== Summary ==
While Mother has gone out to grocery store, [[Pingu]] and [[Pinga]] decide to play being dentists. However when Pingu gets out the hammer and chisel to check Pinga's teeth, she runs away and he chases her around the igloo. Then during this chase, a table gets knocked over and Pingu runs into it, hurting his beak and causing it to bleed. Pinga bandages her big brother's beak up and takes him to see the doctor.

Because of their age differences, the doctor at first thinks that Pinga is the patient and takes her inside. She then explains to the doctor that she has brought her big brother to see him, so the doctor shepherds Pingu into his surgery straight away, much to the other patients displeasure. The doctor takes the bandage off Pingu's beak and readies his dental tools, but Pingu is terrified at the sight of them and runs away. Pinga and the doctor chase him round the surgery, until Pingu runs back inside and locks the door behind him. This makes the patients laugh to see the doctor grumbling over being locked out of his own surgery.

Pingu then rings up his Mother to come and be with him. Luckily Mother has just come home who and drives to the doctor's as quickly as she can. She calls through the door to let her son know that she is there and Pingu unlocks and jumps into her wings. Then Pingu sits back down in the dentist's chair and Mother stands behind him, with her wing on his shoulder to comfort him while his beak is being treated, while Pinga, meanwhile, looks at a skeleton of a penguin and blows a raspberry at it. The doctor cleans up Pingu's beak and  puts a brace on it to let it heal for a few days. While this is going on Pinga asks for her beak to be checked too, but the doctor just gives her a lollipop to keep her quiet. She then tries again, to which the doctor just shoves another lolly into her mouth. Pinga kindly cleans the lollipop for Pingu and gives it to him just as they are about to leave. Then as two young penguins wave goodbye to the doctor and his other waiting patients, Mother drives them both back home.

This episode was placed under unofficial ban from broadcast or video distribution (except the UK, Finland, Canada and US) due to seeing real blood.

== Trivia ==
* On top of the Doctor's igloo is the word "Arzt", which means "Doctor" in German. This is a reference to the show's Swiss descent, as German is one of Switzerland's native languages.
*In the US version, "the episode title" is named "I don't want to go to the doctor."
*This is the first episode where a skeleton is shown.
*The skeleton on the side of the doctor's room is similar to [[Pinga]].
*The doctor's surgery looks more like a dentist's room, as can be seen by the look of the chair and the drill and the doctor's outfit.
*The image of the penguin anatomy does not have letters.

== Goofs==
*As Pingu and Pinga wave goodbye to Mother at the beginning, a pillow on the floor shifts by itself.
*The pillow that shifted on the floor appears from nowhere.
