Each child promises to take better care of themselves, and the episode closes with a boy choosing to brush his teeth at the sink.

recommended age Unlock

Alex and his family act out a sung trip to the dentist. Alex eats candy and gets a sore tooth, then visits a friendly costumed dentist who checks his teeth and reassures him not to be scared. The song teaches him to brush for 'white and strong teeth', and the story ends with the family taking the candy away and singing that candy is not good for you. It plays out in bright, balloon-filled play rooms set up as a home and a dentist's office.
