My name is Tom and I am 18 years old. I used to eat a lot of sugary foods like sweets, chocolate, and biscuits, and I started having toothaches very often and developed some tooth cavities. At first I didn’t pay much attention, but on several occasions the toothache became terrible and lasted more than a week. I could not focus on my studies and sometimes I could not sleep well. I took some medicine to relieve the pain, but this didn’t help much. As a result, my first term grades were really poor. I decided that I needed to deal with this problem.

I’ve always hated going to the dentist, but I finally took the courage. She checked my teeth, filled all the cavities and cleaned my teeth. Although I had to make a few visits to the dentist and the treatments were really uncomfortable, the results were great! She also gave me some advice on how to keep my teeth healthy. She recommended eating a healthy and well-balanced diet with foods rich in calcium, avoiding sugary foods and drinks, brushing my teeth at least twice a day, and having my teeth checked every three months. At first, it was a bit difficult for me to follow her advice and give up sweets and chocolate. But I didn’t want to experience more toothaches and I knew the importance of healthy teeth.

I’m now eating a healthy diet, brushing my teeth three times a day and don’t eat sweets or chocolate every day. My grades have improved and I am now preparing for university entrance examinations. Can you guess my major? It’s dentistry!
