'"Clean as a Hound's Tooth" is the sixth episode of The Jetsons season three, and the sixty-ninth overall. It aired on November 2, 1987 in syndicated markets that featured The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera programming blocks. It was written by George Atkins, and voice directed by Gordon Hunt.

George finds out a toothache is the cause of his recent bad nights. He is given a pair of experimental dentures that can temporarily relieve the pain, but finds out too late they're for dogs, making him spontaneously act like a dog.
