[THEME SONG BEGINS]

>>RACHEL: Welcome back, it’s time for Chompers your morning and night toothbrushing show. 

Start brushing on the top of your mouth on one side, and brush all the way to the molars in the back.

>>KIDS: 3, 2, 1 brush!

[THEME SONG ENDS]

>>RACHEL: It’s Teeth Week, and tonight we’ve got more silly teeth jokes to get you giggling.

[GIGGLES]

>>RACHEL: Here’s your first one: 

What’s a cat’s LEAST favorite tooth?

>>KID: What is it?

>>RACHEL: A canine!

[RIMSHOT/BARK]

>>RACHEL: Get it? A Canine is big word for dog! And cats and dogs don’t always get along. 

[MEOW/BARK]

>>RACHEL: Switch your brushing to the other side of the top of your mouth…

[SWITCH BELL]

>>RACHEL:  and brush the inside, outside, and chewing side of each tooth.

>>RACHEL: A canine is a dog. 

[BARK]

>>RACHEL: Right. But why would a cat’s least favorite tooth be a dog? A dog is not a tooth. Oh I remember why! A canine is also a word for a type of tooth! Humans have four of them. Canines help us tear and rip what we eat and chew. 

Switch to the bottom of your mouth…

[SWITCH BELL]

>>RACHEL: -and don’t forget your canines.

Here's your next joke:

What did the wolf say after getting a present?

>>KIDS: What?

>>RACHEL: FANG you very much!

[RIMSHOT]

>>KID: Huh? 

>>RACHEL: A fang is a large and SHARP tooth. Like the canine of a wolf.

I’ll tell you more after you switch to the other side of the bottom of your mouth…

[SWITCH BELL]

>>RACHEL: and give your tongue a brush, too.

We call the sharp canines on animals fangs.  Other animals that have fangs are cats, bears, and snakes.  When some apes what to tell other apes to back off, they show their fangs, to say “hey, I mean business - give me my space!”

[THEME SONG BEGINS]

>>RACHEL: You did a good job brushing your fangs. I mean your canines. Your teeth, all your teeth. Until next time…

>>KIDS:  3, 2, 1 spit!
