Have you ever wondered what makes your teeth so special? Let’s dive into the world of teeth and discover how they work and why they are important. This fun and catchy song will help you understand the different parts of your teeth and how to take care of them.
Your teeth are amazing! They are calcified, which means they are hard and strong, perfect for chewing food. Each tooth has two main parts: the crown, which is the part you see, and the root, which is hidden under your gums. Teeth are grouped into different types, each with a special job:
Your upper teeth are attached to the maxilla, and your lower teeth are attached to the mandible. Together, they make up a full set of 32 teeth!
Each tooth is made up of several layers:
All these parts work together to help you chew and eat a variety of foods, making you an omnivore, which means you eat both plants and animals.
Brushing your teeth is important to prevent cavities and plaque, a sticky film of bacteria. Fluoride in toothpaste helps strengthen enamel through a process called remineralization. Most mammals, including humans, have two sets of teeth in their lifetime: baby teeth and permanent teeth.
To keep your teeth healthy, brush twice a day and floss regularly. This helps prevent tooth decay and gum disease, which can cause pain and sensitivity. If you don’t clean your teeth, bacteria can cause plaque and acid buildup, leading to problems like gingivitis.
Remember, taking care of your teeth is important for your overall health. So keep brushing and flossing, and your teeth will stay strong and healthy!
Teeth are fascinating and play a crucial role in our daily lives. By understanding how they work and how to care for them, you can keep your smile bright and healthy. So sing along, learn about your teeth, and share your newfound knowledge with friends and family!
Use clay or playdough to create a model of a tooth. Make sure to include the different parts like the enamel, dentin, cementum, and pulp. Label each part and explain its function to your classmates.
Design a matching game where you match different types of teeth (incisors, canines, bicuspids, molars) with their functions. Create cards with pictures of each tooth type and cards with descriptions of their functions. Mix them up and see how fast you can match them correctly!
Create a colorful poster that shows the best practices for taking care of your teeth. Include tips on brushing, flossing, and foods that are good for dental health. Display your poster in the classroom to remind everyone of the importance of dental hygiene.
Organize a trivia quiz about teeth. Prepare questions based on the information from the article, such as the structure of a tooth, types of teeth, and fun facts. Challenge your classmates to see who knows the most about teeth!
Write your own version of the Teeth Song by including facts and tips about dental care. Perform it for your class or record it to share with friends and family. Use the song to help remember important information about your teeth.

– Thank you all for listening and watching. We want to send a huge thank you to Sensodyne for sponsoring this video and allowing us to continue making fun, educational science videos. They recently released a new product called Sensodyne Sensitivity and Gum, which is a dual-action toothpaste that relieves sensitivity but also improves gum health.
– I, along with 40% of people, experience sensitive teeth. Most of the time when I’m eating something very cold or very hot. As shown in this song, when tooth enamel wears away over time, especially over long periods, it can expose a soft inner part of your tooth called dentin. This dentin has thousands of microscopic channels that run towards the nerves and the tooth’s center. Certain triggers can actually travel through these channels and stimulate the nerve, causing that short, sharp pain that we know as tooth sensitivity.
– Sensodyne Sensitivity and Gum not only builds a protective barrier over the sensitive areas, but it also targets and removes plaque, which helps swollen or bleeding gums. Oftentimes, gum problems are associated with sensitivity. So for people who experience both, it’s a great product.
– Sponsors like this allow us to keep making content and sharing science and education with people around the world. So we are very thankful to Sensodyne. Go check them out. I mean, I personally use Sensodyne every single day. We’ll leave links in the description below.
– Thanks again for watching and singing along. Send us videos of you singing them.
– Yeah, send us videos of you singing it and learning about your teeth.
– And we’ll see you next time for another science video.

This version maintains the educational content while removing any informal or promotional language that may not be suitable for all audiences.
Teeth – Hard structures in the mouth used for biting and chewing food. – Example sentence: “Humans have different types of teeth, such as incisors and molars, to help them eat a variety of foods.”
Enamel – The hard, outer layer of a tooth that protects it from damage. – Example sentence: “Brushing your teeth twice a day helps keep the enamel strong and healthy.”
Dentin – The layer of a tooth beneath the enamel that is softer and contains tiny tubes. – Example sentence: “If the enamel wears away, the dentin can become sensitive to hot and cold foods.”
Cementum – A layer of material that covers the tooth root and helps anchor it in the jawbone. – Example sentence: “Cementum is important for keeping the tooth stable and connected to the gums.”
Pulp – The soft tissue inside a tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels. – Example sentence: “If a cavity reaches the pulp, it can cause a toothache and may require a visit to the dentist.”
Brushing – The act of cleaning teeth with a toothbrush and toothpaste to remove food particles and plaque. – Example sentence: “Brushing your teeth regularly is important for maintaining good oral hygiene.”
Cavities – Holes in the teeth caused by decay from bacteria and acids. – Example sentence: “Eating too much sugar can lead to cavities, so it’s important to brush your teeth after meals.”
Plaque – A sticky film of bacteria that forms on teeth and can lead to cavities and gum disease. – Example sentence: “Flossing helps remove plaque from between the teeth where a toothbrush can’t reach.”
Decay – The process of a tooth breaking down due to bacteria and acids, leading to cavities. – Example sentence: “Tooth decay can be prevented by maintaining a healthy diet and practicing good oral hygiene.”
Gums – The soft tissue that surrounds and supports the teeth. – Example sentence: “Healthy gums are pink and firm, and they help protect the roots of your teeth.”
