Year 4 Autumn 1 Week 5 Homework

Mrs Latham

Here is this week’s homework. Don’t forget it must be finished by Wednesday morning. Complete a minimum of two pieces and if you have any problems, let your teacher know on Monday morning.

English

Your task this week is to write an explanation text about caring for your teeth. Use technical vocabulary that you have learnt in science.

Here is an example:

Taking care of your teeth helps prevent cavities and gum disease.

Brushing and flossing properly can prevent plaque (pronounced: plak), a clear film of bacteria that sticks to your teeth. After you eat, the bacteria break down sugar on your teeth into acids that eat away tooth enamel, causing holes called cavities. Plaque also causes gingivitis, which is gum disease that can make your gums red, swollen, and sore.

To prevent cavities, you need to remove plaque. To do this, brush your teeth twice a day and floss at least once a day. Brushing also stimulates the gums, which helps to keep them healthy and prevent gum disease. Brushing and flossing are the most important things that you can do to keep your teeth and gums healthy.

Use a toothpaste with fluoride to prevent cavities.

Dentists say you should brush your teeth for at least 2 minutes twice a day. Here are some tips on how to brush properly:

  • Hold your brush at a 45-degree angle against your gumline. Gently brush in short (about one tooth-wide) strokes. Brushing too hard can cause receding gums, tooth sensitivity, and, over time, loose teeth.
  • Brush all outside and inside surfaces of your teeth, and the chewing surfaces. Make sure to get into the pits and crevices.
  • You can also gently brush your tongue.
  • Use a timer or play a favorite song while brushing your teeth to get used to brushing for a full 2 to 3 minutes. Some electronic toothbrushes have timers that let you know when 2 minutes are up.

It is so important to look after your teeth so they last a whole lifetime and help you to eat and talk.

    To keep your teeth heathly you should brush your teeth at least twice a day you should put a drop of toothpaste.

    Junk food and sugar cause cavities, but you can still eat it in small amounts . You should brush your teeth twice a day and make sure you brush your teeth for 2 minutes ( up and down).

    To help your teeth be stronger you need to eat healthy but not too much daily, you should have 4 meals : breakfast, lunch,snacks and dinner.
    These meal have to be healthy so your teeth won’t hurt.

    To find out your teeth don’t have any cavities check if there are any black dots or check if your gum is sore and red.

    Your teeth
    When your children start to grow teeth, you must make sure that they brush them. Cavities infect your teeth as your gums turn black. Plaque is this white thing that goes over your teeth, and when you tries to feel it, it will be white stuff.
    When children get a set of teeth called milk teeth, they all fallout. Then, you get the last set off teeth, adult teeth. When you get adult teeth, you must brush them properly and floss them 2x day and night.

    Caring for your teeth:
    The first set of teeth that you get as a child are often called milk teeth. There are 20 teeth in your first set. These teeth fall out and you get adult teeth and they are 32.
    You should brush your teeth twice daily for at least 2 minutes each time. A goof way to remember is to sing happy birthday.
    Always use a good tooth brush and a fluoride based tooth paste. Fluoride in the toothpaste prevents cavities and gum disease.
    You must take care of your teeth fro the beginning as once you lose your adult teeth you will not get them back.

    How to take care of your teeth.
    Brushing your teeth (x2 a day) and flossing them daily prevents plaque (pronounced:plak) Make sure you do it for a good 2 to 3 minutes. Plaque is caused when you eat too much sugary foods which make acid that makes holes in the enamel (pronounced:en am el), these are called cavities.

    When should I brush my teeth?
    Brush your teeth (for about 2 minutes) in the morning and before you go to sleep.

    The proper brushing technique is to:
    1.Place your toothbrush at a 45-degree angle to the gums.
    2.Gently move the brush back and forth in short (tooth-wide) strokes.
    3.Brush all teeth in your mouth

    Keeping Your Smile White, Bright, and Healthy

    We all know the basics when it comes to keeping your teeth healthy: brush, floss, visit the dentist twice a year. But there are habits and lifestyle choices that could be harming your dental health that will surprise you.
    Avoid Ice Chewing
    Chewing ice is a seemingly harmless, often unconscious habit. But ice chewing can cause permanent damage to your teeth, putting small cracks in the enamel.

    These cracks can grow larger over time and ultimately cause a tooth to fracture, requiring a visit to the dentist and unnecessary expense to get the cracks fixed. The American Dental Association advises you to skip the ice if this habit is too tough to resist. Try opting for chilled water instead, or order your drinks without ice to resist the harmful urge to chew those hard cubes.

    Danger: Tongue Piercings

    Tongue piercings may seem like harmless body modifications, but they can take a hefty toll on your mouth. Discouraged by dentists, tongue piercings can cause lots of teeth problems, and mouth problems overall.

    Tongue piercings may cause bad teeth in several ways. They may cause your teeth to chip or break, requiring dental work. Repeatedly clicking the jewelry against teeth can damage your teeth and fillings, and so can accidentally biting down too hard on the piercing. The piercing can interfere with dental x-rays. Also, in some cases, tongue piercings may be forced between your teeth repeatedly, causing teeth to gap.
    Teeth Grinding

    If you find yourself grinding your teeth, you’re not alone. In the US, roughly 30 to 40 million people grind their teeth. Teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, can be an inherited trait, and it is often linked to stress and anxiety. While teeth grinding can happen at any time, many people grind their teeth in their sleep without knowing it.

    Teeth grinding may pose an assortment of health problems to your mouth. These include:

    chipped tooth enamel,
    cracked teeth,
    loose teeth,
    flat, worn-down teeth,
    joint problems, and
    tooth loss.
    Because teeth grinding often happens while sleeping, many people don’t realize they’re doing it. Some symptoms of teeth grinding include loose teeth, neck aches, earaches, and dull headaches, a jaw that’s tired and sore, and a clicking sound when you open your mouth.

    Teeth Grinding Protection
    Talk to a dentist if you suspect you may be grinding your teeth. Your dentist can recommend one or more treatments. These may include a mouth guard, a bite adjustment (this corrects the way your top and bottom teeth fit together), reducing stress, and medications that relieve sore muscles.
    Soda

    High sugar plus high acidity makes a bad dental combo. Frequent soda drinking will bathe your teeth in sugar and can lead to dental decay. Additionally, increased acid exposure works to erode tooth enamel and can lead to tooth sensitivity.

    If you still want to drink soda, here are some ways to reduce your use. Cut back on the soda you drink every day. Opt for water, the healthier thirst-quencher. Minimize enamel erosion by rinsing with water after your teeth have been exposed to acidic beverages. Try sipping acidic drinks through a straw to avoid contact with your teeth. Finally, wait at least 30 minutes before brushing with a soft toothbrush after acid exposure to avoid further enamel breakdown.
