Dental Dictionary
Healthy Teeth helps prevent plaque. Plaque is very sticky, and acts like a magnet for bacteria and sugar. Bacteria can go crazy over the sugar on your teeth, breaking it down into acids that eat away tooth enamel, causing cavities. If you don't take care of your teeth, it won't be long before cavities and unhealthy gums make your mouth very sore. Kids can take charge of their teeth by brushing all their teeth at least twice a day, spend at least three minutes brushing, make sure the toothbrush has soft bristles, and floss.
