 Hello, everybody. My name is Andrea and this is Rex and we are going to be talking to you guys today about why it's so important to brush your teeth. And Rex, he wants me to make sure that I tell you guys to brush every morning and every single night. He always says, don't forget that because Do you know how your teeth can feel kind of yucky sometimes. Well, if you brush your teeth, they will feel so much better. That's why I brush my teeth because after I eat something Even after I've just been playing all day. My teeth can feel really, really yucky. So after you brush them. They feel so good because you know those crackers, apples, maybe carrots that you like to eat. Well, your teeth need to be healthy and strong to be able to eat those things. Rex here. He loves carrots. So if his teeth weren't healthy and strong, he wouldn't be able to eat those carrots properly. Because did you know that your tooth is made up of a very hard shell called the enamel. So Rex, you see these white areas, these white teeth, mine, his Those white or that white is made up of enamel so that hard strong shell. And then underneath that there is a layer called your dentin. That is really, really soft. But that's why you want to protect the hard shell first By brushing twice a day and eating nice hard crunchy foods to kind of prepare your your cheese to be eating those yummy crunchy foods and to keep them really, really strong. Underneath your dentin is your your pulp. So your actual nerve of the tooth. So if you don't take care of your teeth, then that pulp can become sore. And that's how cavities can make things sore. So the best thing to do is to brush twice a day every day for two whole minutes each and every time. Now another thing that Rex didn't want me to forget to mention is that another reason why we brush every morning and every night is because after we eat something There are yucky kinds of bacteria that like to eat the leftovers of our food. How yucky does that sound. Yes. So if we don't brush away our food, we're not brushing away the bacteria and then the bacteria can kind of get in there and just eat more. And that's kind of yucky. Right. But after we brush, there's no more bacteria. Another thing about the bacteria is that if we don't brush it kind of likes to release acids over time and acids cause cavities. If there's no bacteria, there's no cavities. So if you're brushing twice a day, there's no bacteria, which means no cavities. And Rex is saying to brush morning and night. Yes, Rex. I think we talked about that already. But just in case you might have forgotten You would brush in the morning because you have morning bacteria and then at nighttime you have nighttime bacteria. So if you're only brushing in the morning, you're only getting rid of the morning bacteria. But if you don't brush at nighttime because you don't have enough time. Then the nighttime bacteria is still there eating away causing cavities. It's kind of yucky. So yes, Rex. Exactly. So he says That he likes to brush every morning, every night for two whole minutes and then he's happy. He has nice clean shiny teeth and they don't feel yucky at all. So brushing twice a day makes the teeth strong, healthy and so nice and shiny white. Like, look at his teeth. His teeth are pretty white, huh? Whose teeth are whiter, mine or Rex's? I kind of think his might be whiter. Shh, don't tell him. If you guys have any questions, let us know and we will talk to you guys very soon.
