A Brush with Teeth (Sid the Science Kid transcript)

oh hi I'm sick okay I'm gonna get right

to it

I have a problem with this whole teeth

brushing thing see it all started and

when mom said I can't have too much

sugary food especially my favorite

cereal super sugar but yes munch

crunchers are kind of bad for my teeth

I'm a dad keep on telling me I have to

brush my teeth twice a day twice dr.

[Music]

[Music]

commander me I have a question for both

Gerald oh well um yeah I like brushing

my teeth like this yeah well sometimes

when I eat broccoli and it gets stuck

right here my teeth then um then

brushing can be hard yeah how about you

may do you like brushing your teeth I do

because I just lost a tooth

see yeah and I like brushing the empty

space so it doesn't get yucky Wow cool

me thanks and now it's time for the

results of my survey

Gabriela likes brushing with her purple

toothbrush with pink polka dots

Gerald likes brushing but not when the

broccoli gets stuck in his teeth and may

bikes brushing the space where she lost

a tooth baby you thought about brushing

your teeth too and there you have it I

am Sid roving reporter and

brushing expert everybody gold

I got a quite robust Vinny twisty low

4.3 so what's on your mind today

Oh Gabriela my teeth are on my mind me

too on the playground we were talking

about brushing our teeth hey Susie I

know we're supposed to brush our teeth

but why do we have to brush every day oh

good question SID let me find some teeth

and I'll show ya find some well a

picture of teeth you see it's important

to brush your teeth every day so you

don't get a cavity like this one exactly

Gabriela if you don't brush your teeth

the food you leave behind on your teeth

can help bacteria grow and that can make

a cavity well cavities can hurt but a

dentist can fix cavities and make you

feel much better

hey guess what what I just went to the

dentist yesterday and I don't have any

cavities I didn't get any cavities

because I take good care of my teeth

yeah we have to be nice to our teeth

because they help us chew work hard

yeah yeah hey how do teeth do all that

work good question SID

do any of you know a good place to

investigate our teeth

I call today's investigation teeth time

the best way to see what teeth actually

do is to look at them then use them okay

first we'll observe the different kinds

of teeth we have in our mouths with

these simple mirrors they're small round

mirrors that real dentists use then we

can look at each other's teeth to see

what they look like then after we look

at our different kinds of teeth you're

going to use your teeth to bite and chew

some food I love yummy vestigation your

job is to compare and contrast how your

different teeth work okay let's begin

our teeth time investigation hey you're

scientists you can try this too

today we're going to explore the

different kinds of teeth we have in our

mouth your front teeth are called

incisors and next to your incisors you

have pointy teeth called canines

look at your teeth inner way in the back

those teeth are your molars now let's

explore our teeth and use them to find

out their different jobs if you need to

buy something soft like a banana

what teeth do you use that's right you

use your front incisor teeth okay

let's explore what teeth you use to bite

something harder like a carrot hmm it

looks like you all use your canine teeth

your side teeth those canines are good

for biting through really crunchy foods

and once you've been through the crunchy

carrot you can use your back molars to

chew it up let's compare and contrast

how your different teeth work it's hard

to bite into a carrot with your friends

and cisors but it's much easier with

your pointy canine teeth okay time to

draw some observations in your journals

you can draw pictures of the food you

ate and really think about which teeth

you use to bite and chew out the food

[Music]

Wow

I never knew I had all those different

kinds of teeth in my mouth you sure do

hey let's see what other teeth

discoveries you made Gabriella can we

see your journal okay I ate a piece of

banana

I had to use my pointy teeth to bite it

in half and then I bit the carrot with

my pointy teeth and chewed it up with my

back teeth late jaw teeth your teeth did

do a great job okay see it how about

yours sure let's see we use those little

mirrors and I saw that my friend peas

are trying to shake like Squared's my

side Keith are all pointy and my back

teeth look like they're squares with

little teeny tiny bumpy Hills all over I

guess those bumpy teeth help you grind

stuff up you're right see great teeth

observations thank you our teeth work so

hard to chew our food yeah yeah that's

why you have to brush them every day

don't worry teeth I'll take good care of

you well I'm very impressed with all my

teeth experts do you know so much about

different teeth and what their jobs are

I think it's time to play with all your

new ideas.

It's time for... …good laugher noon.

so glad you all want to take care of

your teeth and I think the surprise I

have will really help

we're toothbrushes my dentists gave them

to me for each of you come on put them

in your bags what cool things did you

learn today grandma did you know that we

have different kinds of teeth do

different jobs and everyone has to brush

and take care of their teeth yeah oh I

always brush my teeth because I remember

my grandma's teeth yes my grandma always

had perfect teeth straight and white and

clean wow this sure looked perfect but

one night I stayed over at her house and

saw her cleaning her teeth in a glass

she took her teeth out and put them in a

glass of cleaning the quick

yes her teeth were fake ones that the

dentist made for her because she did

Russell's real teeth when she was

younger

oh yeah I'm gonna brush three or four

times a day oh now don't you worry you

have healthy teeth and good toothpaste

and parents who make you brush yeah my

grandma knew all sorts of important

stuff

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

it's really good sounds like the perfect

time to brush your teeth brush your

teeth but not with a boot brush your

teeth every day wow what a great day I

had you guys we looked at our teeth with

little mirrors and we learned that we

have different kinds of teeth they do

lots of different jobs and you know

learning all this made me think about

all teeth not just teeth for people but

animals teeth too like the ones you guys

have

[Music]

okay I've got it

here's my super-duper-ooper-schmooper

big idea I'm going to thank the pop in

pop out teeth changer its bunch of

different kinds of animals you can pop

in and pop out of your own mouth then

you can know what it feels like to be

that animal and choose like that animal

you can try a huge crocodile teeth and

even great white shark deep maybe you

can have lion teeth come on funny walrus

key and you SuperDuper gotta be had a

dinosaur key

hello I am a dinosaur

[Music]

Hey

remember to brush your teeth all your

different kinds of feet so they'll be

healthy so you can use them to chew I am

Sid the Science Kid and remember keep

asking lots and lots of questions

see you later scientists I gotta go

brush my teeth
