    Teeth are important. Strong and healthy teeth help you chew（咀嚼） foods well. They help you speak clearly. And yes, they help you look best. Here are some tips for you to take care of your teeth:

Brush your teeth in a right way.

    Brush your teeth at least twice a day--after breakfast and before bedtime. If you can, brush after lunch or after sweet snacks, too. Brush all of your teeth, not just the front ones. Spend time brushing teeth along the sides and back of your mouth. Spend at least three minutes each time you brush. Play a song you like to help pass the time.

Learn how to floss (用牙线清理) your teeth.
