This is My Family season six, episode three, titled Dentally Unstable. In this episode, the Harpers are dealing with a slew of dental issues. It all starts when Ben thinks he's discovered a cavity but is horrified when he finds out it's actually his filling that's fallen out. Susan, convinced that Ben is exaggerating the pain, offers to fix it herself, but things only get worse when she manages to glue his mouth shut.
Meanwhile, Nick is convinced that he needs braces and enlists the help of Michael to get them. But when he sees the price tag, he realizes that he can't afford them and instead turns to an unlicensed dentist who offers the same treatment for a fraction of the cost. However, the family soon discover the dentist is a con artist and Nick's teeth are left in an even worse state than before.
Janey, on the other hand, discovers a whole new world of dental hygiene when she starts seeing a new guy who is obsessed with oral health. Mortified by her own lack of dental care, Janey embarks on a rigorous new regime to get her teeth in mint condition. But her newfound obsession causes chaos in the Harper household, and the family soon find themselves at odds over brushing techniques and mouthwash brands.
Meanwhile, Abi's broken her retainer and is desperately trying to keep it a secret from her parents. She enlists Roger's help to fix it himself, but the end result is far from perfect and Abi is left with a lisp that has the whole family in stitches. Determined to fix things, Abi takes matters into her own hands and attempts to fix the retainer herself – with disastrous consequences.
As the family's dental issues mount, Susan is forced to take drastic action, and she sets up a family dental clinic in the living room. But as the Harper's attempts to fix their dental problems only serve to make things worse, they soon find themselves in desperate need of professional help – and fast.
