00:07Mmm! Yum!

00:08This cookie is so delicious.

00:11Do you want a bite?

00:13A bite?

00:14I want the whole cookie.

00:17Mmm!

00:18Ha ha! Here you go, my little tiger.

00:24Ouch! My tooth hurts.

00:27I can't chew it properly, Tia.

00:30Oh no, Tia!

00:33Oh Tofu, I think you might have a cavity.

00:36Let's take you to the dentist.

00:39No, Tia. I don't want to go to the dentist.

00:43I remember when I was smaller,

00:45the dentist took off my tooth.

00:48Ha ha! Tofu, you had a hanging milk tooth back then

00:53and you didn't let any of us touch it.

00:56So we had to take you to the dentist.

00:59What are milk teeth?

01:01And cavity?

01:03What is that?

01:04Milk teeth are temporary.

01:07They fall off and get replaced by stronger teeth as you grow up.

01:13Come on, let's go to the dentist and I will explain more to you.

01:18Hmm! Okay, if you say so.

01:21Come on, Tofu, don't be afraid.

01:24It's important to take care of your oral health

01:27just like the rest of your body.

01:29Let's go!

01:40Hello Miss, my name is Tia and this is Tofu.

01:45We need an appointment.

01:46Hello, dear.

01:49Here's your ticket.

01:51You're fifth in line.

01:53Please be seated in the waiting area till your number is displayed

01:57on the screen right here.

02:00Very well, thank you.

02:02Come on Tofu, let's go to the waiting lounge.

02:07Tia, I feel so nervous.

02:11Just breathe Tofu, you will be perfectly alright.

02:16Oh look, there's a tooth model.

02:19Let me explain you the structure of a tooth.

02:22Wow, that's an enormous tooth.

02:26Indeed it is.

02:28Now look, the hard outer layer is called an enamel.

02:34It is mostly made up of minerals.

02:37And oh, a fun fact,

02:39enamel is the strongest thing in your whole body.

02:44Stronger than our bones also?

02:47Yes Tofu, the enamel is stronger than our bones.

02:51But unlike the bones in our body,

02:53a tooth can't heal itself up if it's broken.

02:57Wow!

02:58And here, the layer just under the enamel is called a dentin.

03:05But dentin is not as hard as enamel.

03:08It's a little softer.

03:10Oh look, there's one more layer in there too.

03:14Correct.

03:15And look, the innermost layer is called a tooth.

03:19The innermost layer is called the pulp.

03:23It consists of blood vessels and nerves.

03:26But keep in mind, the pulp is the most sensitive area of a tooth.

03:32You need to take good care of your teeth to protect the pulp.

03:37Oh, I see.

03:39But how can we do that?

03:42You're up next, Tia and Tofu.

03:45Come on in.

03:46Oh, let's go.

03:47You can ask the rest of the questions to the doctor.

03:52I'm so nervous.

03:54Cheer up, brave boy.

03:57Hello, Doctor.

03:58Hello, kids.

04:00Come, have a seat.

04:01Doctor, how can we protect the pulp inside our teeth?

04:06Tia just taught me about tooth structure and I want to know more.

04:12Ha ha, oh dear.

04:14To protect the pulp inside, you need to brush your teeth twice a day and floss it regularly.

04:22The food that you eat throughout the day can get stuck in between your teeth

04:27and damage them if not cleaned regularly.

04:32Just like you get bacteria when you don't wash your hands regularly,

04:37you can get bacteria on your teeth too.

04:40Bacteria?

04:41What's that?

04:42Bacteria are very small particles that can't be seen by the naked eyes.

04:49When the food gets stuck to your teeth for too long,

04:53little bacteria monsters gather and feed on the stuck food.

04:58Eww, that's so gross.

05:01Ha ha, don't worry.

05:04You can clean the bacteria out by brushing your teeth regularly twice a day.

05:10Come on now, let's examine your teeth.

05:13Tell me, where does it hurt?

05:15Right here.

05:18Oh boy, there's a cavity right there.

05:22What's a cavity?

05:24Well, the bacteria that I told you about feed on the stuck food particles,

05:30especially on sugars and starches like cookies, chips, candies, etc.

05:38Cavities are caused by bacteria.

05:40Once these tiny particles of bacteria eat up the stuck food,

05:45they release acids that can really harm your teeth.

05:50These acids can cause holes.

05:53The holes are what cavities are.

05:56That is why it is so important to brush your teeth regularly.

06:01It cleans away the bad bacteria and hence,

06:04there would be no cavities or damage done to the teeth.

06:08I get it now.

06:09I will brush my teeth twice every day.

06:13And I will floss them regularly too.

06:16And what else?

06:18Oh yes, and I will avoid eating too much sugary and starchy foods.

06:25Oh, you're a smart little boy.

06:27Come on now, open your mouth.

06:29Let's get rid of that cavity.
