Toothache of The Clown (Color, 1971)
Made to assuage children’s fears of the dentist, this film manages to combine nothing but the creepiest elements into one terrifying mind-scratcher. Hallucinating from pain, or laughing gas, this clown has surreal nightmares of children dressed as dental technicians pulling arts and crafts out of the insides of other children dressed as decaying teeth. This is one “trip” to the dentist you won’t want to miss.
If you are nothing but a giant mouth puppet with legs, you had better make sure your teeth aren't yellow and your breath doesn't stink, but Big Mouth has got better things to do than deal with dental hygiene. Hopefully, Dr. Jules can set Big Mouth on the right path so he can share his giant pearly whites with everyone!
Like the California Raisins of Oral Hygiene, The Munchers is a trippy, psychedelic rockucational film for all tastes. Dancing and singing on some kind of a mouthy bandstand, the Munchers fall victim to the Pusherman Jack Sweet, a masked demon that has an endless supply of delicious candy. Can the peg-legged, metal-skulled old toothman convince the young Munchers to stay clean and candy free? If not him, then maybe the conga-line of anthropomorphic healthy foods can do the trick.
Tooth Truth with Harv and Marv (Color, 1976)
The animated stoners, Harv and Marv want to get to the root of dental hygiene, but it takes a girl in a terrifying rabbit costume with enormous eye-lashes to set them on the right path! Good thing they are miniature (and cartoons) so they can spy on boys and girls as they wash up for bed (nothing creepy about that!). An earlier edition than the Rifftrax short.
It's Dental Flossophy Ch@rlie Brown (Color, 1979)
Healthy Teeth (Color, 1960s)

Come along as we learn great dental habits with the perfect American nuclear family...and their pet monkey! See as the monkey learns to brush and floss, but also as he plays and sleeps next to the children, eats with the family and gets to go to the dentist. I wonder if that's sanitary?
