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 to the dentist?

I'm glad you're coming with me.

(both laughing) Can you do a quiet roar?

(softly): Roaaar.

♪♪ (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.

- Hello, neighbor.

- 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.

- OK!

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!
