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
