Haunted Mouth (1974)

[Music] [Music] [Music] you [Music] [Music] oh [Music] [Music] you [Music] [Music] I've been waiting for you yes you with the te [Laughter] but allow me to introduce myself the name is plaque B plaque that's B for bacterial actually I already know you oh yes very well especially your mouth I'd venture to say I know your mouth better than you do I should I live there [Laughter] it's quite comfortable really warm cushiony and it has everything I want your teeth and [Laughter] gums oh didn't you know I deal in tooth decay and gum disease and I love my work you can't see me of course because I am invisible an invisible film to be exact a most satisfactory arrangement for me I find it a decided Advantage for collecting these but come take a closer look closer don't be afraid they don't bite not when I get through with them these belong to a lovely young girl with a craving for sweets the gooier the stickier the better the better for me plaque because my invisible film is infested with hundreds of millions of bacteria that thrive on all those sticky gooey sweet things you eat I spread them along the gum line at every crevice inside then out when they get together with the sugary remains on your teeth they produce Devastation a Decay acid that can eat right through the enamel to the very heart of your tooth see what I mean now this young fellow had an unfortunate failing he could never remember the right way to brush his teeth my bacteria had a ravenous time in his mouth especially between his teeth like here of course dental floss is too much trouble oh once in a while but every day not a chance but this is my prize perfect not one single cavity yet I got it just the same I spread gum disease here and here all around that tooth but since the owner didn't see her dentist regularly she didn't realize it until her gums were so weak they couldn't hold on it was that easy that's the trouble you make it too easy all you care about is your hair your clothes you don't really care about your smile about using an accepted fluoride toothpaste you make destroying your teeth so easy there's no excitement in it no no challenge look I I'll make you a sporting proposition I'll show you how to beat me at my own game and you won't do it that's right I will show you exactly how to protect your teeth and gums from me and I'll still win I know you oh maybe you don't think I'm in your mouth at all then take this disclosing tablet and see for yourself now look in the mirror see where it's turning red on your teeth that's me be plaque in your mouth think you can fight that I dare you look these are your basic ammunition kid stuff right H don't be fooled without them every day you haven't got a chance take the toothbrush but not just any toothbrush one with a flat brushing surface and soft bristles rounded at the end and you'll need a fluoride toothpaste but not just anyone a fluoride toothpaste accepted by the American Dental Association remember that if you want to be sure your toothpaste not only cleans your teeth but also makes the enamel stronger more resistant to Decay acid personally I'm against it now let's see you brush to remove plaque marvelous you'll never get rid of me that way you have to angle the bristles against the gum line there where the teeth and gums come together that's right now brush back and forth with short vibrating Strokes as if you're polishing each tooth gently though now that's better clean like that outside now inside I don't know why I bother you never remember anyway now scrub up and down with the tip of your brush inside your front teeth up and down up and down little short vibrating Strokes like before yes and don't forget those chewing surfaces we're not just there get all the way back well not that well want your teeth to last forever okay now finish the job if you prefer not to spend a a couple of extra minutes a day using dental floss I shall be eternally grateful since that's how you could get rid of what the brush Miss between your teeth now Slide the floss between two teeth then up gently gently I said just under the gum line then scrape the tooth away from the gum be sure you scrape away from the gum so you don't injure it that's simple enough isn't it keep going scraping carefully until you've done both sides of every single tooth top and bottom you'll be denying me some of my best hiding places places where I do my work undetected if you'd brush and floss like that every day I couldn't touch you because it takes me 24 hours to start trouble but let an entire day go by without a thorough brush ring and flossing and no one can stop me no one but a dentist those regular checkups ruin my plans every time it's a dentist who can remove the plaque you miss when it's turned into hard destructive calculus it's a dentist who can apply special strength fluoride directly to your teeth the dentist oh one of these days ah it's time time to put you to the test to find out how much you've learned from our little meeting learned about me about yourself tell me how your sweet tooth indulge yourself have some chocolate and Caro and all the sticky gooey sugary food you want why not it's only your teeth [Music] lollipops donut jelly ja cook Marsh [Music] Bellow oh don't run away don't be a fool running away won't help it won't help won't [Music] help I told you you can't run away from me there's only one thing you can do fight me fight me every day I've shown you how now let's see you do it let's see see you beat me it's so easy so easy but I know you you won't do it will you will you you won't do it will you will you will you will you [Music] oh I
