If you are the person who tries to argue..

Hi forks,

If you are the person who likes to argue with your teacher – DROP EVERYTHING and LISTEN to what I have to say now!

Teachers at the school or after school are  there to help you out for a good reason. You will learn something that is very valuable and important for your life. It will make your life easier in the future by absorbing them so – STOP ARGUING. You probably have your own side of opinion and want to talk to someone who is mature – THAT IS FINE, but find a right time and right person.

If I have someone who is trying to disturb or interrupt my lesson, and even get away with things that has been planned, you should expect me VERY CROSSED. Of course, the message will be sent across to your parents too.

Don’t even give it a try because there will be no chance.

If you have something (which you cannot survive without discussing) try me after the lesson, but not during the lesson. You need to arrange time and come with a very nice attitude to talk about the issue. It will be accepted if you approach your argument this way. Thanks.

Dental Plaque

Click here to download a document about dental plaque

Plaque is the sticky, colorless film of bacteria that forms on teeth. It makes teeth “feel fuzzy” to the tongue and is most noticeable when teeth are not brushed.

Plaque develops when foods containing carbohydrates (sugars and starches) such as milk, soft drinks, raisins, cakes, or candy are frequently left on the teeth. Bacteria that live in the mouth thrive on these foods, producing acids as a result. Over a period of time, these acids destroy tooth enamel, resulting in tooth decay.Plaque can also develop on the tooth roots under the gum and cause breakdown of the bone supporting the tooth.

Plaque can be prevented by:

1. only eating sugary foods at mealtimes, not as snacks

2. brushing teeth after eating/flossing

3. using a fluoride toothpaste

4. eating a well-balanced diet

5. visiting the dentist regularly.

Microbe

A microbe is any living organism that spends its life at a size too tiny to be seen with the naked eye. Microbes include bacteria and archaebacteria, protists, some fungi and even some very tiny animals that are too small to be seen without the aid of a microscope. Viruses and the recently discovered prions are also considered microbes.

The term microbe is short for microorganism, which means small organism. To help people understand the different types of microbes, they are grouped or classified in various ways. Microbes are extremely diverse and represent all the great kingdoms of life, including the animals, plants, fungi, protists and bacteria (see the tree below). In fact, in terms of numbers, most of the diversity of life on Earth is represented by microbes.
