Today we looked at caring for our teeth. The dental nurse came along and told us how to brush our teeth.
Did you know that you don't rinse your mouth with water as this washes away the toothpaste. It is best to keep the toothpaste on your teeth to help fight the germs and keep your teeth strong.
Instructions for brushing your teeth
1. Pick up your soft toothbrush.
2. Put a pea size amount of toothpaste onto your brush.
3. Brush the tops of your teeth. (bottom and top)
4. Brush in circles, the sides of your teeth.
5. Use a flicking action to brush the insides of your teeth. (Watch out as this can cause toothpaste to splatter on the mirror and poor mum has to clean it off)
6. Rinse your toothbrush under the cold water but do not rinse out your mouth.
Remember to brush after breakfast and before you go to bed.

When the dental nurse came to our class room she teached us about teeth and gums and tongues. At the end she gave us a toothbrush and a activity book. Brianna McAdam
