Are You Getting Enough Fluoride?
I went to the dentist the other day for a cleaning, and she asked me if I use mouthwash that contains fluoride. I shook my head and said, "My toothpaste has fluoride in it, isn't that enough?"

The Song Dentists Rock Out To
Music videos are getting weirder and weirder, but at least this one has a good message. What's not so good are the cringe worthy close-up shots of people's (gulp) private mouth parts. Overall, the song makes me want to get my floss on while shakin' my bon-bon.
