Why Do I Have to Brush My Teeth?

Brushing your teeth is important

And not just for your breath

It keeps your teeth healthy and tough

Cause in your mouth there's living stuff called

Bacteria (That's a mouthful)

Just there hanging out all day

It sounds kinda icky, but it's really no biggie

For the most part they're okay

Now when you eat your food goes down

But some itty bits just stick around

And when bacteria digest it

It forms a sticky film

You guessed it, that's plaque

You gotta fight back

You gotta brush away that plaque

You gotta fight back

Cause even though enamel's tough

If the plaque's their long enough

Eventually it wears the whole way through

They call that hole a cavity

And dentists all agree

That's a bummer too

So here's what you gotta do

You gotta brush that plaque

You gotta fight back

So brush and floss your gums and teeth
