When we had kids and they started getting teeth, we had to figure out how to brush them. It’s not the easiest thing to keep a toddler occupied and interested. We had learned early on that we should be brushing their teeth until they are 7 or 8.
One day when I was brushing, I started singing, and between Stephen and me, a song eventually emerged. It’s now sung at least twice a day.
So, I asked Stephen to help me type of the words to “The Toothbrush Song”. Nick has a dentist appointment this week and I hope the song is paying off.
(Sung to the tune of “Here We Go ‘Round the Mulberry Bush”. I scrub 1/3 of the upper or lower arch with each verse, so that every tooth gets its share of brushing by the time the song is done. – Stephen)
The is the way we brush our teeth,
Brush our teeth, brush our teeth.
This is the way we brush our teeth,
To make them clean and shiny.
Isn’t it fun to brush our teeth,
Brush our teeth, brush our teeth?
Isn’t it fun to brush our teeth,
And make them clean and shiny?
Because we don’t want cavities,
Cavities, cavities.
No, we don’t want cavities,
So we’ll make them clean and shiny.
So we’ll brush away yucky plaque,
Yucky plaque, yucky plaque.
Yes, we’ll brush away yucky plaque,
And we’ll make them clean and shiny.
The is the way we brush our teeth,
Brush our teeth, brush our teeth.
This is the way we brush our teeth,
To make them clean and shiny.
Isn’t it fun to brush our teeth,
Brush our teeth, brush our teeth?
Isn’t it fun to brush our teeth,
And make them clean and shiny?
The end.
