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!
