Why Do You Wash?

Did you know that millions of microbes live on your hands? Microbes are very, very small living things - you can't see them! Some microbes aren't dangerous, but some can make you sick. Remember to wash your hands. It's important to wash away the micr bes after you go to the toilet, and after y u touch dirty things. Wash your hand bet re you touch food, too.

It's important to brush your teeth every day. When you eat food with sugar, the microbes on your teeth also eat the sugar. This can damage your teeth and make your teeth unhealthy. To keep your teeth healthy, brush them with toothpaste to wash away the microbes. Go to the dentist every year, and don't eat too much food with sugar.
