[Kids’ Toothbrushing Song] Make brushing fun! Popular toothbrushing songs

Cavity Construction Co., Ltd.okaasan to issho

Mushiba Construction Co., Ltd. / With Mother (Covered by UtaSta) [Make Brushing Teeth Fun!]

This is a song that has been sung since 1995 on “Okaasan to Issho,” broadcast on NHK’s E-Tele.

In the lyrics, cavity-causing bacteria are the protagonists, working inside the mouth.

The sweets and tasty foods everyone loves are also favorites of these bacteria.

Just like in the song, they might use tools to drill holes in your teeth! The lyrics can be a bit scary, but they help young children easily imagine what happens when you get cavities.

If you encourage them by saying, “Let’s hurry and brush before the cavity construction crew arrives,” they might start brushing on their own!

Glittering Teethshinako

[MV] Hara Hara 🦷🪥✨

This song, which makes it fun to learn the importance of brushing your teeth, features a lively rhythm and catchy melody with para para dance elements.

It playfully combines the thrill of the dangers of not brushing with the word for teeth to create the phrase “hara-hara” with a toothy twist, and comically depicts cavity pain as “jin-jin” and “zuki-zuki.” Released in October 2024, it went viral on social media and has grown popular, especially among young people.

With a bright tone that makes daily toothbrushing something to look forward to, it’s a fun track that kids—and parents and teachers alike—can sing along to and dance to together.

Toothbrushing Song: Goro-Goro-kunshimajirou

Toothbrushing Song: Goro-Goro-kun [Shimajiro Channel Official]

From the popular kids’ channel “Shimajiro,” here’s a song where a character named Gorogoro-kun brushes his teeth together with his mom.

There are quite a few little ones who hate brushing and run away, right? In this song, Gorogoro-kun rolls over onto his mother’s lap to have his teeth brushed.

For children who struggle with brushing, it might help to play this song and practice placing their head on a caregiver’s lap, like Gorogoro-kun, and brushing one tooth at a time.

If you have the bandwidth, caregivers can sing along while brushing to make toothbrushing more fun!

Tooth Brushing ExerciseHyōgo-ken Shika Ishikai

Hyogo Dental Association “Toothbrushing Exercise”

This song is actually a tooth-brushing tune created by dental specialists from the Hyogo Dental Association.

Instead of detailing specific brushing techniques, it focuses on messages like “Why do we need to brush our teeth?” and “Let’s make brushing a daily habit!”—so I think it’s perfect as an introduction.

As the title ‘Hamigaki Taiso’ (Tooth-Brushing Exercise) suggests, the association’s character, Denta-kun, sings about tooth brushing while dancing, treating brushing like an exercise.

Toothbrushing Rhythm♪haguku mōshon

Toothbrushing Song: 'Brushing Rhythm♪' Open your mouth wide and say 'ahh'

This is the tooth-brushing song from the channel “Hagukumotion,” which shares content about early childhood development and education.

As the title “Brushing Rhythm” suggests, it has a bright, upbeat tempo that makes you feel like, “It’s time to brush my teeth!” Even if you can’t brush very well yet, brushing along to the music can make it fun—and might make you think, “Brushing my teeth is fun!” I believe habit is very important for tooth brushing, and this song is perfect for helping build that habit.

Toothbrushing SongŌsugi Kumiko

Brushing Teeth Song

There have always been songs about brushing your teeth, no matter the era, haven’t there? This particular track used to play on the Asahi Broadcasting radio show “Ohayō Personality Yozo Michikami desu.” Hearing a toothbrushing song on a morning radio program really puts you in a crisp, refreshed mood, doesn’t it? It’s said to have aired in the early 1980s (the first half of the Showa 50s), and it’s the quintessential Showa-era children’s song—but maybe that very quality will sound fresh to kids today! It’s the perfect tune for when you wake up, before heading out, or whenever you want to reset your mindset.
