Kids in Hong Kong are taught this 刷牙歌 Brushing Teeth Song together very early on, making teeth brushing a fun activity
The song stresses the importance of brushing teeth (to keep them clean and healthy), how to brush (up and down) , frequency (day and night).
This song is also sung to the tune of This Old Man, just like 123 Number Song 數字歌.
