Visiting Dr. Greg

Hi. I'm Charles the Bear Cub. You know me. I live on Sparkle Road with my buddy, James. He's really old. He was the second Canadian to get off Noah's Ark, you know.

Oh. Wait! Chance lives with us, too. He's a newborn cubby someone left in a basket on our doorstep. He's a wee little thing. He doesn't have any teeth. He doesn't even have a tail! I look after Chance, too. He climbs way high on things and can't get down. I have to help him. He's a handful!

Guess where we are? We're visiting Dr. Greg. He's my dentist. Dentists are tooth doctors. Dentists look after our teeth. It's time for my checkup. Dr. Greg says, "Open wide, Charles." I open w-a-y wide so Dr. Greg can look inside my mouth. I don't have any cavities this time. That's 'cuz I brush and floss my teeth every day after I eat.  I brush like this. "Back and forth like a choo-choo train and up and down like an aeroplane!" Brushing my teeth is fun. Know why? 'Cuz I have a Ninja Turtle toothbrush and Spiderman toothpaste.

Chance doesn't have any teeth but Dr. Greg checks his gums. Chance has healthy gums. One day he'll cut a tooth and it will be healthy.

Dr. Greg gave us something nice. It's a tooth timer. I set it on the sink and I brush until all the sand falls to the bottom. That's how I know I'm done.

Then we get ready for James to read us  our bedtime story and hear our bedtime prayers.

 Oh. Wait! Did you hear that? James is hollering, "Where are my handsome bear cubs? Where are my Sons of Windsor? Where are my Princes of Ontario? That's me! Charles! That's Chance! We're handsome bear cubs. We're Sons of Windsor and Princes of Ontario! We gotta go find James so we can get our ears tickled and our noses kissed.

 This is me, Charles the Bear Cub saying, "Be good citizens. Brush and floss after every meal. Then you can eat Smarties and drink root beer. Oh! Wait! Come over to our house and play with us! We can brush and floss together! Okay! Over and out!"

We Visit Dr. Greg and Miss Lana on St. Valentine's Day

Hi. I'm Charles the Bear Cub. You know me. I live on Sparkle Road with my buddy, James. He's really old. He was the second Canadian to get off Noah's Ark, you know.

Oh. Wait! Chance lives with us, too. He's a newborn cubby someone left in a basket on our doorstep. I think the angels left him there. He came wrapped up in a little green blankie and he had a bottle and a note that read, "Please look after me."  He's a wee little thing. I look after Chance. He's a handful!

Know what? Chance and me are at the dentist's office.We go there every six months. Miss Lana is a dental high genius. She checks our teeth. Miss Lana is very pretty and very nice. I think she might be a princess, you know. I could be a dental high genius when I grow up. I would say, "Sit up straight, my son. Open wider, my son." Then I would clean some teeth.

I have strong, healthy teeth. That's 'cuz I brush and frost after I eat. I hate cavities. Cavities hurt. Bear cubs who don't brush and frost get cavities. Cavities are holes. They're not nice at all. Cavities are not our friends.

Chance is too little to have teeth. That's 'cuz he's a newborn cubby. When Miss Lana brought out the little mirror to look in Chance's mouth, he tried to eat it. We don't eat mirrors, you know. Miss Lana says Chance has healthy gums. One day he will have healthy teeth and he can eat Smarties. I'll share my Smarties with Chance. Smarties are taste-O-liscious.

This is how to brush your teeth.

Back and forth like a choo-choo train
And up and down like an aeroplane!

That is how the toothbrush goes. I have a Ninja toothbrush and Spiderman toothpaste.

Oh! Dr. Greg is nice. He's the bestest dentist every. He gave me and Chance a St. Valentine's toy because we were so good. I got a Cecil the Sea Serpent toothbrush. It folds up really small so I can carry it in my suitcase when we go on VIA Rail/. Chance got a coin purse with a BIG smile on it. He can keep loonies and toonies in there. Thank you, Dr. Greg! Thank you, Miss Lana!"

 Oh. Wait! Did you hear that? James is hollering, "Where are my handsome bear cubs? Where are my Sons of Windsor? Where are my Princes of Ontario? That's me! Charles! That's Chance! We're handsome bear cubs. We're Sons of Windsor and Princes of Ontario! We gotta go find James so we can get our ears tickled and our noses kissed.

 This is me, Charles the Bear Cub saying, "Be good citizens. Brush and frost your teeth every day. Be true to your teeth or they will be false to you! Oh! Wait! Come over to our house and play with us! We can brush and frost together! Okay! Happy St. Valentine's Day. Over and out!"

Our Visit with Dr. Greg

Hi. I'm Charles the Bear Cub. You know me. I live on Sparkle Road with my buddy, James. He's really old. He was the second Canadian to get off Noah's Ark, you know.

 Oh. Wait! Chance lives with us, too. He's a newborn cubby someone left in a basket on our doorstep. He's a wee little thing. I look after Chance, too. He's a handful! 

Know what? We're visiting Dr. Greg. He's a dentist. I know what dentists do. They are tooth doctors. Dr. Greg is very nice. He says I have a cavity. Cavities are bad. They are little holes. They come when we don't brush and frost after eating Smarties and and wallermelon and drinking root beer. Sugar isn't nice to our teeth.

Dr. Greg says, "This will pinch a little bit. He puts my mouth to sleep so he can chase away the cavity. I'm very brave. I hold very still and almost don't cry at all. That's 'cuz I'm five and Chance is watching. I have to be brave for Chance, you know. I set a good example. When we're all done, I get a really pretty sticker! Chance gets one, too. We'll be back to see Dr. Greg and Miss Donna in January. Remember to be true to your teeth or they will be false to you!

I could be a dentist you know. I would say, "Open wider, please" and "turn your head this way." Then I would use the drill to chase away the cavities. Cavities would be afraid of Dr. Charles. I would give all the brave little bear cubs stickers and Spiderman toothpaste and Ninja toothbrushes, too.

Oh. Wait! Did you hear that? James is hollering, "Where are my handsome bear cubs? Where are my Sons of Windsor? Where are my Princes of Ontario? That's me! Charles! That's Chance! We're handsome bear cubs. We're Sons of Windsor and Princes of Ontario! We gotta go find James so we can get our ears tickled and our noses kissed. 

This is me, Charles the Bear Cub saying, "Be good citizens. Brush and frost your teeth every time you eat Smarties and drink root beer. Oh! Wait! Come over to our house and play with us! We can brush and frost together! Over and out!"

Our Visit with Miss Donna at the Dentist's Office

Hi. I'm Charles the Bear Cub. You know me. I live on Sparkle Road with my buddy, James. He's really old. He was the second Canadian to get off Noah's Ark, you know.

 Oh. Wait! Chance lives with us, too. He's a newborn cubby someone left in a basket on our doorstep. He's a wee little thing. I look after Chance, too. He's a handful! 

Know what? Chance and me are visiting Dr. Greg and Miss Donna. He is a dentist. I know what a dentist is. He looks at our teeth 'cuz he's a tooth doctor.

Today Miss Donna is cleaning my teeth. I brush my teeth after every meal with Spiderman toothpaste and my Ninja toothbrush. Oh! Wait! Then I frost them with the little green string. Two times a year I get my toofies cleaned by Miss Donna. She's the boss of tooth cleaning. She's very nice. She has a nice laugh. She might be a princess, you know.

Chance doesn't have to get his teeth cleaned 'cuz he doesn't have any. He's a wee little thing, a newborn cubby.  He just drinks condensed owls' milk in his bottle.

Miss Donna checks Chance's gums. She says they're healthy gums. That's good. I don't know where unhealthy gums go. Maybe they go to a gum hospital. Maybe we could ride in an ambulance to the gum hospital and we can make siren noises!  I'll ask James. He knows lots of things. He'll know, for sure!

Miss Donna gave us stickers 'cuz we're brave. Well, I was brave. Chance climbed up on top of the light and Miss Donna had to get him down. Chance climbs on everything he can. He took off his diaper, too. He really is a handful, you know.



Oh. Wait! Did you hear that? James is hollering, "Where are my handsome bear cubs? Where are my Sons of Windsor? Where are my Princes of Ontario? That's me! Charles! That's Chance! We're handsome bear cubs. We're Sons of Windsor and Princes of Ontario! We gotta go find James so we can get our ears tickled and our noses kissed. 

This is me, Charles the Bear Cub saying, "Be good citizens. Brush you teeth and frost them, too. Then you can eat Smarties and drink root beer. Oh. Then you have to brush and frost some more. Know what?  Be true to you teeth or they will be false to you!   Oh! Wait! Come over to our house and play with us! We can brush and frost together!  Okay! Over and out!"

Air

Hi. I'm Charles the Bear Cub.  You know me. I live with my buddy,  James, on Sparkle Road. It's my job to look after him 'cuz he's old and forgetful. I worry sometimes he will forget how to breathe!

Know what? I'm being a good citizen. This car belongs to my buddy Peter. I'm checking his tires for air. Air is good. Tires need air, just like bear cubs. If tires don't have air, we're not going anywhere. I like to go places so I wanna make sure there's enough air in the tires for us to get there. I bet you that air is one of the four food groups in the Canada Food Guide. I know! I'll ask  James. He knows lots of things. Yeah. That's a good idea. Okay.

I have to go find James. When he sees me he'll holler, "There's my handsome bear cub! Come here my Son of Windsor! Come here my Prince of Ontario! He'll scoop me up and tickle my ears and kiss my nose. This is me Charles the Bear Cub saying, "Be good citizens and check for air your tires. Oh! Wait! Don't forget to brush your teeth, today. I hope you have a Ninja toothbrush like me. Bye for now!"

Visiting the Dentist

Hi. This is me. Charles the Handsome Bear Cub. You know me. I live on Sparkle Road with my buddy James. I look after him 'cuz he's forgetful and old. He was the second Canadian to get off Noah's Ark. He must be 20!

Every day James hollers, "Who's a handsome bear cub? Who's a Son of Windsor? Who's a Prince of Ontario? That's me! Charles!  I come running to get my ears tickled and my nose kissed.

Know what? I am at Dr. Gregg's office. He's a dentist. That's a tooth doctor. I'm gonna get my teeth checked. I brush my teeth every day with my Ninja toothbrush. Don't eat toothpaste, okay. It's not in the Canada Food Guide, you know.

Dr. Gregg has a sign that says, "Be true to your teeth or they will be false to you." I know what that means.  James has teeth that come out at night. They are false teeth. They didn't lie or anything, they're just false. I sure hope Dr. Gregg gives me a new Ninja toothbrush. Oh! Wait! Maybe he will give me some licorice. No! Wait! Gummy worms. Yeah. I hope he gives me gummy worms. The lady is calling my name. Okay. I gotta go, now. Bye!
