Oral Hygiene

On Wednesday the 18th Te Ngahere had two Visitors and their names were Ulrike and Chantelle. They taught us about Oral hygiene, Oral hygiene means when you have a clean mouth. I learnt that you have to brush your teeth in a circular motion. I also learnt that you have to brush your teeth at night because during the day you make saliva, and at night you don’t make much saliva so you have to brush your teeth. For example, when you look at something really yummy you make saliva in your mouth. I also learnt that if you don’t brush your teeth you will get Gingivitis which is when you get plaque near your gum and it infects your gums in your mouth. She also let two people put this stuff on their teeth which sticks to plaque and changes colors on your teeth, Dark Blue is 3-4 days old plaque, Light blue is 2 days old plaque and Purple will be 1 day old plaque. After they left we made a DLO about it. I will finish DLO soon.
