Strong,healthy teeth help you chew food that helps you grow. They help you speak clearly. And they help you look best. Here are some tips for you to take care of your teeth.
1. Brush your teeth in the right way.
Brush your teeth at least twice a day―after breakfast and before bedtime. If you can,brush them after lunch or after sweet snacks,too.

3. Have good eating habits.

I said, "Daughter,I am sorry for the way I acted today;I should not have shouted at you that way. " My daughter said, "Oh,Mum,that's okay. I love you anyway."
