Learn how they do it and how you can help your teeth stay healthy!
Dentists are experts who take care of your teeth. They check your teeth to make sure they are clean and strong.
When you visit a dentist, they use special tools to look at your teeth and make sure there are no problems. They may use a small mirror on a stick to see places you can’t reach with a toothbrush.
Dentists also help clean your teeth using toothpaste, toothbrushes, floss, and sometimes even special fluoride trays.
Sometimes, they use an x-ray machine to look at the inside of your teeth and check for cavities.
Cavities can form! A cavity is a hole that can hurt your teeth.
If you don’t brush and floss your teeth, your teeth might start to decay or rot, and they can hurt a lot. So, it’s very important to brush your teeth every day, twice a day, and floss too.
A dentist will always remind you of this when you visit!
