Importance of Brushing Teeth
Brushing our teeth every morning and night is crucial to maintain clean and healthy mouths. By brushing, we remove bacteria and sticky plaque that can lead to tooth decay. Even if we eat fruits and vegetables and drink water, brushing is necessary to fully clean our mouths and protect our teeth.
Bacteria and Acid
Our mouths are home to millions and billions of bacteria that feed on leftover food between our teeth, creating sticky plaque. If we don't brush regularly or consume too much sugar, these bacteria can produce acid that wears away the enamel, resulting in tooth decay and cavities. It's important to clean off the bacteria and plaque through regular brushing.
The Role of the Dentist
Regular visits to the dentist are essential for maintaining oral health. Dentists like Dr. Mihiri Silva can help by examining our mouths, removing bacteria and plaque, and repairing any cavities. They play a crucial role in patching up holes in our teeth and keeping our mouths clean and healthy.
Every morning and every night we have to get the toothpaste and our toothbrushes and clean our teeth... But why? Let's visit dentist Dr Mihiri Silva for a check up and learn why it's so important to look after our teeth.
