Oral health means looking after our mouths and teeth. That means regularly brushing your teeth and seeing a dentist. It is important to have good oral health because if your mouth is unhealthy it can affect your teeth, tongue, gums and breath.

Food and drink left on our teeth can cause bad breath and tooth decay, so you need to clean your teeth to prevent damage and infections.
