Yummy flavors are always an incentive, for getting your teeth polished; as the choices are endless. The removal of sugar bugs off of the teeth produce a sparking smile, while radiographs help to ensure there is no tooth decay, which may be underlying. Peter learns about taking x-ray pictures and gets a lesson on home care instructions to maintain a healthy dentition.
