Lyrics
I (F)brush my teeth and look in the mir ror,
as and (F)laugh out loud as I’m beam ing from ear to ear.
I’d rath er pick (F)flow ers
in stead of fights,
and and rath er than flaunt my style, fit, I’d flash you a smile
of clean, pearl y whites.
I’ve been to the den tist a thou sand times, so I know the drill:
I smooth my hair, sit back in the chair, but some how I (F)still get the chills.
(F)“Have a seat,” he says pleas ant ly, ror,
as he (F)shakes my hand as and prac tic ’lly laughs at me.
“O pen nice and (F)wide,” ers
he says, peer ing
and with a he says, “Don’t have a fit, this ’ll pinch a bit,“
as he not to grin.
I’ve been to the den tist a thou sand times, so I know the drill:
I smooth my hair, sit back in the chair, but some how I (F)still get the chills.
(F)When hy (C)gien ists (F)leave on (C)long va (G)ca tions, (F)that’s when (C)den tists (F)scream and (C)lose their (G)“pa tients.” Talk ing (Am7)on ly (F)brings the (C)tooth aches on, be cause (Am7)I say the (F)stup id est things.
So if my re (Am7)solve goes south, I’ll (C)swal low my pride with an as p’rin and (F)shut my mouth.
Golf and al co hol don’t mix, and that’s (G6)why I don’t drink and drive,
be cause, good grief, I’d knock out my teeth and have to (C)kiss my (F)smile good bye.
I’ve been to the den tist a thou sand times, so I know the drill:
I smooth my hair, sit (D7)back in the chair, but some how I (F)still get the chills.

Questions about this song (13)
- Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Dental Care"?
- Yes — the score is rendered server-side from the publisher MusicXML using Verovio (the same engine RISM and OpenScore use). Standard piano notation, treble + bass staves, real chord symbols, key signature C. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
- What key is "Dental Care" by Owl City played in?
- Dental Care is arranged in the key of C on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
- What's the tempo (BPM) of "Dental Care"?
- The arrangement plays at 138 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
- Is "Dental Care" easy to play on piano?
- This is a medium-difficulty arrangement. Most players can learn it within a few practice sessions using the speed control.

- Who composed "Dental Care"?

- Try "FIREFLIES", "Fireflies", "GOOD TIME". All are in our player with color-coded notes; pick the one matching your level.
- Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
- Yes — "Dental Care" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature C, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
- What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
- Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
- Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
- Yes — slow the tempo from 138 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
- Why can I click a note in the score?
- Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
- Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
- Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
