Hello, welcome along to a brand new episode of the Fun Kids Science Weekly. This is the only show that uncovers all the secrets of the universe. My name's Dan. Thanks for giving us a listen. This week, we're learning about a sea beast that is so terrifying. It sparked many sea monster stories of old. Also, you can hear how many dinosaurs weren't always massive. And I got

some of your questions to answer as always. This week, they're about flamingos, watches and trees.

We've had a lot of tree questions on recently. They know what's going on? Maybe being stuck at home

has made you pining for nature and pining for pine trees. I'll answer all of those in just a

sec. First, let's catch up with one of our favourite geniuses on this show. This is Professor Hallux.

Professor Hallux's Digital Dental Depository with support from Phillips Sonicare.

To order great uncle halitosis, dental dental sex Jordanair on the occasion of his 100th birthday,

Professor Hallex is creating a pop-up digital dental depository, an oral help desk.

He's going to see how many questions all about tea he can answer against the clock.

I think the turbine's nearly up to speed.

We're going on a historical heist today.

Are you ready, Nanobot?

I'm ready, so let's go.

First question.

How did people in olden times remove really rotten teeth?

Well, back in the mists of time, if a tooth was causing pain, primitive man would simply

smash it out with a rock or a mallet.

Ancient Chinese dentists trained their fingers to be strong enough to pull the teeth out.

Luckily in more recent times, special

instruments were developed. These are much more hygienic, which is important, because for many

centuries, infections caused by tooth decay and extraction were a common cause of death.

Another good start, Professor. Right, true or false, in past times, you would go to the barbers if you had a toothache.
