Santa Had a Toothache

Santa had a toothache, but who could he tell?
Was there a current dentist living down in the dell?
Rudolph figured out something was wrong and asked him what.
I don’t like to complain, Santa said, but…..
I have a toothache, and it’s not going away.
Rudolph took him to a veterinarian dentist that very day.
I have never seen such little teeth, this vet dentist said.
But I can pull that problem right out of your head.
Santa said yes, and they packed his gum with ice.
Now he always confides in Rudolph, which is very nice.

I think so...and a tooth is a tooth is a tooth, and if it needs to come out, well, it's a tooth without a roof!

My mom had really soft teeth, but I inherited my teeth from my dad, thankfully. I have strong teeth, but I also do see a dentist regularly (although I hate to go!)
