Brush Brush Brush your teeth poem
Brush, brush, brush your teeth
To keep them shiny, bright, and neat
Up and down, and all around
Spit the foam and rinse it down
You’ll have a happy, healthy smile
If you brush your teeth for a little while
So let’s grab our toothbrush and paste
And brush those teeth with no haste
Don’t forget the back and sides
Where sugar bugs like to hide
Brush them well, every day
And you’ll keep tooth decay away
Now your teeth are sparkling clean
The cleanest teeth you’ve ever seen
You did a great job, my little friend
Brushing teeth is easy, let’s do it again!
