A smile is an invitation that you wear on your face. It says,
“I’m a girl you want to know!” Make sure your smile is a warm
greeting and a sign of good health by brushing up on the basics.
Fluoride Facts
Fluoride is a mineral that helps make
teeth strong so they can resist cavi-
ties. If you live in a city, your water
probably has some fluoride in it.
Make sure your toothpaste does,
too. And you don’t need a huge gob
of paste to get the job done—just a
squirt about the size of a pea.
Toothbrush Basics
Choose a small toothbrush with soft,
rounded bristles. Replace your brush
every two to three months, or as
soon as the bristles get droopy. Bent
bristles won’t clean your teeth prop-
erly, and they can harm your gums.
