Tooth Buddy Tales ©             Show scenario
tooth buddy
This show constantly changes to better communicate.
It has two performers (in the style of Kukla, Fran & Ollie).
The current scenario is Zeebo wants to become a "Tooth Buddy". The
audience is empowered to help teach him how.
Since the audience helped him, they are also tooth buddies.

At the end of the program the people in attendance are given an activity book.
This has important information:
Why and when (for the first time) to see a pediatric dentist.
What to do in case of dental emergencies.
When teeth are (generally) lost and erupt.
Information on early intervention (orthodontics).
Sealants

The whole booklet can be easily turned into a growth chart.
What Zeebo (and the audience) Learns:

One is not stuck with the germs that can cause cavities.
How to brush (scrub and brush do not rush).
When to brush (after breakfast and before going to sleep).
Good/Bad snacks (if it is sticky and sweet it is a yucky treat) - other treats that can be asked for.
