A Trip to the Dentist! | Educational Videos for Kids | Baba Blast!

Oh, where did we blast to, Blaster? Oh, into a polar bear's lap. Well, why did we do that? Oh, we're at the dentist's office? Arctic Smiles? Oh, well maybe they can help us learn how we can keep our teeth healthy and clean. And I'd also like to learn about this polar bear. Can you help us out? All right, we'll go to the dentist's office in a little bit, but right now, let's go learn about some polar bear teeth. Us humans have 32 teeth, but polar bears have 10 more teeth than us. That means they have 42 sharp teeth. Polar bear teeth are two inches long. That's longer than a black bear tooth, which is just one inch. Polar bears have teeth called canines, which are the really long teeth you can see right here. They use their teeth to catch prey and ward off predators. Polar bears are also really great swimmers. Their padded paws help them swim for hours at a time, and they can reach a top speed of six miles per hour in the water. What do you think a baby polar bear is called? A baby or newborn polar bear is called a cub. And each mama polar bear typically raises two cubs at a time. Look how cute they are. Polar bears are amazing. Let's go inside Arctic Smiles and see what's in there. Baba Blast. Hi. Hi, Kyle. Hi, Blaster. Hi. Well, we just blasted over here to learn all about teeth and to make sure that my teeth are healthy and clean. Could you get us in today? Absolutely. So the first step is gonna be an X-ray. All right. The first step is an X-ray. Is that you? Yeah, right this way, Kyle. All right, here we go. Come on. Whoa. Look at this. This is our X-ray machine. This is an X-ray machine, Blaster. Check it out. Can Blaster sit here? Blaster can go right here. All right, there you go, Blaster. We've got a super heavy vest for ya. To protect you from the X-ray. All right. Now, Kyle, you're gonna step up to right here. Okay. Go ahead and bite just on the edge of the yellow part. All right, here I go. And then you're gonna hold on to these barbs here so you can stand nice and still. You're gonna spin around your head, okay? Okay. You just stand real still and stay biting. This X-ray machine is gonna take pictures of my teeth from every angle. All right, Kyle, you can step backwards. How was that? That was so easy. Here's what the picture looks like. It looks like a big, scary machine, but it was really simple. All I had to do was just sit there really still, like Miss Ashley told me. Thanks, Miss Ashley. You're welcome, Kyle. All right, Blaster, let's go back to the waiting room, and you'll let us know when you're ready? Okay, here we go. Come on. We're back in the waiting room. Look at this big, long bench we can sit on, and it's filled with icebergs. This place is really cool. Hey, Blaster, look what they put on the TV. Yeah, that's you. Nice. And I just spotted one of my favorite animals. Come over here. This is a penguin. Did you know that there are 17 species of penguins? And out of all of those species, only two live in cold climates. Let's go learn more about the penguins that live where it's really cold. Penguins living in Antarctica can live in negative 76 degrees Fahrenheit. That's some of the coldest temperatures on all of planet Earth. Now, penguins don't have teeth. Instead, they have rows of serrated spines that help them catch and hold on to slippery fish. And they don't chew their food either. Once they catch a fish, they swallow it whole. Penguins are also excellent swimmers. They need to be fast to catch those fish and avoid becoming another animal's lunch. One way penguins can increase their speed in the water is by porpoising, or leaping out of the water. Check them out. Blaster, I had no idea how fast penguins could swim. Thanks for showing us. All right, Kyle, we're ready for you. Oh, did you hear that? They're ready for us in the back. Let's go. Ooh, look at this wild wolf. We'll check him out later. Whoa! This place is so cool. Look at all the animals on the ceiling. You want me to sit here? Yeah, this is your chair for today. All right. Blaster, this is where we get to sit. And Blaster, you're gonna go right here with the other dentist tools. Ashley's gonna help us learn what we need to do to keep our teeth healthy. What's the first thing we should do, Ashley? Well, Kyle, first, we should always brush our teeth twice a day. And here we use this fun little toothbrush. Makes sound like that. Ooh, can you guys hear that? Can you hear that sound? Oh, yeah. And our fun little toothpaste. Oh, the toothpaste looks like sand. Yeah. So should we get started, Kyle? Sure, what's the first step? We're gonna lean you back. Oh! Lean back. Here we go. Some fun sunglasses for you. Very cool. Blaster, how do I look in these sunglasses? Nice. All right, now we're just gonna brush your teeth a little bit. All right, I'm a little nervous, but I think we'll be okay. I think you're gonna do great. Go ahead and open. How you doing, Kyle? Really good. Awesome. All right, now we've got the suction coming. Ooh. Then you're gonna close. Good job. Oh, yeah. Now a little rinse. And close. Not too bad, huh? That was so easy. I loved that. Well, my teeth feel great, and even though it was a little noisy, it didn't hurt and it wasn't scary. Miss Ashley, can I take off my glasses? Yeah, I'll take those off for you. All right. Blaster, what did you think? I know. My teeth do look a lot cleaner. Thanks, Blaster. Hey, did you notice that sea lion above us? I saw it when I leaned back. Sea lions have really cool teeth. Blaster, could you help us out? All right, let's go learn about sea lions. Sea lions only have a few more teeth than us humans. Sea lions have 34 to 38 teeth, and sea lion teeth are designed to catch and tear food. Just like penguins, they swallow their food whole. Now sea lions are part of a group called pinnipeds. New word alert, new word alert, pinnipeds. Pinniped refers to marine mammals that have front and rear flippers. Pinnipeds include sea lions, seals, and walruses. Oh, and by the way, walruses have two huge teeth. Those are called tusks. Those tusks can be 30 inches long. Look how big they are. Okay, back to sea lions. Sea lions are also very vocal. You can hear them barking, growling, and grunting. Take a listen. Blaster, those sea lions were awesome. What was your favorite part about sea lions? That is a cool part. All right, well, Miss Ashley, what else do we have to do to keep our teeth really clean? All right, Kyle, well, we also need the doctor to check them. Oh. He's on his way right now. Okay, all right, I'll sit back down. Blaster, you can go right back here. Hi, Kyle. Well, hi. Dr. Jones. Hi, Dr. Jones, I'm Kyle. This is Blaster, and this is our friend. You're not nervous, are you? I'm not nervous, but I am wondering, how do you see all of the teeth that I have way back in my mouth? Well, I use some special tools. One is this mirror. Oh. As we look inside your teeth. And then also, these glasses. Those glasses are so cool. Which make everything really big. Nice, awesome. So can I take a peek at your teeth? Sure. And what are you looking for in there? Looking to see if all the sugar bugs are gone or if there's any cavities. All right, no sugar bugs, no cavities. Let's see what happens. Blaster, I haven't been eating too much candy, have I? Right. Thanks. Let's take a look. Your teeth are very clean. Very nice. I don't see any sugar bugs just by looking inside with my tools. That's a good thing. Awesome, Kyle. No sugar bugs, all right. And you were able to see with the glasses too? Very big. You wanna try them on? Of course. Real live doctor glasses. Cool. Oh yeah. Whoa, blaster. It's like you're right in front of me. Oh yeah, you're still over there. You too, I can see you really close. Hi. Thanks, doc. These are cool. Well, doctor, thank you so much for teaching us about how to keep our teeth healthy. Awesome, Kyle. You did wonderful. And your teeth look great. We'll see you back in six months to check them out again. All right, six months. I got something special for you and Blaster. Oh, all right. Well, let's go check it out. Thanks, doctor. All right, come on, guys. Let's go see what our special gift is. Oh, I remember this. Remember the Arctic wolf? Here he is again. Let's get a close look at his teeth now that we've been learning about animal teeth. Wow, he has big ones in the front and teeth all the way in the back. I'd like to learn more about Arctic wolves, Blaster. Arctic wolves typically have 42 teeth. Do you know another animal with 42 teeth? That's right. It's the polar bear. You remembered. Arctic wolves have sharp teeth and a very strong jaw. So strong, in fact, that an Arctic wolf's jaw has the ability to bite through bone. You can find Arctic wolves living by themselves or in groups. A group of wolves is called a pack and there are anywhere from two to 20 wolves in a pack. Perhaps most of all, Arctic wolves are known for their howl. Let's howl together. Howl. Wow, Blaster, the animals that live in the snow are super cool, pun intended. What was your favorite animal that you saw today? That's a good choice. Well, hey, Dr. Jones said that he has a gift for you, me, and the Blaster. So let's go see what it is. Hi. Hi, Dr. Jones has this for you to keep you healthy until next time and a sticker for doing such a good job. All right, Blaster, I'm gonna put the sticker on you. There you go. You look great. And now let's go see what we got in our goodie bag. Come on. All right. I didn't know we were gonna get prizes today. The first thing, of course, is a toothbrush. Dr. Jones and Miss Ashley showed me how to brush my teeth so I can use this when I get home. They said twice a day. That's right, twice a day. Oh, look at this. Remember the little penguins we met earlier? Here's a little stuffed one that we can take home with us. Very cute penguin. Oh, and a really big kit filled with things to keep our teeth healthy. A travel toothbrush. Have you ever seen one of these? If you go on a trip or maybe you go to camp or maybe you go over to a friend's house and spend the night, you might take a travel toothbrush and these look like this. And this end goes here and then you can brush your teeth just like this. And then when you're finished, it goes back in its case. This will be perfect for when I travel, Blaster. Ooh, and some floss. We didn't talk much about flossing today, but flossing, which you might be familiar with, is not just a dance move. You take this and you put the floss in between each one of your teeth to make sure there are no sugar bugs in your mouth. Thanks, Dr. Jones. That's great. Oh, nice. We also have a second toothbrush and this one is blue, the same color as my pants. Nice. Blaster, we're matching. It looks great. Oh, wow. Remember the mirror that Dr. Jones used to see the teeth all the way in the back of my mouth? Now we have our own mirror. Cool. Our very own mirror. Can you see my teeth? It works. Nice, Blaster. And finally, we have an hourglass. I bet this is for two minutes. So when you start brushing your teeth, you flip it over, and when all of the blue sand goes to the bottom, that means it's time to stop brushing your teeth. You brush your teeth for two minutes. I think with this kit and all of the information Dr. Jones and Ms. Ashley gave, I'll be able to keep my teeth super healthy. It was so great to go to Arctic Smiles with you and the Blaster today. I know, Blaster, it was fun. We learned how to keep our teeth healthy and we also got to meet some new animals. Sounds like a perfect day to me. Well, we hope you had fun and we hope you had a ba-ba-blast. We'll see you on the next one. Bye. Ba-blast.
