TEETH

Why do we have teeth?

We need teeth to chew, grind, cut and bite our food.

We have 20 milk teeth and 32 permanent teeth. Our milk teeth started to grow when we are about 6 months old , when we are about 7 years old our permanent teeth started to grow and when we are about 12 years old all our permanent teeth already have grown.

What are the names of the teeth and jobs?

In the front of our teeth there are Incisors. Incisors cuts the food when we bite into the food.

After incisors there are canines. Canines tears food with its sharpest end , they are sharper than incisors.

Premolars have flat surface at the end . Premolars chew and crush food to smaller pieces.

Molars have the flattest surface than premolars. Molars chews and grind food to make it even softer before going into the digestive system.

Why do we have to take care of our teeth?

We should take care of our teeth because if we don’t take care of our teeth bacteria monsters will come to your teeth and they are going to make sure you have a tooth/gum ache or to make sure your teeth will never existed in our whole lives. So we have to take care of our teeth by eating a balanced diet or eating healthy foods that are good for you, drinking lots of milk and water , brush teeth our six times a day, clean our gum and using a floss three times a day after eating.
