Dental Presentations

The new thing I learned when Mrs Walbridge came was when you smoke our teeth turns blackish brown and it also causes cancer. I also didn't know that when you still have baby teeth and the permanent teeth grows it becomes crooked. It was amazing when Mrs Walbridge said when your tooth comes out you can put it back in, but before you put it in you run it under water. I also didn't know that if you run out of floss you can use a nylon bag that holds the oranges.

All the questions that our class and room 12 came up were interesting.

I am going to tell my parents to buy healthy food and to also tell my parents to use the bag that holds the orange as a floss instead of buying it.

Tooth Traditions From Around The World

Many people around the world do different stuff with their teeth. Like Japanese throw it on the roof and Argentina’s put it into a glass so a rat can come and get it. I am going to tell what these countries do with their teeth.

Afghanistan:

In Afghanistan when a child’s tooth comes out they throw it into a mouse hole or rat hole. The Afghanistan's throw their teeth  into the hole because they want their other tooth to grow strong and healthy and white so when they eat stuff it won’t hurt.

Argentina:

In Argentina they put their teeth into a glass of water at night time while they are sleeping. Then a little mouse will go and drink the water and take the tooth. After that the mouse will leave candy or coins inside the cup.

Brazil:

Sometimes children in Brazil throw their teeth out onto the streets. Then they ask the birds to come take it and when they take the tooth they will bring a new one. The birds will only take the tooth if it has no cavities.

Egypt:

Egyptian children wrap their teeth in a tissue and take it outside. Then they throw it at the sun and asking them to take their buffalo tooth and bring them back a nice tooth. So when they smile it will look white and will be strong .

Home:

At my house we put it under our pillow when we go to sleep. When we wake up in the morning we find a bucket of lollies or $20. Sometimes my brothers think it was the tooth fairy. When I tell them it wasn’t the tooth fairy then they say it was our mum.

I think people should still do what they do with their teeth in their country because it is amazing. I didn’t know that when Indonesia's throw their teeth straight on their roof it will be straight and if they throw it crooked the their teeth will be crooked.

Viliami, Tainah and I made teeth with marshmallows. The colour of the teeth was pink and white. Making the teeth with marshmallows was very easy. We use the apples for the lips. When we finished making the teeth we ate it. It was yum.

We need mouthguards to play sport

Walt: Write a persuasive speech.

Mouthguards are very important in sport. Mouthguards are made of plastic and it goes into your mouth. It protects your teeth from falling out while playing sport. You need a mouthguard for rugby, rugby league and boxing. I think people should wear a mouthguard because when a person has been tackled he might Accidentally kick you in the face. You might not know that some of your teeth will come off

Mouthguards help prevent chips, cracks, knockouts and other any big impacts. People that do not wear mouthguards are ignoring the rules. The people that wear mouthguards are good because they do not ignore the rules.

Wearing no mouthguards will cause chips and crack in your teeth. Mouthguards help reduce chance of concussion. It also protects jaw joints against injury. It helps prevent injuries to the jaw and neck. It also protects soft tissues from injuries. Lastly it cushions teeth against impact.

To make the mouthguard fit in your mouth you’ll have to mould it in hot water. Then you wear it. You bite on to it for two minutes. When the two minutes are up you can put it back into the case and leave it for the next time you play sport.

We all know that mouthguards are vital in contact sport.  Most people agree that people that are not wearing mouthguards are ignoring the rules.
