Teeth is the 24th episode of Elmo's World.

What is Elmo Thinking about Today?

Elmo opens his closet door to reveal shelves full of chattering teeth, which all fall on top of him.

Mr. Noodle

Dorothy wants to know how you take care of your teeth.

Mr. Noodle's brother Mr. Noodle demonstrates by shoving a tube of toothpaste into his mouth and gets himself covered in toothpaste before he begins to brush his eyelids, hair, ears, and finally his teeth with his electric toothbrush.

Dorothy Wants to Ask Someone Else

Kids brush their teeth and eat carrots to show how they can take care of their teeth as a baby gums on a biscotti.

Quiz

Since Dorothy, Elmo, and babies don't have teeth, Elmo wants to know what has teeth and what doesn't. Birthday cakes don't, but you use your teeth to eat a birthday cake. Birds don't - they have beaks. Benny Rabbit appears in an answer that bunnies have teeth and says "That's Benny! Not Bunny!"

Video Email

The Count shows Elmo how he brushes his two teeth with a special toothbrush.

Elmo Has a Question for You

Elmo counts four apples eaten by a set of teeth in his new video game which shares a close resemblance to Pac-Man. The game ends with a teeth bursting from the bang as Elmo shouts "Bonus Points!"

Film

Elmo's friend Nicholas tells Elmo all about his first trip to the dentist. The dentist tells him he has twenty teeth and uses a camera to show him what they look like on a small TV.

TV

The Teeth Channel airs "All About Teeth" with the Tooth Fairy. She describes the process of growing and losing your first teeth, and how she leaves a quarter for each tooth lost. Coming up next: To Tell the Tooth, followed by Tooth or Consequences.

Interview

Elmo talks to a very smart wisdom tooth. She tells Elmo all about what teeth do, even if it is a bit of a grind.

Tickle Me Land

Dorothy imagines Elmo as a beaver, a shark and an elephant.
