As part of their Healthy Living topic in PSHE Year 7 have been looking into the importance of a healthy diet and brushing their teeth. The school had a generous donation of tooth brushes and tooth paste so we were able to give all year 7 pupils a new set to practice with in class and take home!
NHS tips on brushing your teeth!
* Brush your teeth with fluoride toothpaste twice a day for about 2 minutes to help keep your teeth and mouth healthy.
* Plaque is a film of bacteria that coats your teeth if you don't brush them properly. It contributes to gum disease and tooth decay.
* Tooth brushing stops plaque building up. Try to make sure you brush every surface of all your teeth.
* Remember to brush the inside surfaces, outside surfaces and the chewing surfaces of your teeth.
