UH OH!

A toothbrush is a special tool that helps keep our teeth clean and healthy. It looks like a small, colorful stick with lots of tiny bristles at one end. These bristles are like little superheroes that fight off bad bacteria and food particles that can hide in our mouths.

When we eat, tiny bits of food can get stuck between our teeth and along our gumline. If we don't remove them, they can cause trouble and invite naughty bacteria to party in our mouths! But that's where our trusty toothbrush comes to the rescue.

Every morning and before going to bed, we then gently scrub our teeth and gums with the toothbrush's bristles. They sweep away the sneaky food bits and bacteria, leaving our teeth sparkling clean.

Brushing our teeth every day is super important because it helps prevent cavities, which are like tiny holes in our teeth that can hurt and make us visit the dentist more often than we'd like. By using our toothbrush regularly, we can keep our smiles happy, our breath fresh, and our teeth strong like superheroes!
