Hold up the toothbrush or image. Lead a discussion with the comments and questions below:

● Yes, I was being silly. What do you put on the brush before you brush your teeth? Toothpaste.
● God gave us our teeth to chew food. We should always take care of what God gives us. Why do we brush our teeth? To keep them clean and healthy.
● Who do we visit to check our teeth? The dentist.
● In our game, Dr. Dentabot needed to find Miss Tina. What do you think he needed to tell her; that she needed a new toothbrush, that she had a cavity, or that he needed to cancel her appointment for her teeth cleaning? Children guess.
● Now, let’s watch the video to see if anyone guessed correctly.
Leave the question unanswered until it is revealed in the video.

● Raise your hand if you guessed Miss Tina had a cavity. Children respond.
● How long had Dr. DentaBot been looking for Miss Tina? All summer.
● Where was Miss Tina hiding when the dentist talked to the robots? Behind a chair.
● Did Miss Tina believe she had a cavity? No.
● What couldn’t Miss Tina admit? That she was wrong.
● Which robot reminded Miss Tina that God wants us to be humble and admit when we are wrong? Gears.
● What did Miss Tina finally decide to do? Apologize to Dr. DentaBot and let him fill her cavity.
No one knows everything, and we all make mistakes. When a mistake is made, it is always best to be humble and admit it, and to ask forgiveness. Being prideful does not please God or people. Being humble is always the right choice!
