* ''WesternAnimation/HarrietTheSpy'' had an episode where Harriet had to go to the dentist to have her last baby tooth extracted by none other than her rival's father (though he's much nicer to her than his daughter is). Harriet, however, is unwilling to part with her tooth, since it's her imaginary friend, General MouthWashington, and it'd be a sign of her being forced to grow up. Eventually, after some encouragement from her friends and family (and having to put up with increasing pain from her tooth being wedged out), Harriet has her tooth extracted.
