Main Idea

The main idea of a text tells what the text is mostly about.

It is important to be able to find the main idea so we can focus on the important parts of a text.

What is the main idea of this passage?

Tooth decay is the loss of enamel, the material on the outer surface of a tooth. Although enamel is amazingly hard – the hardest material found in the body – it can be eaten away by acids. The bacteria normally found in the mouth help digest sugars. They produce acids as a result. These acids eat away at the enamel and cause cavities. One way to keep the acids under control is to eat fewer sugary foods and drinks. Brushing the teeth twice daily with a toothpaste that has fluoride in it also helps protect enamel. If cavities form, a dentist can repair them. That is why regular dental checkups are important.

Multiple Choice

What could be the main idea of the passage?

• Regular dental checkups and taking care of our teeth are important to prevent tooth decay.

• Teeth can wear down over time, and there's nothing we can do to prevent it.
