Total: __ missing teeth!  (and counting.....)

If a first grader loses their tooth at school they get a tooth box, a tooth sticker, a tooth award, and a tooth sticker to put on our chart.  If your child loses their tooth at home, please have them let me know so I can have them add a sticker to our chart.  Contrary to what some of the first graders say, I do not need to see their tooth (you can leave that for the tooth fairy).  :)

Teeth Poems and Songs

I Brush My Teeth

(Jingle Bells)

I brush my teeth, I brush my teeth,

Morning, noon, and night.

I brush them, floss them, rinse them clean,

I keep them nice and white.

I brush them once, I brush them twice,

I brush them till they shine.

I always brush them up and down

Those precious teeth of mine.

I eat good foods, I eat good foods,

I give my teeth a treat.

I always eat fruits, breads and milk,

Vegetables and meat.

If I eat sweets, if I eat sweets,

I brush right away

To keep my teeth shiny bright,

And free from tooth decay.

A Toothbrush

(Yankee Doodle)

Of all the things around the town

A toothbrush is a dandy

Brush up and down and all around

And stay away from candy!

Little Tommy Toothbrush

(Eensy Weensy Spider)

Little Tommy Toothbrush

Had a big job to do.

He spread himself with toothpaste

And jumped up to scrub a tooth.

He scrubbed and scrubbed the germs away

To prevent tooth decay.

Then Little Tommy Toothbrush

Jumped down and said "Hooray!"

Got My Toothpaste

(Twinkle Twinkle)

Got my toothpaste, got my brush,

I won't hurry, I won't rush.

Making sure my teeth are clean,

Front and back and in between.

When I brush for quite a while,

I will have a happy smile.

by: Frank Dally

Healthy Teeth

Did you brush your teeth today?

It's the thing to do.

Clean teeth will stay healthy

And work better, too.

You will chew food easily,

Flash a shiny smile.

Showing off your healthy teeth,

You'll always be in style.

MY WOBBLY TOOTH

Once I had a wobbly tooth

That wobbled to and fro

Everytime I ate my toast

I thought the tooth would go.

But then I ate a candy,

A sticky toffee roll,

Now where my wobble tooth was

There's nothing but a hole!

This Tooth

I jiggled it

jaggled it

jerked it.

I pushed

and pulled

and poked it.

But --

As soon as I stopped,

and left it alone

this tooth came out

on its very own!

My 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.
