Walt Disney's silent era produced two educational films for Dr. Thomas B. McCrum of Walt Disney's native Kansas City. His first was Tommy Tucker's Tooth made in 1922 during his Laugh-O-Gram days. Then in 1926, after Walt relocated to Hollywood and was well on his way with the Alice in Cartoonland series, Dr. Thomas B. McCrum requested a second film, which was titled Clara Cleans Her Teeth.
I was very lucky to have obtained this rare piece of Disney history (that some believe lost). Seems how I anticipate questions regarding how I acquired it, I'll explain here: For some time now, I have been collecting various Disney films of the silent era via the computer; downloading and sorts. One torrent caught my eye, having all the surviving Laugh-O-Grams and this along with them. They seemed to be edited from a television presentation of some kind; some had narrative and background info, and others simply had musical scores, and some, like this one, were entirely silent. Beyond that, I really couldn't say what my source is.

@avalanchesuperstar Because it was released to DVD by Inkwell, the rights of that particular version also belong to Inkwell---and Inkwell doesn't tollerate videos on youtube the same way Disney does. Even if you credit the rights to a party, that party still has full capacity to remove any videos it wishes.

@avalanchesuperstar Tommy Tuckers Tooth isn't lost. In fact, I have it on DVD. It was released along with the surviving Laugh-O-Gram films to DVD by Inkwell Images. You can find it on Amazon
