Absolutely, using toothbrushing songs is a fantastic way to add fun and structure to the toothbrushing routine for kids. Here are a few toothbrushing songs you can sing along with your child to make the experience enjoyable:
- “Brush, Brush, Brush Your Teeth” (To the tune of “Row, Row, Row Your Boat”)
Brush, brush, brush your teeth,
Gently ’round the gum.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Brushing is so fun. - “This Is the Way We Brush Our Teeth” (Traditional Tune)
This is the way we brush our teeth,
Brush our teeth, brush our teeth.
This is the way we brush our teeth,
Early in the morning. - “The Toothbrush Song” (To the tune of “London Bridge Is Falling Down”)
This is the way we brush our teeth,
Brush our teeth, brush our teeth.
This is the way we brush our teeth,
So early in the morning. - “Brush Your Teeth” (To the tune of “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”)
Brush, brush, brush your teeth,
Twice a day to keep them neat.
Up and down, and side to side,
Brush your teeth, don’t let them hide. - “Toothbrush Boogie” (Original Tune)
Grab your toothbrush, let’s begin,
Time to make those teeth shine in.
Brush them up and brush them down,
Keep them clean, you’re on your own. - “Happy Brushing” (To the tune of “If You’re Happy and You Know It”)
If you’re ready for your brush, give a smile.
If you’re ready for your brush, give a smile.
If you’re ready for your brush, then it’s time to rush,
If you’re ready for your brush, give a smile. - “Brush Away the Sugar Bugs” (Original Tune)
Brush away the sugar bugs,
With your toothbrush, give them shrugs.
Up and down and all around,
Keep your teeth healthy, you’re safe and sound.
Feel free to adapt these songs to your child’s preferences, and even come up with your own creative toothbrushing lyrics. Incorporating songs can turn toothbrushing into a joyful activity and help ensure that your child brushes for the recommended two minutes.
