1. HEY KIDS!!
I’m the TOOTHBRUSH
BUS and my team is
here to help you learn
about…
• WHY you should
brush your teeth
• WHEN you should
brush
• HOW to brush
2. SO WHY DO WE BRUSH OUR
TEETH???
See this guy here? He has
plaque on him!
We get plaque when we don’t
brush our teeth after
eating!
Plaque causes tooth decay
and cavities which can be
very painful!
Brushing keeps our teeth
nice & white and our
breath fresh!
3. HOW DO WE BRUSH OUR
TEETH???
There’s just 5 easy
steps!!
1. Use a pea sized
amount of toothpaste
2. Hold your brush at
an angle
3. Brush all your teeth
from the front to the
back, the top and the
bottom! Don’t forget
your tongue!!
4. Brush back and
forth, round and round.
5. Spit out the toothpaste
and rinse!
4. SO WHEN SHOULD WE
BRUSH OUR TEETH???
We need to brush our
teeth three times a day!!
• After breakfast in the
morning
• After lunch at school
• After dinner, before you
go to bed!
Brushing after we eat keeps
our teeth healthy and our
smiles looking good!
5. !!!EXTRA 4 EXPERTS!!!
Brushing your teeth isn’t the only
step in keeping your teeth
clean!!
There are two other steps as
well!
These are FLOSSING and
RINSING with mouth wash!
Flossing gets all the food out
from between your teeth and
Rinsing with mouthwash kills
bacteria and keeps your breath
fresh!
Ask your mum and Dad to help you with
these!
