Brushing your teeth several times a day and eating healthy foods are two ways to keep your teeth healthy and white. Another thing you can do is visit your dentist at least once a year.
At the dentist’s surgery, you sit in a special chair. It moves all different ways so the dentist can look into your mouth easily. First, the dentist puts a little round mirror on a handle into your mouth. This helps the dentist see the sides of your teeth. To feel for cavities, or holes, in your teeth, the dentist uses tiny tools called explorers.
Your dentist or the hygienist then cleans your gums and cleans and polishes your teeth to make them shine.
If your dentist finds a cavity in one of your teeth, it will need to be cleaned and filled. Before filling your tooth, your dentist may give you an injection in the gum near the tooth that has the cavity. The injection makes the area numb, so you cannot feel any pain while the dentist works on your tooth.
Remember, that the teeth you begin to get when you are only six years old have to last you the rest of your life. Take good care of them. Ask your parents for a new toothbrush, toothpaste, and dental floss after each checkup.
