\nDidn\u2019t seem worth the time<\/em>–I could bite<\/em>!\u201d
\nWhat do these lines convey?<\/strong>
\nAns: <\/strong>These lines shows that the poet not realise the importance of regular brushing and proper hygiene, when she was child. She did not care for her teeth daily. She thought it was useless and worthless to clean her teeth after eating anything.<\/p>\n

(b) Why did the poet go to the dentist? How could she have avoided it?
\nAns: <\/strong>The poet went to the dentist to get her teeth examined. She had developed cavities in her teeth due to unhealthy eating habits and irregular brushing of teeth.
\nShe could have avoided it if she had taken proper care of her teeth by brushing them properly and regularly.<\/p>\n

(c) \u201cIf you got a tooth<\/em>,you got a friend.<\/em>\u201d What do you understand from the line?
\nAns: <\/strong>A tooth is like a friend. As a lost friend can never be regained, a lost tooth can never grows again. It cannot be regained or made naturally.<\/p>\n

(d) With reference to the poem, how can you look after your teeth?
\nAns: (i)<\/strong> Brushing proper twice a day.
\n(ii)<\/strong> Rinsing after each meal, avoiding sweet and sticky food for better oral hygiene.
