Lesson 3 Caring for Your Teeth
Tooth and Gum Problems
• Healthy Gums Check your gums regularly by
looking at them in the mirror. Your gums should be
bright pink and free from sores.
• What Is Plaque? Plaque is a mixture of bacteria,
saliva, and food particles. It is very sticky and binds
to the enamel of your teeth. The bacteria and acid
found in plaque can cause bad breath and even
worse—cavities!

Lesson 3 Caring for Your Teeth
Dental Cavities
• What Is a Cavity? A cavity is a hole in your tooth
that is made by acids.
• How Are Cavities Formed? A cavity begins when
plaque forms on your tooth. The plaque holds the
acids very close to the enamel of the tooth. Even
though the enamel is very tough, the acids
eventually eat through it and make a hole.

Lesson 5 Caring for Your Ears
How You Hear

parts inside your ears vibrate. Loud sounds make
the tiny parts vibrate much too hard. If you expose
your ears to loud sounds too often, the tiny parts of
your ear can break.

Other Hearing Problems
• Earwax Buildup Sometimes, earwax builds up and
hardens in the canal. This can block the sound
waves and prevent the eardrum from vibrating.

can cause fluid buildup, which can also prevent the
eardrum from vibrating properly.
