[Chorus]
We're your teeth, we’re your teeth
Your Digestive System's star
We hope you listen well
And you learn just who we are
[Verse 1]
When you're a newborn baby, you may have Natal Teeth
This only occurs in one in 2,000 to 3,000 babies
A child’s mouth has two rows on the bottom and the top
You can only see 20 before adult teeth make the swap
You'll have 32 adult teeth by the young age of 13
But there are only 28 without your Wisdom Teeth, you see
Teeth are part of the Skeletal System though they are not bone
We play a key rolе in digestion to chew food's while wе're growing
[Chorus]
We're your teeth, we're your teeth
Your Digestive System's star
We hope you listen well
And you learn just who we are
[Verse 2]
You only have four different types of teeth in your whole mouth
Here are their names front to back and from north down to the south
Incisors are like scissors 'cause they cut your food in half
They’re in the front of your mouth you see all eight when you laugh
Then we see your Canines there are only four you know
Two are at the top and two more are in the jaw down below
Pre-Molars are the next teeth that we will be looking at
There are eight in total to help you start to chew up all that fat
Molars are your biggest teeth and the last to chew your food
There are 12 inside your mouth, this fact is very true
[Chorus]
We’re your teeth, we're your teeth
Your Digestive System’s star
We hope you listen well
And you learn just who we are
[Verse 3]
The anatomy of your teeth shown in this here photograph
First, we'll look at the Crown, the tooth's visible top half
Enamel is the outer part of all the teeth in your mouth
It's the hardest part of your body but if not brush it will rot out
Here you see the Dentin below your Enamel closure
It’s a hard dense bony tissue that protects your Pulp Chamber
Yeah, your Pulp Chamber houses the important Root Canal
Inside the Root Canal are the Nerves and Vessels main Locale
If all these top layers of your teeth do decay
The infection could be fatal so please brush twice a day
[Chorus]
We're your teeth, we're your teeth
Your Digestive System's star
We hope you listen well
And you learn just who we are
We're your teeth, we're your teeth
Your Digestive System's star
We hope you listen well
And you learn just who we are
