Brushing Song
(Sung to the tune of: "B-I-N-G-O")
In my mouth I have some teeth,
E-I-E-I-O
And in my mouth I put my brush,
E-I-E-I-O
With a brush, brush here
and a brush, brush there
Here a brush
There a brush
Everywhere a brush, brush
In my mouth I'll keep my teeth!
E-I-E-I-O!!!!!!!

Visiting Your Dentist
(Sung to the tune of: "The Battle Hymn of
the Republic")
Visiting the dentist is an easy thing to do
The dentist is a special friend who
helps take care of you
He checks your teeth and gums
to be sure everything's just right,
So your smile will be bright!
Brush and floss your teeth each day!
Brush and floss your teeth each day!
Brush and floss your teeth each day!
So your smile will be bright!

I Had a Loose Tooth
I had a loose tooth,
a wiggly, jiggly loose tooth.
I had a loose tooth,
hanging by a thread.
So I pulled my loose tooth,
this wiggly, jiggly loose tooth.
And put it 'neath the pillow
when I went up to bed.
The fairies took my loose tooth,
my wiggly, jiggly loose tooth.
So now I have a nickel
and a hole in my head.

Brush Your Teeth
(Sung to the tune of: "Jingle Bells")
Brush your teeth,
Brush your teeth,
Give your teeth a treat.
Brush up and down and all around,
To keep them clean and neat!
Brush them once,
Brush them twice,
Brush three times a day.
Brush up and down and all around,
Keep cavities away!

Brush Your Teeth
(Sung to the tune of: "This Old Man")

To help prevent tooth decay
Brush your teeth to make your smile

Brush them morning, noon, and night.

Swish the Fluoride
(Sung to the tune of: "Are You Sleeping?")
Swish with fluoride, swish with fluoride
Round and round, round and round.

Fluoride makes your teeth strong.
All year long. All year long.

My Wobbly Tooth
Once I had a wobbly tooth
That wobbled to and fro,
Every time I
ate my toast
I thought the tooth would go.
But then I ate a candy,
A sticky toffee roll,
Now where my wobbly
tooth was
There's nothing but a hole!
|
My Toothbrush
I have a little toothbrush.
I hold it very tight.
I brush my teeth each morning,
and then again at night.
I go brush, brush, brush
And rinse, rinse, rinse,
And then when
they're all clean
I will blow you a kiss.

Brushing
(Sung to the tune of: "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star")
Here's my toothpaste
Here's my brush
I won't hurry, I won't rush.
Working hard to keep teeth clean
Front and back and in between
When I brush for quite a while
I will have a happy smile.

Tooth Fairy & My Tooth
I have a little space in the middle of my face
And in that space,
there used
to be a tooth.
It was little, it was white, and it just fell out one night.
And a fairy came and took it - that's the truth!
The fairy left me money when she took my tooth away-
Took it from the pillow it was under.
What do fairies want with teeth they get from underneath
My pillow
as I'm
sleeping?
That, I wonder!

Brushing My Teeth
Up and down and round and round
I brush my teeth to keep them
sound;
To keep
them sound and clean and white
I brush them morning, noon and
night.

Brush & Chew
Out with the baby teeth
In with the new
Brush every day
And CHEW,
CHEW, CHEW!

Ten Little Teeth
Ten little teeth in a smile so bright.
One got a cavity and then there were nine.
Nine little teeth all looking great.
One got a cavity and then there were eight.
Eight little teeth all straight and even.
One got a cavity and then there were seven.
Seven little teeth all clean and slick.
One got a cavity and then there were six.
Six little teeth all side by side.
One got a cavity and then there were five.
Five little teeth nibble on an apple core.
One got a cavity and then there were four.
Four little teeth, happy as can be.
One got a cavity and then there were three.
Three little teeth looking right at you.
One got a cavity and then there were two.
Two little teeth think brushing's fun.
One got a cavity and then there was one.
One little tooth left all alone.
It got a cavity and then there were none.

Brushing Fun
Brush up like a rocket.
Brush down like a plane.
Brush round and round
like a choo-choo train.
My Wobbly Tooth
I bit my apple
And what do you think?
My wobbly tooth
Came out in a wink.
If I put it under my pillow tonight,
Will the tooth fairy come
When I turn
out the light?
Lost Tooth
Oh, I lost a tooth,
Whatever shall I do?
I'm left with a window and my tongue is sticking through.
I laugh and I giggle each time I look at you!
Oh, I lost a tooth
Whatever shall I do?

Dentist
I have tools that help to make
Those cavity creeps take a break.
So come to see me twice a year,
Just walk right in-there's nothing to fear.
I'll check your teeth and make them shine,
And your teeth will stay happy, healthy, and fine.

A Toothbrush
(Sung to the tune of: "Yankee Doodle")
Of all things around the town,
A toothbrush is a dandy,
brush up and down and all around,
and stay away from candy!

My Tooth
My tooth fell out and left a space
So big my tongue can touch my face,
And every time I smile I show
The place where something used to grow.
I miss my tooth as you can guess
But now I have to brush one less!
I will put my tooth in a pouch
And on the pillow lay to sleep
In the morning I will peep
And find a gift for me to keep.

Charlie is a Happy Tooth
(Sung to the tune of: "London Bridge")

He wants to stay that way!
Keep your teeth healthy too, healthy too, healthy too
Keep your teeth healthy too.
Just like Charlie Tooth!"

My Mithing Tooth
I'm having trouble thpeaking,
Thinthe I lotht my middle tooth.
Jutht yethterday my tooth wath fine --
Today it wiggled loothe.
At firtht I thought it thilly,
When my tooth fell out today,
But no one theems to underthtand
A thingle word I thay.
I athked my mom to clothe the door,
She thaid "That would be rude.
The door does not like wearing clothes;
It's happy in the nude."
I told her that I thought I thaw
A mouthe inthide our plathe.
She thaid "the only mouth I see
Is right there on your face."
I wonder if you underthtand
The thircumthtanthe I'm in.
I told her I wath feeling thick.
She thaid "You're looking thin."
At latht she thaw how mad I wath,
And thought I might thtop breathing.
She laughed and thaid she didn't mean it --
She wath only teething.

Brush Your Teeth
Brush your teeth every day.
This what I always say.
Eat healthy foods, not too sweet-
Save them for a special treat.

Your Teeth Are Important
Your teeth are important - they help you to chew,
They help you to
smile and
say, "How do you do?"
Be sure to take care of them morning and night
By brushing and
flossing,
you'll keep your teeth bright.

Wiggly Tooth
Once I had a little tooth
That wobbled every day;
When I ate and when I talked
It wiggled every way.
Then I had some candy-
A sticky taffy roll;
Now where my wiggly tooth was-
Is nothing but a hole!
A tooth fell out and left a space,
So big my tongue can touch my face.
And every time I smile I show
A space where something used to grow.
I miss my tooth as you can guess.
But then, I love to brush one less!
I jiggled it, jaggled it, jerked it,
I pushed and pulled and poked it,
But as soon as I stopped,
And left it alone
My tooth came out
On its very own

The Toothbrush Song
(Sung to the tune of: "Row, Row, Row Your Boat")
Brush, brush, brush your teeth
Brush them everyday.
We put toothpaste on our brush
To help stop tooth decay.
Floss, floss, floss your teeth.
Floss them every day!
Using the string to clean between
Keeps the plaque away!
Clean, clean, clean your teeth.
Clean them every day!
Your teeth will sparkle for years to come
In the most beautiful
way!
Brush, brush, brush your teeth.
Brush them every day!
Happy, healthy teeth you'll have
If it's done this way.

Little Johnny's
Toothbrush
Little Johnny had a toothbrush
Left it hanging on
the wall
And
it hung there and hung there
For he used it not at all
Til one day at the table
He began to scream and cry
Mother dear I
have a
toothache
Mother dear, I think I'll die
So she took him to the dentist
But the dentist shook his head
"It's too late
for Little Johnny"
"He should have brushed his teeth."
Brushing
(Sung to the tune of: "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star")
Here's my toothpaste
Here's my brush
I won't hurry, I won't rush.
Working hard to keep teeth clean
Front and back and in between
When I brush
for quite a while
I will have a happy smile.

My Teeth
Can you see my teeth?
I use them to chew.
I chew things like carrots
so my teeth stay like new.
Can you see my teeth?
I use them to bite.
I bite things like apples
so my teeth will stay white.
Can you see my teeth?
I use them to speak.
I say "t" and "f"
every day of the week.
Can you see my teeth?
I use them to smile.
I brush until my grin is as wide as a mile!

Although He Didn't
Like the Taste
Although he didn't like the taste,
George brushed his teeth with
pickle paste.
Not ever was his mouth so clean,
Not ever were his teeth so green.
Tooth Truth
I have a little space in the middle of my face.
And in that space, there used to be a tooth.
It was little, it was white, and it just fell out one night,
And a fairy came and took it - that's the truth!
The fairy left me money when she took my tooth away-
Took it from the pillow it was under.
What do fairies want with teeth
that they get from underneath
My pillow as I'm sleeping? That, I wonder.
