We all know teeth are important to us, and we have National Teeth-Loving Day on September 20 th every year. Do you know the life cycle of teeth in your mouth? Children under 6 years old have 20 baby teeth. From 6 to 13, people lose their baby teeth one by one. Now permanent teeth(恒牙)begin to grow. Between the ages of 17 and 25, some people grow wisdom teeth(智齿). Of course, wisdom teeth don't make you any smarter. They look like a symbol(象征)of being grown-ups(成年人).

Do you know how to keep our teeth strong and healthy? Let's look at the following tips.

What we can do:

Brush your teeth in the morning and before bedtime.

Brush for at least two or three minutes every time.

Brush up and down on every tooth.

Use a dental floss(牙线)for your teeth to make them cleaner.

Get a new toothbrush every three months.

What we can't do:

Don't eat too much sweet food, like candy and ice cream, or don't drink too much soda.

Don't eat very hard food. That can hurt your teeth.

Don't eat snacks before bedtime.

It's clear that healthy teeth help us eat food to let us grow. They help us speak clearly. And yes, they help us look good.

New Zealand is in the Pacific Ocean and it is made up of islands. The largest island is the South Island and the North Island is the second largest.

Most people live on North Island. 85% of New Zealanders are “pakeha” (“white people”), which means their “great grandfathers” came from Europe. The “pakeha” started to arrive in New Zealand from Europe about 200 years ago as farmers and businessmen. 10% are Maoris. The Maoris came to New Zealand from the Polynesian Islands probably around the tenth century.
