*La Dentista*, or *The Dentist* in English, is the story of la muchacha, her cavities, and a visit to the dentist.

## Plot

We start on la muchacha, trembling in her bed. Her mother walks in and shows her the calendar. Today's the day they visit the dentist. La muchacha refuses to go by crying and complaining, saying because she didn't like the dentist. However, according to her mother, she has to go, because she has a cavity. La muchacha denies this, telling her that her mouth doesn't hurt and that she brushes her teeth regularly. Her mother doesn't care however, so the pair are off to the dentist.

We see them drive to the dentist, followed by them waiting outside the office. La Dentista walks out and grabs la muchacha. According to La Dentista her mother said she wanted a filling, which she denies. La muchacha tells the dentist she's fine and brushes her teeth, but like her mother, La Dentista doesn't care either.

La Dentista pulls the girl into her office, and straps her down to the chair. She walks away, turns around mischievously, then pulls off her facial mask. Underneath, we see she has no teeth. Terrified, la muchacha calls for her mother, but she doesn't come. Out of hope, la muchacha pleads to La Dentista to not operate, but she still doesn't care. Cut out back into the waiting room, where all we can hear is the sounds of la muchacha screaming, all the while her mother ignoring by playing on her phone.

We then cut to la muchacha, still in bed. It was all just a dream. Her mother walks in and shows her the calendar, revealing that they're going to the dentist now. La muchacha faints.

## Lyrics

* Spanish
* English
* French

Había una niña
que no quería ir a la dentista.

Ella lloró,
y se quejó.

No le gustaba la dentista
en Chicago.

Su madre le dijo:
—Tienes que ir.
Creo que tienes una caries.

—Pero madre, no me duelen.
Me lavo los dientes.
No me duelen.

—Pero mi hija, no me importa.
Tienes una caries.
Vas a ir ahora.

La niña y su madre
fueron a ver a la dentista.

La mujer entró,
y le dijo
—Abre la boca y silencio.
Tu madre me dice que tienes una caries.

—Creo que no.

—Tu madre me dice que quieres
un empaste.

— ¡Claro que no!
Dentista, no me duelen.
Me lavo los dientes.
No me duelen.

—Muchacha, no me importa.
Tienes una caries.
Voy a operar ahora.

La dentista le dijo:
—Tengo un secreto.

Sonrió y le mostró
algo que le dio miedo.

La dentista no tenía dientes.

— ¡Mamá, no tiene dientes!

La dentista no tenía dientes.

— ¡Mamá, no tiene dientes!

—Dentista, no me duelen.
Me lavo los dientes.
No me duelen.

—Muchacha, no me importa.
Tienes muchas caries.
¡Te voy a sacar los dientes ahora!

There was a girl
who didn’t want to go to the dentist.

She cried
and complained.

She didn’t like the dentist
in Chicago.

Her mother told her,
“You have to go.
I believe you have a cavity.”

“But mother, they don’t hurt.
I brush my teeth.
They don’t hurt.”

“But my child, I don’t care.
You have a cavity.
You are going to go now.”

The girl and her mother
went to see the dentist.

The woman entered
and told her,
“Open your mouth and silence.
Your mother tells me that you have a cavity.”

“I don’t think so.”

“Your mother tells me that you want
a filling.”

“Of course not!”
Dentist, they don’t hurt.
I brush my teeth.
They don’t hurt.”

“Girl, I don’t care.
You have a cavity.
I’m going to operate now.”

The dentist told her,
“I have a secret.”

She smiled and showed her
something that scared her.

The dentist didn’t have teeth.

“Mom, she doesn’t have teeth!”

The dentist didn’t have teeth.

“Mom, she doesn’t have teeth!”

“Dentist, they don’t hurt.
I brush my teeth.
They don’t hurt."

“Girl, I don’t care.
You have a lot of cavities.
I’m going to take all your teeth now!”

C'est l'histoire d'une petite fille
qui ne veut pas aller chez la dentiste.

Elle pleure,
et elle s'enerve.

Voir la dentiste? Mais quelle horreur!

Sa maman lui dit:
"Vas-y, ma chérie.
Je sais que tu as très mal aux dents."

S'il te plaît, je n'ai pas mal.
Je me brosse les dents.
Je n'ai pas mal.

Mais ma chérie, ça suffit!
Tu as mal aux dents -
alors, on y va maintenant.

La fillette
et sa maman
arrivent chez la dentiste.

Elle ouvre la porte,
et lui dit:
"Allez, ouvre la bouche et fait, AH!"

- Ta maman dit que tu as mal aux dents.

- Mais non, mais non!

- Ta maman dit que tu as mal tout le temps!

- Mais non, mais non!

S'il vous plaît, je n'ai pas mal.
Je me brosse les dents.
Je n'ai pas mal.

Écoute-moi, tu ne comprends pas.
Tu as mal aux dents -
je vais les regarder maintenant.

La dentiste lui dit:
"J'ai un sécret pour toi."

Elle la regarde, en souriant, et lui montre un trou géant.

Quelle horreur! La dentiste n'a pas de dents!

- Maman! Elle n'a même pas de dents!

Quelle horreur! La dentiste n'a pas de dents!

- Maman! Elle n'a même pas de dents!

S'il vous plaît, je n'ai pas mal.
Je me brosse les dents.
Je n'ai pas mal.

Écoute-moi, tu ne comprends pas.
Tu as mal aux dents -
je vais les arracher IMMÉDIATEMENT!
## Production

*La Dentista*'s first release would be October 5, 2010 in Wooly's second album "Billy la Bufanda Presenta Más Amigos." The video would begin production somewhere around Fall 2011. Originally during the last shot with La Dentista the background was going to be fire, however this was changed as it seemed too extreme. In addition, originally Wooly intended the whole thing to not be a dream, however his wife talked some sense into him. The video would be released December 5th, 2011.

In October 2017, the sequel book titled "La Casa de La Dentista" would be released.

## Characters

* La Muchacha (voiced by Katie Meyers, gasps from James Wooldridge) - debut.
* La Madre (voiced by Stephanie Moretta in the modern, Jennifer Wooldridge in the classic) - debut.
* La Dentista (voiced by James Wooldridge) - debut.
* Billy la Bufanda (Character) - pictured, cameo (seen on the magazine la madre is reading).

## Trivia

* During the Find the Ganga Girls event, The Ganga Girls can be seen at 1:15 on the mother's magazine.
* The teeth in the animation are highly exaggerated, likely portrayed this way to highlight the theme.
* The original scene with a fire background can seen on the official Bob & Bob Productions website, or on Vimeo in their Character Animation Demo Reel.
	+ On their website, we can also see a still picture of the house.
* A strong resemblance has been noted between parts of the melody in "La Dentista" and the theme song for the 2012 animated series "Gravity Falls."
* This is the first ever Wooly work to be translated into French. This would soon be followed by the Billy l'Écharpe saga.
* The French version is narrated by a feminine voice rather than a masculine one. In addition, in French, there is no mention made of cavities. Also, the French version is narrated in the present tense, unlike the Spanish past-tense narration; it shares this trait with the first song of the Billy l'Écharpe series.
* For some reason, the video has been taken down on YouTube, possibly due to copyright issues. The exact date of the video being taken down is unknown. Re-uploaded videos could be found on TikTok, most of which are posted in segments. uhttps://youtu.be/kNodw-mj2Wc
