Told By a Tooth (1939)
  
This partially animated film demonstrates the four points
to quality dental hygiene. It stresses good nutrition (important
at the end of the Depression), proper exercise of the teeth
and gums, the correct way to use a tooth brush and the importance
of periodic visits to a dentist. The narration is begun by
an animated tooth and covers all these elements in great detail
to ensure that even the youngest of listeners understand how
to better take care of their teeth.
