Brushing our teeth is important

 Brushing our teeth is important

Intro: Today my persuasive writing is going to be about why it’s important for us people to brush our teeth.

It is important to brush our teeth to prevent gum disease.  The purpose of brushing our teeth is that our teeth reduce the risk of bacterial infections like tooth abscess.  The names of the teeth's are primary teeth, secondary teeth, upper, lower, incisors, canines, premolars and molars.

Incisors are the sharp teeth at the front of the mouth that bite into food and cut it into smaller pieces.  The Incisor's teeth are flat with a thin edge.  The incisor’s teeth are also called anterior teeth.  Canines are the sharp, pointed teeth that sit next to the incisors and look like fangs.  Dentists also call them cuspids or eyeteeth.  Canines are the longest of all the teeth, and people use their canines teeth to tear the food.

Premolars are bigger than the incisors and canines.  Adults have eight premolars.  The first and second premolars are the molars that sit next to the canines.  Molars are the biggest of all the teeth.   Molars have a large flat surface.  We have to brush our teeth at least two times a day.  To help protect your teeth, use fluoride toothpaste.

Conclusion: Last of all brushing your teeth at least two times a day is a very good idea.  Brushing your teeth two times a day means that you have to brush your teeth in the morning and at night.  I hope that you people are making sure that your teeth are healthy and clean by brushing it twice a day.
