Jason是一个喜欢吃糖，却不爱刷牙的小男孩。他把妈妈“少吃糖，多刷牙”的叮嘱当耳旁风。一天，Jason的牙齿突然开始疼痛，他只好去看牙，他的牙到底怎么样了呢？Let’s read the story.

Jason is a boy who likes sugar.

“Don’t forget to brush your teeth，” mom often says to him.

But Jason just brushes his teeth sometimes.

One day， Jason is having lunch with his family.

“Ouch！” shouts Jason suddenly（突然地）.

“What’s the matter with you？” asks mom.

“Ah ... I think I’ve got a toothache，” says Jason painfully（痛苦地）.

So， mom takes Jason to see the dentist.

“Nice to meet you！I’m Dr. Black，” says the dentist.

“Open your mouth please，” says the dentist.

“I am scared，” says Jason.

“Relax. Let’s see what’s wrong，” says the dentist.

“Is this the one？ Does it hurt？” asks the dentist.

“Yes. Ouch， that’s it，” Jason is painful.

Jason’s teeth are bad.

He has tooth decay（蛀牙）.

“Do you often eat a lot of

sweets？” asks the dentist.

“Yes， I can’t control（控制）myself，” says Jason.

“Do you brush your teeth every day？” asks the dentist.

“Sometimes I brush， but sometimes I don’t，” says Jason.

“Boy， teeth are our

good friends，” says

the dentist.

“You should protect （保护）them. remember（记得）to brush your teeth twice every day.”

Then the dentist cleans Jason’s teeth.

He also teaches Jason the right way to brush teeth.

The dentist gives some medicine to Jason.

“Take one pill a day，” says the dentist.

“And come to me a week later.”

Jason is grateful（感激的） to the dentist.

He chooses a new toothbrush.

He determines to（下决心） take good care of his friends.
