Switch your brushing to the other side of the top of your mouth! Make little circles with your toothbrush, over your entire tooth!
Snakes come in all shapes, sizes and colors, and can be found on every continent except for Antarctica.
Snakes never have to brush their teeth, because snakes don’t chew their food. Snakes can stretch their jaws WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDE open, so they can swallow their food whole!
