Teeth
Teeth are important for chewing food, so you need to take care of your teeth.
When you are a child, you have baby teeth. These fall out and are replaced by adult
teeth. You can expect to have a full set of 32 teeth one day. Brush your teeth twice
a day, in the morning and at bedtime. Also, floss to remove the bits of food that get
stuck between your teeth. That way, you will have a healthy smile!
