Teeth are like little workers that help you chew and grind up food so you can swallow it easily. Just like you have different toys for different games, your mouth has different types of teeth. Some are sharp and pointy, like tiny mountains, perfect for biting into apples. Others are flat and great for chewing your favorite snacks.

Gums are the soft, pink tissue that hugs your teeth tightly and keeps them safe. Just like a fence around a yard, gums protect your teeth from anything that might try to harm them. They’re your teeth’s best friends, so they need some love and care too!

Cavities happen when we forget to clean our teeth well. Imagine leaving your toys outside—they might get dirty or even break. Similarly, if we don’t brush our teeth and remove food bits and germs, they can create tiny holes called cavities. But don’t worry— brushing your teeth helps keep those little holes away, and visiting your dentist regularly keeps your teeth strong and can fix any cavities if they appear.

Fillings are like a special putty that dentists use to fix cavities. When you get a cavity, the dentist carefully cleans out the little hole and fills it with this special putty. It’s like repairing a tiny crack in your favorite toy! The filling helps your tooth stay strong and healthy again.
