Healthy Teeth - Make a Habit

We have been using our SOLO HOT Sequence map to help us organise our thinking to write a procedural text about how to brush teeth making sure we include all the reasons why.

First floss between your teeth up and down gently. Use a 45 centimeter piece of floss.  We need to floss so that we don’t have food stuck in between our teeth.  Food stuck in our teeth can turn into cavities.

Next put a pea size amount of fluoride toothpaste on your toothbrush. Put it under water.

Then brush up and down on your outer front teeth and then your bottom.

After that brush up and down the inner layer and bottom inner layer too.

Finally brush in circles on your premolars and molars and tongue.

It is important to brush your teeth because your teeth will full out and your teeth will ache so it will be hard to eat.

First floss. To floss get a piece of dental floss that is 45 centimetres long and wrap it around your finger and put it between your teeth and make a ‘c’ shape then pull in and away because it gets out all the bits of plaque and bacteria in your teeth that you can't get out with your toothbrush. Second get your toothpaste and your toothbrush and put a pea sized amount of toothpaste on your toothbrush. Then brush your upper outer so it gets out all the bacteria and plaque. After that brush your inner outer jaw so your top line of teeth is clean make sure you go around in circles and slowly move along across the jaw. Finally brush your tongue then spit so all the bacteria gets out of your mouth. Overall I think you should brush for two minutes every day and night because there's more bacteria in your mouth than people in the world.

How to brush your teeth

First floss your teeth to get all of the bacteria out so your teeth are clean. Remember to make sure you use 45 centimetres of floss and floss in between your teeth.Next you need to put a pea sized amount of fluoride toothpaste on your toothbrush to get ready to brush and run the tap. After that brush the outside of the top layer of your teeth then do the bottom layer and make sure that you brush your premolars and molars first. After brush the top and bottom layer and brush the front teeth last. Finally you need to brush your tongue because your breath need’s to smell good and then spit at the end.
