In young Mohamad Reza’s family the habit of neglecting dental care is handed down from father to son. As a result, Mohamad’s father and grandfather both wear false teeth. Young Mohamad has a bout of severe toothache. In the hospital, whilst the young boy is shaking with pain on the dentist’s chair, an dental specialist faces the camera to explain how teeth should be brushed in order to avoid decay.
