“Well, it looks like you sir, have a cavity” replied the dentist. “What’s that?” asked Themba “That’s when bad things start to destroy your teeth, and that is why it is very important to take good care of them.”

Themba opened up the book and started to read the song: “Put your toothpaste on your
brush, And don’t do it in a rush. Brush, brush, brush, brush!
Move the brush back and forth,
On your teeth south, west, east
and north! Make sure to brush all of your teeth, In the back, above, and beneath.
Brush, brush, brush, brush!”
