Teeth are important. Strong, healthy teeth help you chew foods that help you grow. They help you speak clearly. And, they help you look your best. Here are some advice for you to take care of your teeth.

  ● Brush your teeth the right way.

Brush your teeth at least twice a day after breakfast and before bedtime. If you can, brush after lunch or after sweet snacks（快餐）, too.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

Brush all your teeth, not just the front ones. Spend time brushing teeth along the sides and back of your mouth. Brush away from your gums（齿龈）, too.

Spend at least three minutes each time you brush. Play a song you like to help pass the time.

Get a new toothbrush every three months. When you buy your tooth brush, be sure it has soft bristles（鬃毛）.

● Learn how to floss your teeth.

Flossing is a very important way to keep your teeth healthy. Food may hide in places where a toothbrush cannot get to, like the space between the teeth. Flossing can help get rid of it. Carefully move the floss between two teeth, up and down. You need to floss your teeth at least once a day.

● Have good eating habits.

You need to be careful about what you eat and drink. Eating sugar is a major cause of tooth decay（腐朽）. Eating sugar before you go to bed can make things even worse. Eat lots of fruit and vegetables and drink water instead of soda.

I had a very special teacher in high school many years ago. Her husband died because of traffic accident. About a week after his death, she shared some of her insights with us.
The class was clearly over. She said,＂Before class is over, I would like to share with all of you an important thought.”  “Each of us is on Earth to learn, share, love and *appreciate. We must *cherish every single day.”
Her eyes beginning to water, she went on, “So I would like you to make me a *promise. From now on, on your way to school, or on your way home, find something beautiful. It could be a *scent----perhaps of freshly baked bread, or it could be the sound of the *breeze slightly *rustling the leaves in the trees.”
“Please look for these things, and cherish them. For, although it may sound * trite, these things are the *stuff of life. They are the little things on Earth to enjoy. They are the things we often take for *granted. We must try to notice them because it can be easily taken away at any time.”
The class was completely quiet. We picked up our books and went out of the room silently. That afternoon I noticed more things on my way from school than I had that whole semester.
I often think of that teacher and try to appreciate all off those things that sometimes we *overlook.
Take notice of something special you see on your lunch time today. Walk *barefoot along the beach at *sunset. For as we get older, it is not the things we did that we regret, but the things we didn’t do.
