No, but in one episode, Caillou (a 4 year old) takes a walk around the block while his mother is sleeping. To the surprise of literally nobody, the episode was banned.

As far as I know, through Caillou's fantasy, there are dragons that are shown and don't die in two episodes, in which he scared it away by throwing a water to it and tamed an another one.

The closest thing to tooth damage would be the "loose tooth" plot typical in young children's shows. Since they're baby terth, there is no actual damage shown or done.

Cops are constantly portrayed as heroes and neighborhood helpers. An episode even had Caillou pretend to be a police officer.

Despite Urban Legends and online jokes by haters about Caillou being bald due to chemotherapy, Caillou does not have cancer in the actual show.
