>> NARRATOR: Dani has lost a tooth and her mom has made her an appointment at the big kid dentist. But she doesn’t really remember when she went to the dentist as a little kid … so she and her friends are determined to find out - what’s the story with the big kid dentist! So they ask their teacher … Mr. Chipper!
>> MR. CHIPPER
It’s funny you should ask about the dentist. I am a huge fan of dentistry.
>> PENNY
Mr. Chipper, is there a difference between the dentist and a dentist for big kid teeth? And does the dentist really turn into a turkey?!?
>> GERTIE
Why did Dani lose a tooth and I didn’t?
>> DUTCH
Can the big kid dentist cast spells like a wizard?
>> MR. CHIPPER
Class, settle down. I remember when I lost my first tooth. I had a lot of questions, too
FOR EXAMPLE, WHAT ARE TEETH MADE OF?
WHY DO WE NEED TO KEEP THEM CLEAN?
>> PENNY
Mr. Chipper, we already know what teeth are, but what does the dentist do for big kid teeth?
>> MR. CHIPPER
Ah ah ah... It's important to know
WHAT TEETH DO? HOW THEY CHEW UP YOUR FOOD?
HOW YOU USE THEM TO SPEAK NICELY OR BE RUDE.
>> GERTIE
Mr. Chipper... The dentist please?
>> MR. CHIPPER
Oh right. After I lost some baby teeth, I went to the dentist for a check up.
I HOPPED IN THE CAR WITH MY WHOLE FAMILY.
WE GOT TO THE OFFICE AND MY BROTHER, STANLEY,
HE GRABBED MY HAND AND SAID, THE DENTIST WILL BE FUN.
>> DANI
But Mr. Chipper - what does a big kid dentist do?
>> MR. CHIPPER
I SAT DOWN IN THE CHAIR. THERE WAS MAGIC IN THE AIR.
>> DANI
This is going nowhere.
>> MR. CHIPPER
And that’s how I got to my check up at the dentist.
>> DUTCH
But Mr. Chipper, we're not any closer to learning what a big kid dentist does!
>> MR. CHIPPER
So, at your check up, the dentist -
>> FRIENDS/DANI
Yes?!?
>> MR. CHIPPER
The big kid dentist...
>> FRIENDS/DANI
YES?!?
>> MR. CHIPPER
Kids these days have no patience.
DENTISTRY HAS BEEN AROUND FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS.
IN ANCIENT GREECE THEY BRUSHED THEIR TEETH JUST LIKE YOU DO HERE.
>> PENNY
Really?
>> MR. CHIPPER
Yes! But we actually think the first dentist in the world lived in Ancient Egypt over 5,000 years ago.
>> MR. CHIPPER
KEEPING ALL YOUR TEETH CLEAN IS A SACRED ART
DENTISTS ALL AROUND THE WORLD TEACH KIDS TO START
BRUSHING, FLOSSING, RINSING, UNTIL BIG KID TEETH COME IN
>> DUTCH
Finally!
>> FRIENDS/DANI
What is a big kid dentist?!?
>> MR.CHIPPER
AT LONG LAST YOU'LL KNOW
WHAT A BIG KID DENTIST DOES, AND SO
I’LL TELL YOU NOW -
>> FRIENDS
OHHH THE DENTIST
WE WANT TO KNOW
(A school bell rings)
Oh dear, look at the time! I guess I'll have to tell you tomorrow.
>> NARRATOR: Oh no! Mr. Chipper was no help at all! But join us tomorrow on Chompers when Dani’s mom comes to the rescue! Now it’s time to ....
