We're finally on our journey. Listen well to what I say! This is what you need to know to help us save the day: Our mouths contain bacteria . . . and when it meets your food This creates an acid. "That doesn't sound so good!" It makes a sticky substance every time you snack. The substance causes cavities – the official name is plaque. And snacking too often creates a plaque attack. We brush with flouride toothpaste when it's plaque we're up against. It helps to keep your teeth strong – it's our first defense. Brush at least twice a day to help keep cavities away. The more times you snack – the more plaque can attack. "So should we snack less?" Yes! Yes! Yes! "We can keep teeth healthy?" That's what brushing's for! And snacking too often creates a plaque attack.
