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.

Are You Swishing?

(Sung to:  "Are You Sleeping?")
Swish with fluoride, swish with fluoride
Round and round, round and round.
Fluoride makes your teeth strong.
Fluoride makes your teeth strong.
All year long.  All year long.

Flannel Board Story

Make 2 teeth one white and with a happy face the other discolored with a sad face.........

Gleep and Glump

Gleep is a happy tooth;
He's as strong and white as he can be.
He gets plenty of the right foods
And is brushed regularly.

Now.......

Glump is a very sad tooth.
I'm afraid he has a big cavity.
He got it because he didn't eat the right foods,
And he didn't brush properly.

Now......

If you don't want to have any glumps
And only have gleeps,
Remember to eat all the right foods

And brush after you eat!

Brush that Food Away

Paint a picture of a mouth on a cookie sheet with the teeth showing through the lips.  Place small pictures of food onto magnetic strips.  Place the magnetic food onto the teeth.  Demonstrate how the food sticks to the teeth and brushing helps the deposits be removed.  The magnets stick quite well and this shows the children that brushing is not a quick job.
