Brush
Your Teeth! came about through a conversation with Jane in the
office at my own dentist, Craig McBeth in Keene, NH. We were talking about
CAESY and the many patient educational tools they provide dentists. As
a multimedia educator, I was surprised to learn that no one was using
children’s music to reduce young patient anxiety and reinforce the
take-care-of-your-teeth message. Having just produced Eat Your Vegetables,
Please!, Brush Your Teeth! seemed like a natural. The more dentists
and pediatric dentists we spoke with about the idea, the more encouraged
we were. The 50-plus children’s musicians responded with enthusiasm,
and in some cases, Chip Mergott, for example, one of Bonnie Raitt’s
favorite songwriters, wrote a song for the compilation.
