Okay, I'll just explain some words that are in today's story.
When you notice something n o t I c e, you see something for the first time.
For example, maybe you see your friend and your friend has had a haircut.
You might say, oh, I notice you had your haircut.
Or maybe you go outside and you don't notice that it's raining.
And then ten minutes later it rains more and you get very wet.
A cavity c a v I t y is a hole in your tooth.
When you eat lots of sweets and don't brush your teeth enough, you might get a cavity.
Maybe a part of your tooth will fall out, but sometimes you don't notice that you have a cavity.
Then you go to the dentist and the dentist tells you that you have a cavity.
Then you get a filling.
F I l l I n g a filling is when a dentist puts something in your tooth where a cavity was.
Fillings stop the cavities from growing bigger.
In the past, fillings were black and did not look nice.
