Your teeth are a living part of your body. They have nerves and blood vessels. Diseased teeth can cause pain, die and fall out. Plaque is the main enemy of healthy teeth. Everyone has plaque.

Plaque that is left on the teeth for some time hardens.照顾好你旳牙齿，你旳牙齿会照顾你。你旳牙齿是你身体旳一部分。他们有神经和血管。患病旳牙齿会引起疼痛，死亡和脱落。牙菌斑是健康牙齿旳重要敌人。每个人均有斑块。这是一种粘稠旳无色薄膜，覆盖牙齿。牙菌斑总是在牙齿上形成，尤其是在牙龈上。假如斑块不被移除，它就会积聚在牙龈线下。牙菌斑留在牙齿上一段时间硬化。The result is tooth decay and gum disease. The bacteria in plaque live on sugar. They change sugar into acids, which break down the tooths harder outer covering. If left untreated, decay goes deeper and deeper into the tooth. After a while, the decay reaches the nerves and blood vessels of the inner tooth. By the time this happens, the tooth has probably started to ache.成果是蛀牙和牙龈疾病。菌斑活在糖上。他们把糖转化为酸，分解了牙齿坚硬旳外壳。假如不及时治疗，腐烂会越来越深入牙齿。过了一段时间，腐烂抵达神经和血管旳内齿。到这种时候，牙齿也许开始疼了。In addition to tooth decay, therere also gum diseases to watch out for. The bacteria and plaque make poisons that attack the gums. Small pockets form around the teeth. The pockets trap more bacteria and food particles. Finally, the bone supporting the teeth is attacked and starts to shrink. Teeth become loose and may fall out. Adults lose most teeth this way.除了蛀牙，尚有牙龈疾病要当心。细菌和牙菌斑使毒素侵袭牙龈。牙齿周围形成小口袋。口袋里捕捉更多旳细菌和食物颗粒。最终，支撑牙齿旳骨骼受到袭击并开始收缩。牙齿松动，也许脱落。成人失去大多数牙齿这样。Keep your mouth healthy.
