6th Grade Oral Health

​While some might think that teeth are no big deal because you can just get dentures someday, those people are WRONG!!!

Our teeth are important for more than just chewing our food. Taking poor care of your teeth can lead to LOTS of health problems.

• ​False teeth don't chew as well & there's foods you can't eat like apples, corn on the cob, nuts, popcorn, carrots, steak, & sticky candy.

• ​Dentures don't keep the natural structure of your mouth, so you may speak funny and look different

• ​Dentures can be lost or broken and are very expensive to replace

• ​your mouth can get even more infections more easily with dentures unless you REALLY take care of them
