Dentist

In Te Ngahere our dentist came in and she talked about dental hygiene. She comes in every year to check our teeth and tells us what we need to do to our teeth and the best thing of all is that it’s free! We were learning about what we can do to protect our teeth. I learnt that spit actually protects our teeth but there are also other people that don’t have a proper spit making thing in their mouths so they have lost the natural protection. I also learnt about some stuff called plaque and the longer it’s on your teeth it can turn as hard as stone so brush well and long. We made D.L.Os to show what we learnt and what we can do for our teeth.
