Teeth are amazing tools in our mouths, but they also need some protection from tiny creatures called microbes. These microbes are like tiny living things that can be good or bad for our teeth. Some of them help keep our mouths healthy by breaking down food particles and fighting off harmful bacteria. However, if we don’t take care of our teeth properly, harmful microbes can stick to our teeth and gums, causing cavities and gum disease. That’s why it’s important to brush our teeth regularly and visit the dentist for check-ups. By keeping our teeth clean and healthy, we can keep those pesky microbes at bay and maintain a bright and happy smile!
