| - | A smile for life. | 0:01 |
| The lesson presented by the American Dental Association. | 0:02 | |
| - | When I was older, | 0:05 |
| going to Dr. Brand | 0:06 | |
| somehow seemed to come last | 0:07 | |
| on my list of things to do. | 0:09 | |
| After all, a guy has lots on his mind, | 0:12 | |
| maybe I was overdue, | 0:15 | |
| but I knew I'd get a friendly reception from Dr. Brand. | 0:17 | |
| And I did. | 0:21 | |
| He told me I had good teeth, | 0:23 | |
| but the way I was going, | 0:25 | |
| I'd never have that smile for life. | 0:27 | |
| Not only missing regular checkups, | 0:31 | |
| but it looked like I was eating a lot of sweets too. | 0:32 | |
| Now how does he know that? | 0:36 | |
| He showed me how. | 0:39 | |
| I was a teenager | 0:40 | |
| and teenagers get careless, | 0:42 | |
| seem to forget all they learn. | 0:44 | |
| He pointed to a chart | 0:47 | |
| that showed that the teens were the | 0:48 | |
| years when most cavities occur. | 0:50 | |
| Snap out of it, he said. | 0:53 | |
| Get back to the rules the way he taught me. | 0:55 | |
| Regular checkups, proper brushing | 0:58 | |
| and easy on sweets. | 1:01 | |
| Later on my way home, | 1:04 | |
| I was sorry for the way I let the doctor down. | 1:06 | |
| From now on teenager or no teenager, | 1:09 | |
| I was going easy on sweets and regular on checkups. | 1:13 |
