- Hi, neighbor! Today,

I'm going to visit
our new dentist: Dr. Plat!

That's a doctor
for your teeth.

- OK, my little tiger,
it's time to brush your teeth.

- OK! You come, too!

(Daniel humming)
(lively music)

- Alright, let's set
our brushing timer.

Ready, set, brush!

My turn! We have to make sure
we scrub away those germs!

Brusha, brusha, brusha,
brush your teeth.

(Ding!)
Good brushing, Daniel!

Dr. Plat will be glad that
you brush your teeth so well.

- I like brushing my teeth.

It makes my teeth feel
smooth and clean!

- Alright, let's get going!
To the dentist!

- To the dentist!

Have you ever been

- Today, Dr. Plat is going
to look inside your mouth

to make sure
your teeth are healthy,

so you'll need
to sit still

and open your mouth
really wide

and do a quiet roar.

- Open your mouth
and do a quiet roar.

(softly): Roaaar.

(both laughing)

Can you do a quiet roar?

(softly): Roaaar.

(Ding! Ding!)

Thanks, Trolley!

- This is the waiting room
where we... wait!

- We wait here?

Woooah! Dr. Plat has

a Tigey, the adventure tiger
picture on the wall...

and lots of toys!

Hello, Mr. Dino!
Do you like brushing your teeth?

(giggling)
How about you, Puffer Fish?

(chuckling)

Hey...

do you want
to make-believe with me?

Let's make-believe
that we're dentists.

Alright, everyone,
let's hear your quiet roar.

Open up wide!

- Hello, Dr. Plat.

- Would you like
to be a dentist, too?

You can check
Mr. Dino's teeth

while I check yours.
- What do these tools do?

- I'll show you.
Come into my office!

- Woah! I like that light!

- Thanks. You and Mr. Dino
get to sit in that chair.

- We sit there?!
- Haha! Yep, you sure do.

- Comfy!

- I'm going to lean
the chair back

so I can see
inside your mouth.

- Woah! Mr. Dino likes
the chair, too.

(Dr. Platt chuckling)
Is... is this a bib?

Um, my baby sister Margaret
wears a bib.

- Hmm... Well, everyone
wears a bib at the dentist,

even grown-ups! It keeps
your clothes super clean

and super dry
while I check your teeth.

Now I'll put on my gloves.
(Dr. Platt chuckling)

Gloves keep your mouth
and my fingers clean.

And the mask keeps us
from getting germs.

I look different,
but it's still me.

Hello there.
(both chuckling)

Now, I'm going
to brush your teeth

to get all
those hard-to-reach spots,

so you stay healthy.
Dentist Daniel, you brush

Mr. Dino's teeth, please.

This is a little mirror I use

to look at all sides
of your teeth.

- Look! I have a toy one!
- Perfect!

Daniel, can you open
your mouth wide?

- (softly): Roooar!

- Ho ho! I love
that quiet roar.

Oh! Nice teeth!

I see you've been brushing
really carefully.

Your teeth are
nice and strong.

- (garbled): I brush my teeth
in the morning.

- I know it's hard to talk
while I'm checking your teeth.

What did you say?
- I brush my teeth

in the morning
and at bedtime, too.

My mom and dad help me.
- I like to hear that!

Now, I'm going to use
this special toothbrush

that cleans the plaque
off your teeth.

- "Plaque"?
- Yup.

It's made up of all of the germs
that are on your teeth.

My tooth polisher
will get them all,

even the germs
that are really hard to reach.

- Germs? Yuck!

(whirring noise)
Does it hurt?

- No. It actually tickles
a little. Feel it.

(chuckling)

- It does tickle!

- Now, it's time for me
to clean your teeth,

and you get
to choose the flavor

of your toothpaste.
Would you like

vanilla or berry stripe mint?
- Hmmm...

What flavor would you choose?

I choose...
berry stripe mint!

- Berry stripe mint,
my favorite.

Now, this is
my special toothpaste.

It's bumpier than the toothpaste
you use at home.

Alright, here we go.

If you have a question while
I clean, just raise your paw.

- Like this?
- Exactly.

Now please do
your quiet roar again.

- (softly): Roar!
(whirring noise)

Are you OK, Daniel?
- Yeah...

It feels different,
and the tool is warm.

- You're right, Daniel,
it does feel a little different

than the one you use at home.
And my tool is warm,

but I'll wash your mouth out
with nice cold water

once I'm done polishing.
Ready for me to start again?

- Ready! Open your mouth

and do a quiet roar.
(softly): Roar!
