Ricardo González Gutiérrez, known as Cepillín, was a Mexican clown, television presenter, and singer. He initially worked as a dentist and created the persona of “Cepillín” to help children feel less afraid during dental visits. His early exposure came through dental hygiene campaigns broadcast on Canal 12 in Monterrey, which led to a children’s television program that aired from 1971 to 1977. Throughout his career, González released albums including Cepillín Night Fever (1978) and Children’s Rock (1980). Cepillín passed away on March 8, 2021, at the age of 75.
