Brush!
>> NARRATOR: Dani has had a really big week! First she lost a tooth, then she had to figure out what the big kid dentist does, then she had a wild dream and then she met a talking fish! And now …
>> DENTIST: Hey Dani, I’m your dentist Dr. Rachel! Time to come on back - follow me!
>> DANI: [To herself, confidently] I’ve got this, I’ve got this!
>> DENTIST: Sorry what did you say?
>> DANI: Oh nothing!
>> DENTIST: Ok! Hop up into this chair and we’ll get started! Ok so you’ve lost your first tooth huh?
>> DANI: I did!
>> DENTIST: And did it bleed?
>> DANI: A little.
>> DENTIST: That’s normal. So now you know what to expect when you lose other baby teeth!
>> DANI: Yeah, I’m pretty brave.
Switch your brushing to the other side of the top of your mouth and don’t forget your molars in the back!
>> DENTIST: Ok Dani, I’m going to be using some special tools to make sure your mouth is clean and healthy! You might hear some funny sounds, but I’ll explain everything as I go. Ready?
>> DANI: Ready!
>> DENTIST: Ok, first I’m going to look at each of your teeth. Here we go!
>> DANI: What’s that sound?!!
Switch your brushing to the bottom of your mouth and spit if you need to.
>> DENTIST: That was a SCALER! It’s a tool that I use to remove tartar, this gunk that builds up on your teeth. Now I’m going to give your teeth a polish!
>> DANI: What’s that sound?!!
>> DENTIST: Well I’m POLISHING your teeth, so what do you think that tool is called?
>> DANI: A … polisher?
>> DENTIST: Yeah, that’s right! But oops, you’re drooling a little!
>> DANI: Oh sorry!
>> DENTIST: No worries, that’s totally normal! But I think I should use one more tool here.
>> DANI: What’s that sound?!!
Switch your brushing to the other side of your mouth and make sure you’re brushing the inside, outside and chewing side of every tooth!
>> DENTIST: That sound is a suction tool - it’s called a SALIVA EJECTOR.
>> DANI: [Mouth full and muffled] A saliva ejector?
>> DENTIST: It’s just a tool we use to clear out water and spit and polish and whatever gunk is in your mouth so it’s easier to do the check-up. And now you’re all done!
>> DANI: Wow that’s it?!
>> DENTIST: Yup! Not every dentist appointment is the same - sometimes we take pictures of your teeth with an x-ray machine. Sometimes we put some medicine on your teeth to prevent cavities … but I just wanted to check and see how your mouth is doing now that you’ve lost a tooth, and things look great. I think you’ll see that big kid tooth come into the gap where your baby tooth was any day now!
>> DANI: Thank you!
>> DENTIST: That’s all for your dental appointment today - I can tell you’ve done a great job brushing … now all that’s left to do is …
