Why Healthy Teeth Are Important

How does taking care of your teeth help with all those things? Taking care of your
teeth helps prevent plaque. Plaque is a clear film of bacteria that sticks to your
teeth.

After you eat, bacteria go crazy over the sugar on your teeth, like ants at a picnic.
The bacteria break it down into acids that eat away tooth enamel, causing holes
called cavities. Plaque also causes gingivitis. It is a gum disease that can make your
gums red, swollen, and sore. Your gums are those soft pink tissues in your mouth that
hold your teeth in place.
If you don't take care of your teeth, cavities and unhealthy gums will make your
mouth very, very sore. Eating meals will be difficult. And you won't feel like smiling so
much.
