Gel to help teeth repair themselves
Narrator: Oh no! The dentist!
又要看牙醫了。
I hate getting my teeth checked!
It’s so painful!
It’s my own fault.
我好多顆牙齒都蛀牙了。
I don’t take very good care of my teeth.
I like eating sweet things too much!
I really enjoy eating cakes and candies.
But
1.eating all these sweet things makes my teeth
hurt, because doctors say
too much sweet stuff is bad for teeth.
Also,
2.I don’t like to brush my teeth, and I really hate
cleaning between my
teeth. 我覺得用牙線好麻煩喔。
But when I don’t take care of my teeth,
the dentist says they might all fall out!
醫生幫我補牙也沒用 …
The doctor tries to fix the problem, but it doesn’t help …
But guess what I heard?
There are smart people
who are making something that might fix my tooth problems forever!
3.Some scientists are trying to create a special
gel that could help teeth fix themselves!
很酷吧!
(laughing) It obviously won’t help you grow new teeth,
it just helps the teeth you already have.
If this gel can help teeth fix themselves,
then I won’t have to worry about going to the doctor!
My bad teeth will just heal all by themselves!
然後我就可以繼續吃糖果跟蛋糕 … and I will still be fine!
But … scientists are still doing a lot of tests before they can let people
use this special gel.
So it might be a long time before I can use this amazing gel on my own teeth.
Ouch!
So, I guess right now, I should just take better care of myself. I guess I
will go brush my teeth right now.
