Meet the Guardians at FUNtastic Dentistry for Children
During their time travels, a special crew of sparkly-toothed kids stopped in on the present century to conduct a Smiloscopic examination on dentistry for children. The readout on their Smiloscopes showed great progress compared to earlier periods of time, with kids flashing plenty of healthy and happy smiles.
But the team also found that today’s smiles could be even better. So, riding on their Strato Hover Boards (SHBs), they arrived at the pediatric dentist offices of FUNtastic Pediatric Dental to get their advice on improving this century’s Smile Rating. “Nobody should ever get cavities or toothaches,” a FUNtastic Team Member told them. “In fact, taking care of your teeth can be lots of fun. So, with proper care and prevention, there’s no reason we all can’t have great smiles!”
With this knowledge, the group went back to their place in time, but only for a short stay. They soon returned to the present day equipped with the most amazing gear, a mission to improve dentistry for children and a name for their toothy team… The Guardians of the Smile!
As the ultra-smart leader of The Guardians, Jimmy knows that we should brush twice daily, floss once a day, eat the right foods and visit our pediatric dentist regularly!
