Healthy Teeth, Healthy Me is a bi-lingual educational outreach tool kit by Sesame Street, released in 2012.
The kit includes a 13-minute video, consisting of several songs and cartoons about taking care of one's teeth with a introduction by Elmo.
New Muppet segments include the songs "Can't Go Wrong" and "Open Sesame." A song called "Brushy Brush" includes celebrities Bruno Mars, David Hyde Pierce, Nicole Kidman, Amy Ryan, Wendy Williams, Jay Sean, Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber.
The video also includes animated segments of the superhero, Captain Super Ultra Mega Smile Man.
The kit also introduces a new online game, "Brush Those Teeth," starring Guy Smiley.
The launch event for "Healthy Teeth" featured Gordon (Roscoe Orman) and Abby Cadabby (Carrara), as well as an Elmo costumed character. (YouTube)
