teeth, it should be done properly. you might wonder what is the proper way to brush?
To brush teeth in a proper way or technique, one needs to do that in a round motion. Brushing teeth in a proper way or technique is to be considered not lightly, the reason is that if we eat much food that contains carbohydrates, it can result in cavities forming.
And after brushing, the mouth should not be rinsed immediately. Because the content of the toothpaste would be wasted and wouldn’t help clean the teeth properly.

Food:
Food is another good contributor to healthy teeth. However, food that contains calcium is a very outstanding good contributor to healthy teeth, for Example Milk, yogurt, seeds (chia, sunflower, almonds, cashew), sardine, okra(Abelmoschus esculentus), and other green vegetables. All this can help to maintain a healthy tooth.

Visiting a dentist:
Visiting a dentist is very important because the will help examine the teeth and also get rid of some plaque Apart from that, they can see what we may not see in our teeth It is advisable to visit the dentist always or at least twice a year.

• Avoid situations whereby your teeth come in contact with citric acid

CONCLUSION

Good teeth are also good health and as such very important to give attention to. When we take care of our teeth, then we value our body and we also appreciate the creator of that wonderful body. I hope you’ve learned today lovely kids and friends of kids.
