If you read last Tuesday’s Children Times Magazine, it talked about having a pet as a friend. Today we are going to talk about how and when to keep our teeth clean.

Chaka: With me, is Nadine. Could you please tell us your full names?

Nadine: My names are Atete Nadine.

Chaka: Were do you go to school?

Nadine: I go to ‘la fraternity’ nursery school?

Chaka: Tell me, do you brush your teeth?

Nadine: Yes …

Chaka: If you do not mind, can you show them to me.

Chaka: Eh… What happened to your teeth Nadine?

Nadine: (Opens her mouth wide) they got spoilt.

Chaka: Spoilt, with out.

Nadine: With sweets.

Chaka: You mean sweets can spoil out teeth.

Nadine: Yes…When you eat a lot of them.

Chaka: How many did you eat that spoilt your good teeth?

Nadine: I can’t count; I used to eat a lot of them.

Chaka: Do you still use many sweets as always?

Nadine: No, my parents no longer give me money for sweets.

Chaka: Do you still like eating sweets?

Nadine: Yes…but I fear that my remaining teeth can also be spoilt.

Chaka: Really …!

Nadine: Yes…

Chaka: Ok tell me, do you brush your teeth?

Nadine: Yes…

Chaka: When do you brush your teeth?

Nadine: Every morning.

Chaka: You mean there’s no any other time you brush your teeth?

Nadine: No, I only brush when I go to school.

Chaka: fine, Nadine How many teeth do you have in your mouth.

Nadine: I do not know!

Chaka: Ha! Ha! You have some missing teeth, what happened?

Nadine: They got off them selves.

Chaka: Ha …interesting, how many of them got removed.

Nadine: Two.

Chaka: I am so sorry, but they are growing, keep waiting they will grow big.

Nadine: Laughs.

Chaka: Thanks very much for your time. Happy holidays Nadine.

Nadine: Thank you.

Comment:

Dear children I think you have heard from our friend Nadine. Our teeth are sensitive to sweets. Sweets can spoil our teeth if we eat a lot of them.

Our teeth also need to be brushed at least two times a day, to keep them clean and free from germs which can spoil them. It’s holiday time; take care of your teeth!
