Life Cycles of the Teeth
Gums
Then teething
Then chewing on toys
Gums
Then hurting
Then crying and making noise
Baby teeth fall out
And make room
For big teeth to sprout
Don’t forget to keep them clean
Brush and floss
In hopes they will look pristine
After years of abuse and candy
Nothing will make them feel better,
Except for a shot of Brandy
Then comes the root canal and crown
Cavities and fillings
You have let your teeth down
The pain grows with every bite
Big teeth fall out
You endure the pain with all your might
You will lose them, when the time comes
And at the end of the cycle
You are back to the gums
