Hey there! Today, we’re going to learn about something super important that you should do after every meal. Can you guess what it is? It’s brushing your teeth! Brushing your teeth helps keep your mouth clean and stops those pesky germs from causing problems.
Do you know how long you should brush your teeth to make sure they’re really clean? You should brush for at least two minutes. That’s the perfect amount of time to get rid of all the tiny bits of food that might be hiding in your mouth.
Let’s learn the steps to brush your teeth the right way. Are you ready? Let’s go!
Start by putting a little bit of toothpaste on your toothbrush. You only need a small amount, about the size of a pea.
Begin by brushing your back teeth and molars. Hold your toothbrush at a little angle, like 45 degrees. Use gentle, short movements, brushing from top to bottom and bottom to top. You can also make small circles with your toothbrush.
Next, brush the inside parts of your upper and lower teeth. Don’t forget to reach all the way to the back molars!
Now, brush the parts of your teeth that you use for chewing. Use back-and-forth motions to clean them well.
Gently brush the inside of your cheeks and your tongue. This helps keep your whole mouth fresh and clean.
Finally, spit out any extra toothpaste and rinse your mouth with water.
To make sure your teeth are extra clean, you can use dental floss to get rid of food stuck between your teeth. A fluoride mouth rinse can also help keep your mouth healthy. Eating a balanced diet and not having too many sweets are great ways to keep your teeth strong. If your toothbrush looks worn out, it’s time to get a new one!
Look at that bright, shiny smile! What kind of toothbrush do you use? Some people use ones made from bamboo to help the environment. Remember, keeping your mouth clean is super important for a healthy smile. See you next time!
Toothbrush Timer Challenge: Let’s make brushing fun! Ask an adult to help you find a timer or use a song that lasts two minutes. Each time you brush your teeth, start the timer or play the song. Try to brush all parts of your mouth before the timer ends. Can you feel the difference when you brush for the full two minutes?
Toothpaste Experiment: With the help of an adult, try using different amounts of toothpaste on your toothbrush. Start with a tiny dot, then a pea-sized amount, and finally a big blob. Brush your teeth with each amount and notice how it feels. Which amount do you think cleans your teeth the best? Remember, you only need a pea-sized amount!
Healthy Smile Detective: Become a detective in your own home! Look for foods and drinks that are good for your teeth, like milk, cheese, and crunchy fruits and vegetables. Can you find any sugary snacks that might not be so good for your teeth? Make a list of the healthy choices you find and share it with your family.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the YouTube transcript:

**Step Two:** Start brushing your back teeth and molars. Brush the outside of your upper and lower teeth. Hold the toothbrush at a 45-degree angle. Movements should be gentle and short, brushing from top to bottom and from bottom to top. You can also move the toothbrush in small circular motions.
**Step Three:** Brush the inside of your upper and lower teeth. Remember to reach and clean the back molars too.
**Step Four:** Brush the chewing surfaces with back-and-forth motions.
**Step Five:** Now you should clean the rest of your mouth. Brush gently inside your cheeks and your tongue.
**Step Six:** Spit out any excess toothpaste and rinse.
One more thing: You can use dental floss to remove food remnants from between the teeth. A fluoride mouth rinse can also complete your oral care routine.
