Hi, little one. Today your friend Growy takes you to a bright little castle with a shiny chair inside. This is where teeth come to be counted and cared for. A friendly beaver in a white coat waves hello.

The chair is big, and above it there is a round light like a little sun. You feel unsure. Growy gives your hand a squeeze. 'We are not here to do anything scary. We are just going to get to know it.'

The beaver shows you a tiny mirror on a stick and lets you hold it. Then the chair leans back, slowly, like a gentle ride. 'Shall we count your teeth?' the beaver asks. 'Like counting little stars.'

You open wide. One, two, three... it tickles a bit. The beaver brushes each tooth, and as each one is counted it gives a tiny twinkle, like a little star. 'All healthy and strong!' It did not hurt at all. Growy grins: 'What you get to know stops being scary.'

You hop down with a clean, shiny smile and a brand-new toothbrush. The castle is not scary anymore. Now it is just a place you know. Then Growy asks, 'So, little one... did we grow a little today?' You did. 'Here is your little grow for tomorrow,' says Growy. 'Brush your teeth and count them out loud, like counting little stars.' See you next time, little one.
