Abstract:
This film presents an engaging conversation between two hand puppets, "Dottie," a mischievous little girl, and the "dentist." They talk about the importance of regular dental care, addressing Dottie's fears about it with gentleness and humor. The fundamentals of oral hygiene, including replacing one's toothbrush regularly, are described. Proper diet is considered. When Dottie admits she eats "all the candy I can get," the dentist suggests other snacks be substituted, such as carrots or apples. He emphasizes to Dottie the importance of brushing teeth thoroughly, avoiding sweets, and obtaining good professional care.
