280+ Tooth-rific Teeth Puns That’ll Make You Grin

Teeth are the only bones you show off in photos, which is a lot of pressure for 32 tiny calcium employees. They chew, they grin, they betray you the moment you eat caramel. And yet we rarely thank them, unless you count the twice-daily brushing you definitely do for the full two minutes. Today, we honor teeth the only way that matters: 280 jokes.

Whether you need a tooth fairy note that is not completely terrible, a dentist waiting-room icebreaker, or a birthday card for someone who just got braces, we have flossed out 280+ teeth puns: one-liners, tooth fairy jokes, dentist zingers, and names so clean they squeak. Some of these are genuinely clever. The rest need a root canal. You will love both anyway.
