Hello. My name's Dr Ranj. Welcome to my surgery. Are you well?

CHILDREN: Yeah!

Good. Someone's not feeling well. I wonder who my next patient is.

Who's come to visit me? Who will it be?

Can you guess which friend it is? Let's see.

It's...

Riz!

# The world's so full of what and why

# I really have to know

# How does it work and what is this?

# And where does that thing go?

# So much to know

# So much to learn and do

# When I find out something new

# I want to shout

# Wahoo!

# So much to know

# So much to learn and do

# When I find out something new

# I want to shout

# Wahoo! #

Come on in, Riz.

-Hello, Dr Ranj.

-Hello, Riz.

-What can I do to help?

-Look at this.

Your tooth's fallen out.

It didn't fall out. It was knocked out!

Oh no! How did that happen?

Well, there's a huge hill at the back of my house,

and I was riding my scooter down it fast - dug-dug-dug-dug.

It feels like flying, doesn't it?

Nee-ow, nee-ow, whoa!

I love doing that, too.

Before I could say, "Puddles,"

there was a rabbit in front of me,

and I had to swerve like this... PRETENDS TO SCREECH BRAKES

I missed it, but I hit a bump. The bike stopped, I didn't!

It all happened really slowly, like this...

Whee!

Thump - woah!

Oh no!

Oh, no! Then what happened?

For a second, I just sat there.

But there was a funny taste in my mouth.

My tongue felt there was nothing where my tooth should be.

I spat in my hand, and there was lots of blood.

And, right in the middle, there was my tooth.

That sounds like a nasty accident.

Let's look at your head to make sure there's no bumps and bruises.

Did you bang your head or feel dizzy?

No. It was just my mouth.

Good, you haven't cut your lip, your head seems fine.

-Can I have another look at your tooth?

-Sure.

You're lucky, Riz,

it's a baby tooth. Nothing too much to worry about.

Lucky? I'm not lucky.

I have a gap in a mouth for ever, and I'll talk funny!

I can't say "theep" properly.

-I'm sorry?

-Theep.

You know, like Baa Baa Black Theep.

-Oh, sheep!

-I won't even try the rest of the rhyme. Impossible!

-See, I'm not lucky.

-Sorry, Riz.

I meant you're lucky you lost a baby tooth, not an adult tooth.

-What do you mean? I'm not a baby!

-Of course you're not.

And I'll show you what I mean.

Most children grow their first set of teeth by the time

they're three years old.

-These are your baby teeth.

-OK.

-So, they're the teeth that I've got now.

-Yes.

When you're around five or six years old,

your baby teeth fall out one by one.

Haha! They're gappy, like me!

Why do teeth fall out?

They're pushed out of the way by bigger teeth growing behind them.

-This second set of teeth is called adult teeth.

-Puddles!

I get a new set of teeth? That's fantastic!

-Will they fall out?

-No, you only get two sets of teeth.

After the adult teeth, there's no more.

They have to last your whole life, but only if you look after them.

How do you look after your teeth, Dr Ranj?

That sounds like a great question

for Nurse Morag and her Healthy Helpers.

-Hello, Nurse Morag.

-Hello, Dr Ranj, hello, Riz, how are you?

I've lost a tooth.

I'd like to ask you, how do you

-look after your teeth?

-Good question.

I'll get my Healthy Helpers.

# Catch that ball, yeah, it's your go

# Give me questions, catch and throw

# Healthy Helpers will show and tell

# How you can keep fit and well

-# Catch the ball, it's your go

-# Ask the nurse

-# Give me questions, catch and throw

Today I'm in London, and my Healthy Helpers are...

Hello, my name is Rocco, and I like stroking my cat, Indy.

Hello, my name is Alexander, and I like seeing my grandparents.

Hello, my name's Frankie, and I like holding my baby sister.

My name is Fazia, and I like pizzas!

-Right, who here likes apples?

-CHILDREN: Me!

Fazia, do you not like apples? No, not at all?

Well, we're going to try something.

We're going to try and eat the apple, but there's a condition.

You're not allowed to use your teeth,

so you pretend you have no teeth, like that.

Can you do that?

Right. Let's try. Are you ready?

THEY LAUGH

It's too hard, isn't it?

-Shall we try it with our teeth, this time?

-Yes.

-OK.

APPLES CRUNCH

Yes, it works.

Mmm. That's much easier, isn't it?

And that's because our teeth are really, really strong,

and excellent for cutting and chewing food.

This is delicious, isn't it?

What do we do to our teeth to keep them strong and healthy?

-Brush them at the morning and night.

-Well done, Fazia.

That's right. We brush every morning and every night,

to keep them clean.

After we finish eating, tiny pieces of food stay in our mouth.

Sometimes they're so small, we can't see them.

But, they're there.

Along come the germs that live in our mouth, called bacteria.

And they stick to the food, and it's really bad for our teeth.

And, tell me, Healthy Helpers. What do we do to clean our teeth?

-Brush our teeth!

-That's right. Brush our teeth.

Right, Healthy Helpers, who can tell me what happens

when you lose a tooth?

Yes, Rocco.

You put it on your pillow at night time,

then the tooth fairy comes.

And what does the tooth fairy do?

Take the tooth out, and put the coin under your pillow.

Wow. And then, after that,

what happens in the gap that's left?

A new tooth, an adult tooth.

That's perfect. An adult tooth.

So, all the baby teeth fall out,

and then you get a whole new set of adult teeth.

So, who here wants to play a game all about brushing your teeth?

CHILDREN: Me!

Come on, then. Let's go!

-OK, guys. We've arrived. Let's get off.

-Stopping.

Yes, good driving.

OK, guys. Now, look what we have here.

We have some really, really dirty teeth.

And I'm going to put on some of the bacteria,

cos the teeth are covered in food.

This is like the bacteria we were talking about,

the germs in your mouth.

Wow, these teeth are filthy! What should we do now?

Clean them!

-Exactly. Are you ready?

-Yes.

-Are you sure?

-Yes.

Then, go!

Very good, guys. Now, make sure

you get that food off, cos that's what bacteria

likes to stick to, and we know that's not good for our teeth.

That's it, get all the bacteria. But don't brush too hard.

Remember, do it gently. You don't want to hurt your gums.

Wow, great brushing, guys. Pop your brushes back in the bucket.

Wow, those teeth look gleaming white. Healthy and strong.

And that's why, Riz, it's important

to brush our teeth and look after them.

So, get brushing!

-Bye, Riz!

-Bye!

-Bye, Nurse Morag.

-Bye, thank you.

-OK, Riz.

Let's look at how you brush your teeth.

Get your toothbrush, make sure it's got soft bristles.

Got it!

-You need some toothpaste.

-Can I have lots, please?

No, you only need a small blob, the size of a pea.

-Ready?

-Ready.

-Copy me.

Round and round.

Front to back.

Top.

Bottom.

And inside.

Round and round, front to back, top, bottom, and inside.

Spit, so you don't swallow any toothpaste.

RIZ SPITS

And, finally, rinse.

RIZ GARGLES

RIZ SPITS

-Done!

-Done.

-Squeaky clean teeth.

Well, Dr Ranj.

Ever since I've fallen off my bike,

I can't say my "S"s properly.

Just listen!

# My mouth was feeling gummy

# So I went and told my mummy

# Then she took a look inside

# She finished looking in

-# She gave a little grin... #

-Ha ha!

# This is what she replied

-# Give a great big happy gappy smile #

-Yeah!

-# You'll just have your gap for a while #

-Not for long!

# Give a great big happy gappy smile

# No need to cry or shout

# When your tooth drops out #

I don't need to worry, then!

# I didn't understand

# Why my tooth was in my hand

# What was I supposed to do?

# "They're just your baby teeth,"

# She said, "and underneath

# "Your big new teeth are coming through." #

Hooray!

# Give a great big happy gappy smile

# You'll just have your gap for a while

# Give a great big happy gappy smile

# No need to cry or shout

# When your tooth drops out

# Give a great big happy gappy smile

# Give a great big happy smile

# Give a great big happy gappy smile! #

Yeah! OK, Dr Ranj. Bye!

Hang on, I want to talk about dentists.

-Do you have one?

-I don't know.

Dentists know everything about looking after teeth.

They check teeth are healthy. You should see one every six months.

-I'll talk to your dad about it.

-Dentist. Got it.

Thanks, doctor! Bye!

You promise to brush your teeth twice a day?

I promise. Bye!

-And, don't forget your Get Well Soon badge.

-Oh, yeah.

Thanks, Dr Ranj. Bye!

Bye, Riz. You look after your teeth, too, won't you?

See you next time. Till then, be happy, be healthy.

If you're not feeling well, it's always best to go

and see you own doctor. And, get well soon.
