00:00Join Kids Heart Family!
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.
