  • - Oh, you don't like going to the dentist, Julia?

  • But dentists are helpers.

  • They help us keep our teeth strong, and clean, and healthy.

  • - Yeah.

  • I wonder if there's a way we can remind Julia

  • what happens when we visit the dentist?

  • - Yeah.

  • Oh, what if we play dentist?

  • - Play?

  • - Yeah, do you wanna play, Julia?

  • - Play, play!

  • - Great, let's try. - Yeah.

  • - And I know just what we need to play.

  • We can use this toy alligator.

  • - Using a puppet to learn about the dentist, go figure.

  • - So who's the dentist here?

  • Are you the dentist?

  • - No.

  • - I'll be the dentist.

  • - Okay.

  • Then I will be the alligator patient.

  • - Oh, okay.

  • And Elmo will be the sound effects.

  • - So, let's play. - Yeah!

  • - Hello alligator, I'm your dentist, Dr. Charlie.

  • - Hello, Dr. Charlie.

  • - Time for your checkup.

  • - Please have a seat in my dental chair.

  • - Okay.

  • - So you see Julia,

  • there are special kinds of chairs at the dentist's office.

  • They can make you go up.

  • (Elmo whistling)

  • Or down.

  • (Elmo whistling)

  • - Nice sound effects, Elmo. - Thank you.

  • - I'm going to start by counting your teeth.

  • Open wide, please.

  • - (gasps) No, no, no.

  • - Oh no, no, no.

  • It's okay, Julia.

  • The dentist needs to see the alligator's teeth.

  • - Can you let me look, Julia?

  • - Mm mm.

  • - Oh, oh, oh, oh, what if we use magic words?

  • - Magic words?

  • - Yeah, yeah Julia.

  • Oh, like one, two, three, open sesame.

  • - Open sesame! - Yeah!

  • - Ah, thank you, Julia.

  • - There sure are a lot of teeth.

  • I'm gonna use one of my pretend dental tools

  • 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20.

  • any extra water in his mouth.

  • And now I'll clean the teeth

  • with a special kind of toothbrush.

  • - Oh yeah, the toothbrush makes a buzzing sound like this.

  • (Elmo buzzing)

  • - And soon, (Elmo slurping) it's all done!

  • (all laughing)

  • - Hey, my teeth feel so clean.

  • - They look clean.

  • - Well, you know what Dr. Price always says?

  • - [All] Sparkle city!

  • - Sparkle.

  • - Oh, but you know what, Charlie?

  • It's time to get you to the dentist.

  • - Okay.

  • Can Julia come with us?

  • Then she can see what it's like at Dr. Price's.

  • - Oh, I think that's a great idea.

  • - You'll like Dr. Price, Julia.

  • Dr. Price is so nice.

  • - Do you wanna come along, Julia?

  • - Come along, yes. - All right.

  • Then we'll go to your house

  • and check with your mom, all right?

  • Let's go.

  • See the giant teeth and the giant toothbrush.

  • - [Charlie] They're so big and bright.

  • - Hello, Charlie.

  • How are you today?

  • - I'm good, Dr. Price.

  • How are you?

  • - Well I am fantastic.

  • Allen, it is so nice to see you again.

  • - You too.

  • And this is our friend Julia.

  • She came along to see what it was like at the dentist.

  • - Oh, well welcome, Julia.

  • I'm so happy you came.

  • So first, we are gonna put this special bib on Charlie here.

  • - Bib?

  • - Now it is not like a baby bib.

  • This is made of paper

  • and it will help keep Charlie's clothes clean and dry.

  • And now I'm gonna bring the chair up and back.

  • (Julia whirring)

  • Yeah, it makes it sound just like that, Julia.

  • Here, listen.

  • (chair whirring) - Whee!

  • - Quite the ride, huh?

  • There we go, okay.

  • So now I am gonna put this light right over Charlie

  • so I can see her teeth clearly.

  • Now this light is gonna be very bright,

  • but I have these special sunglasses you can wear.

  • Huh, what do you think?

  • Right.

  • - Okay Julia, does that feel okay?

  • - Mm hm.

  • - Hey, that is a cool look on you, Julia.

  • Okay, you ready?

  • Light is going on now.

  • Great, okay.

  • So now next, I am gonna put on these gloves,

  • and I am gonna put on a face mask and a face shield.

  • And these are gonna help keep everyone healthy and clean.

  • Here comes this shield.

  • Great.

  • Now I am gonna start Charlie's checkup

  • by counting her teeth.

  • And I am gonna use this little mirror

  • to help me see all of the teeth.

  • And look, even lights up.

  • Isn't that great?

  • Okay, you ready, Charlie?

  • Open wide.

  • - Magic words?

  • - Oh yes.

  • We decided that the magic words are one, two, three.

  • - [Both] Open sesame.

  • - Hey, I love that.

  • Okay, well, one, two, three, open sesame.

  • Hey, it works.

  • Okay, let's see how many teeth you have.

  • 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 beautiful teeth.

  • Now I am gonna clean Charlie's teeth.

  • And I am gonna need some help

  • from a friend here, Mr. Thirsty.

  • - Remember Julia, it gets

  • all the extra water outta my mouth.

  • (Julia slurping)

  • - Yeah, Mr. Thirsty does sound exactly like that.

  • Okay.

  • One, two, three, open sesame.

  • And now I am gonna clean Charlie's teeth

  • by using this special toothpaste.

  • This might feel a little different

  • from the toothpaste you have at home.

  • See?

  • And it comes on a very stylish ring.

  • Okay, and I'm gonna use this special toothbrush.

  • (Julia buzzing)

  • Yeah, that's right, Julia!

  • You got it.

  • And I'm gonna turn it on now.

  • Let us clean those teeth, Charlie.

  • All right, all done, Charlie.

  • - Bye, Dr. Price. - Bye, Charlie.

  • Bye, Allen. - Bye.

  • - Thank you. - Bye Julia.

  • You're welcome.

  • Keep brushing every day.

  • - [Kids] I wonder, what if, let's try.

  • - Oh hi.

  • Samuel is playing dentist with his doll.

  • - Your teeth look good.

  • Now remember to keep them clean

  • by brushing them twice a day.

  • I'll show you how.

  • Use only a little bit of toothpaste, like this.

  • And then brush in little circles like this.

  • Make sure to brush the tops, bottoms,

  • fronts, and backs of your teeth.

  • Don't swallow the toothpaste.

  • Okay, time to suction.

  • (Samuel slurping)

  • There, all done.

  • Brush like this twice a day

  • and your teeth will stay clean and healthy.

  • - (giggling) Great work, dentist Samuel.

  • Elmo's gonna brush his teeth just like that.

  • D is for dentist.

  • We are at the dentist.

  • It's time for my checkup.

  • A dentist is a doctor that takes care of your teeth

  • and helps keep them clean, healthy, and strong.

  • My dentist uses special tools.

  • There are big tools, like the x-ray machine

  • for taking pictures of my teeth.

  • And small tools, like the dental mirror

  • so she can see my back teeth easily.

  • And the coolest thing is the chair.

  • It goes up and down, and even tilts back.

  • This chair is very comfy.

  • I wear glasses to protect my eyes.

  • The light is very bright.

  • My dentist wears a mask and gloves.

  • Now she needs to check my teeth.

  • So I open wide.

  • My dentist uses a pick to count my teeth

  • and check each one.

  • Now she cleans my teeth with a very special brush.

  • It buzzes.

  • The suction device is a very useful tool.

  • It clears away the extra water in my mouth.

  • Now my dentist flosses my teeth carefully.

  • Flossing is important because it cleans between my teeth

  • when my toothbrush can't reach.

  • And when we are done,

  • there is a little sink for me to rinse out.

  • Finished, all clean.

  • And it's really important to brush

  • and floss my teeth twice a day at home

  • to keep them healthy too.

  • Visiting the dentist is fun.

  • I like keeping my teeth clean and healthy.

  • D is for dentist.

  • The letter D.

  • - Hello, Cookie Monster. - Oh hi, Elmo.

  • What you got there?

  • - Elmo has some crunchy fruits and vegetables.

  • Elmo's dentist says that they will

  • Can you help me by making a crunchy snack with celery?

  • - Uh huh.

  • - Oh, adorbs.

  • Wow, so what we need to make

  • celery butterflies, Chef Gonger?

  • - Well let's take a little lookie lookie at the recipe.

  • To make celery butterflies

  • we need celery, cream cheese, sliced apples, and pretzels.

  • - Okay, we got cream cheese, sliced apples,

  • pretzels, and uh oh, we no got celery stalks.

  • - What happened to the salary stalks, Cookie Monster?

  • - They stalked away.

  • (laughs) Get little joke to lighten the mood.

  • (Gonger growling)

  • Okay, me ate them.

  • - Oh, Cookie Monster!

  • We need the celery to make the celery butterflies!

  • The clue is in the name.

  • Okay, look.

  • We need to go to the celery farm to get more celery.

  • Come on, let's go!

  • And don't touch the food!

  • Celery farm, celery farm

  • Going to the celery farm

  • - Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.

  • Here we are at the...

  • - [Both] Celery farm!

  • - [Cookie Monster] Hello, celery farmer.

  • We need celery to make crunchy butterfly snack.

  • Can you help us, please?

  • - Hello, Cookie Monster and Gonger.

  • Welcome to the celery farm.

  • Sure, I can help you.

  • Celery is a vegetable that grows out of the ground.

  • These large celery plants start out as tiny seeds.

  • The seeds are planted in soil

  • and they're put inside a place called a greenhouse.

  • With time, they start to grow into small plants.

  • When they're a little bigger, we plant the celery outside.

  • There's lots of celery to plant,

  • so we use a big machine called a transplanter to help us.

  • The celery grows and grows, with long green stalks,

  • until finally it's time to pick them.

  • The celery is cut, the bottom is trimmed,

  • and some of the leaves are trimmed off the top.

  • They get packed into boxes and stacked onto a truck.

  • Then they're sent to the store,

  • where people can buy them and bring them home.

  • The celery is crunchy and delicious.

  • Here's some celery for your butterfly snacks.

  • - Thank you, Ms. Farmer

  • Celery, celery

  • We're going home with celery

  • Okay, Chef Gonger.

  • We got celery all washed and clean.

  • Now, me wonder, how we make celery butterflies?

  • - Well, this is a wild idea,

  • but what if we check the recipe?

  • - Yes, let's try that.

  • - Okay.

  • So first we cut the celery into short pieces.

  • - Got it.

  • Cowabunga!

  • - Then we fill the middle with cream cheese.

  • Then we use the apple slices

  • and the curly pretzels for the wings.

  • - There we go.

  • - Oh, and straight pretzels for the antennae.

  • - I'm sorry, the antennae?

  • - [Gonger] Yeah, those two little sticky up thingies

  • on top of the little butterfly's head.

  • - Oh, pretzel antennae.

  • Wow, celery butterflies so easy and so adorable.

  • - Yeah, what a cutie.

  • Oh, oh, oh, oh, ow.

  • It's ready! (gong booming)

  • - Bye bye, butterflies.

  • - Fly like the wind, baby.

  • Oh Cookie Monster.

  • I got this nice for you.

  • - What, for me?

  • Oh, thank you Gonger.

  • (Cookie Monster chomping)

  • (Gonger laughing)

  • (dynamic music)

  • - [Gonger] Oh, oh, oh.

  • - Thank you, Cookie Monster and Gonger.

  • I love my celery butterflies.

  • They're crunchy and delicious.

  • I can't wait to tell my dentist.

  • - You welcome, Sophia.

  • Yeah. - Yay!

  • - (giggling) Hi!

  • Welcome to Elmo's World.

  • Guess what Elmo is wondering about today?

  • Wait for it.

  • Wait for it.

  • Oh, doctors!

  • Oh look, it's Dr. Two-headed Monster.

  • - Open up, say ah.

  • - Ah.

  • - Good check up.

  • Boy, Elmo wants to learn all about doctors.

  • - Hello, everybody!

  • Did I hear someone say doctor?

  • - Does Grover know about doctors?

  • - Is this a doctor, or what?

  • - That's a duck.

  • - Huh? - Grover, that's a duck.

  • - Oh, well of course it is not a doctor, it is a quack.

  • (Grover laughing)

  • A doctor would be, would be...

  • Oh, I am sorry, I do not know what a doctor is.

  • - It's okay, Grover.

  • What do we do to learn something new?

  • - [Both] We look it up.

  • - Let's get a checkup on doctors.

  • - [Narrator] Doctors help you get better when you're sick.

  • If you're hurt, or when you just need a regular checkup.

  • Pediatricians are doctors that help kids.

  • Pediatricians use all kinds of tools,

  • like an ear thermometer to check your temperature.

  • They listen to your heart with a stethoscope.

  • - [Grover] Sounds good, doc.

  • - [Narrator] And check inside your mouth

  • and throat with a tongue depressor.

  • Sometimes doctors give you shots

  • to keep you from getting sick.

  • There are all kinds of doctors,

  • like dentists who take care of your teeth,

  • or optometrists who take care of your eyes.

  • No matter the kind of doctor,

  • they all wanna help you be healthy.

  • - Boy, being a doctor is really important.

  • They help people every day.

  • Hey, that gives Elmo an idea.

  • Oh, oh, oh, let's play a game together.

  • - Oh yes, I love games!

  • Yeah, let's play a game.

  • - [Elmo] Are you ready to give

  • this little monster a checkup?

  • The doctor needs to check their heartbeat,

  • look in their mouth, and take their temperature.

  • - [Grover] Well, first the doctor needs to check

  • the patient's heartbeat using the rubber chicken.

  • - The rubber chicken? - Grover.

  • A rubber chicken isn't the right tool to check heartbeats.

  • - [Grover] No problem, we will simply try again.

  • - [Elmo] What if we try the stethoscope?

  • (heart beating)

  • - [Grover] Sounds good.

  • Now it is time to check the monster's mouth.

  • - [Elmo] What should the doctor use?

  • - Use the stick. - Use the tongue depressor.

  • - [Grover] Ah, looks good.

  • - [Elmo] The last thing the doctor needs to do

  • is check the patient's temperature.

  • - A thermometer. - Yay!

  • We helped the doctor give a checkup.

  • (both laughing)

  • Boy, Elmo loves learning about doctors.

  • - Mm, me too.

  • - Hey, that makes Elmo wonder even more.

  • Does Mr. Noodle know about doctors?

  • - Noodle?

  • Oh, no spaghetti for me, thank you.

  • - No Grover, Mr. Noodle.

  • Let's ask him.

  • Hey, Mr. Noodle!

  • Oh, it's Mr. Noodle's sister, Miss Noodle.

  • Hi, Miss Noodle. - Hi, Miss Noodle.

  • - Miss Noodle, do you know what a doctor wears?

  • You do?

  • Show us what a doctor wears.

  • - [Kids] Yeah, show us.

  • That's not a doctor.

  • - [Kid] She's dressed as a clown.

  • - [Grover] Very funny, Miss Noodle.

  • - [Elmo] Remember, Miss Noodle,

  • doctors wear special kinds of clothes.

  • - [Kid] She's dressed as a baseball player.

  • - [Elmo] Baseball players do wear special kinds of clothes,

  • but they're not doctors.

  • - [Grover] Try again, Miss Noodle.

  • - [Kids] She's dressed like a doctor.

  • - [Elmo] That's right, Miss Noodle.

  • That's what a doctor wears when they help people.

  • - [Grover] Or teddy bears. (laughs)

  • - Thank you, Miss Noodle.

  • - Bye bye.
