Hello there, I am Dr. Rabbit, the world's only rabbit dentist.
I am about to embark on a most thrilling adventure, Dr. Rabbit's Bright Smiles World Tour.
I am going to teach children all around the world how to properly take care of the teeth
and have bright, healthy smiles.
Come along if you'd like, it's sure to be the adventure of a tooth time.
Hola Dr. Rabbit, welcome to Europe.
Hola Carmen, good to see you again my friend.
I see you're enjoying those chips, but you are not doing your teeth any favors.
Really, why not?
You need to limit the number of times you eat sugars and starches each day.
Starches, what are they?
Starches are foods like crackers and potato chips.
They stick to your teeth and make plaque monsters grow.
Plaque monsters?
Plaque monsters are the bad guys in your mouth that can cause cavities when they meet up with sugars and starches.
They release acid that can help weaken your teeth and cause tooth decay.
And you get this plaque attack every time you eat.
Now, let's have a look.
Plaque, plaque, plaque, plaque, plaque, plaque, plaque.
We're plaque, we're plaque, we're plaque on the attack.
We're ucky, ucky monsters, we're on the cavity track.
We love it when you smack and eat all through the day.
Because the more times you eat, the more chances for decay.
There's a secret about plaque that you really need to know.
Starchy foods and sugar make plaque grow.
The more times that you snack, the more times we attack.
We're plaque, plaque, plaque, plaque, we're plaque on the attack.
Is this serious, Dr. Rabbit?
Not if you limit sugars and starches and take proper care of your teeth.
Why don't you come along with me on my bright smiles world tour and learn more?
I'd love to. Hop on and let's go.
Next stop, Africa.
Sokupuna, Dr. Rabbit.
Sokupuna, Tandy.
This is my friend, Carmen.
We're on a bright smiles world tour.
Will you teach me about bright smiles, too?
That's why I'm here.
One of the most important things you can do to give yourself a very bright smile
is to brush your teeth thoroughly with fluoride toothpaste, at least twice a day.
Especially after eating breakfast and before bedtime.
Now, get your toothbrushes ready, everyone.
Oh, no, no, no, no. No, this brush won't do.
You have to replace your toothbrush whenever the bristles get shaggy and worn
or it may hurt your gums.
Okay. Well, Mr. Giraffe's toothbrush looks good.
I'll just use his when he's finished.
Oh, no, you should never share your toothbrush.
It's yours and yours alone.
Here's a new one for you.
Thanks, Dr. Rabbit.
Okay, everyone.
Let's brush.
Brush in the morning and brush at night.
Brush every tooth and brush it right.
If you want to keep black away, you've got to brush your teeth at least twice a day.
Brush, brush, at least twice a day.
Brush with fluoride toothpaste and keep black away.
Brush every tooth, brush away all the black.
Brush your permanent molars that are way in the back.
Brush every surface, but still you're not done until you remember to brush your tongue.
Now, don't your teeth feel all clean and fresh?
Brushing frequently even gives you fresh breath.
Just brush freshness.
And now it's time to continue our bright smiles world tour.
Taxi to Asia.
Hello, Dr. Rabbit.
Hello, everybody.
Ni hao, Shao.
The Great Wall is magnificent.
Yes, it has protected my people for thousands of years.
You know, the Great Wall kind of reminds me of fluoride, as in fluoride toothpaste.
Huh?
Well, it reminds me of fluoride toothpaste.
Oh, I see.
As in fluoride toothpaste.
Huh?
Well, just as the Great Wall protects China,
fluoride helps protect your teeth from the evil plant monsters that can cause cavities.
Plank attack!
Quick, everyone.
Let's protect these teeth with fluoride toothpaste.
Charge!
Hurry, they're getting closer.
The fluoride in the toothpaste strengthens the enamel of your teeth,
making them stronger and helps to protect them from plaque attacks.
They're using fluoride.
Run away!
Yeah, we did it!
Yeah!
Now, shall we continue our world tour?
Yeah!
Australia, here we come!
Well, hello there, Olivia.
G'day, Dr Rabbit.
G'day, everyone.
Welcome to the Land Down Under.
I want you to know I've been taking extra good care of my teeth.
Excellent, Olivia.
But do you floss your teeth every day?
What's floss?
I'm glad you asked.
This is dental floss.
You wrap the floss around your middle fingers like so
and then gently move it up and down the side of each tooth like this.
Now, let's floss your teeth.
Open wide.
Flossing helps to remove the plaque that hides in the hard-to-reach places
between your teeth where the toothbrush can't go.
So make sure you get to that very last back tooth.
This is a great spot.
Yeah, he'll never find us back here.
Look out!
There, that should do it.
Now, how shall we continue on our world tour?
Maybe I can help.
The ride's a bit bumpy, but it's perfectly safe.
Then let's hop to it.
Well, here we are, North America.
Dr. Rabbit.
Nice to see you again, Michael.
Hey, what's going on?
Did you know that everybody has two sets of teeth?
Really?
Yes.
First, you have your baby teeth, which you must take care of
because they're saving a place for your permanent teeth.
So long, guys.
And then you get your permanent teeth.
Your permanent teeth have to last your whole lifetime.
So you'll have to take very good care of us.
Now.
He's reaching into his bag again.
Let's see if you have any of your permanent teeth yet, Michael.
Ah-ha, you already have your first permanent molars.
In addition to brushing and flossing,
another very good way to help protect them is with dental sealants.
Dental sealants are a thin plastic coating
that can be applied to your permanent back teeth.
Sealants fill in the grooves, helping to protect
the chewing surfaces of your permanent molars.
The plastic acts as a physical barrier against plaque and decay.
You mean like a sarcophagus protects a mummy?
Hey, you little privacy.
Or like the suit of armor protects the knight who wears it.
Exactly.
Very good examples.
And now it's time to rock it.
Come on!
Three, two, one.
Blast off to South America!
Hola, Alejandro.
Looks like all your soccer practice is finished.
Your practice is paying off.
Hola, Dr. Rabbit.
Are you wearing your mouth guard?
Of course I am.
You should always wear a mouth guard to protect your teeth when playing sports.
And you should visit your dentist regularly.
Yes, my dentist is my teammate.
She helps me keep my teeth and gums healthy and strong.
Yay! Great shot, Dr. Rabbit.
It's very important to visit your dentist regularly.
And it's just as important for you to take care of your teeth between visits.
And you should ask your dentist about sealants.
And floss every day for healthy teeth and gums.
And use for white toothpaste.
And brush early.
And limit how often you eat snacks.
Well, you've learned so much.
I'm so proud of you all.
Now, let's head home so you can share what you've learned.
When your smile is bright, you feel your spirit soar.
There's nothing you can't do. You want to brush some more.
Bright smiles will make the world a brighter place.
Bright smiles will put a smile on your face.
Bright smiles will make the world a brighter place.
So remember everything we've learned today.
Limit how often you eat snacks.

Use for white toothpaste.
