A gentle toddler story about the big chair, bright light, cold mirror, and slurpy dental hoover.
Mia held Dad's finger very tight.
The chair looked big and shiny.
The arm felt cool and smooth.
I do not like that light, said Mia.
That is okay, Dad said.
It is very bright.
The dentist moved it slowly.
Can it shine on Teddy first?
Mia nodded.
Teddy had a tiny look.
Then Mia had a tiny look.
The hoover made a slurpy sound.
Brrrrp!
Mia covered one ear.
That sound is too big, she said.
We can stop, said the dentist.
Mia breathed in.
Dad squeezed her hand.
The dentist counted her teeth.
One, two, three.
The mirror felt cold.
Then it was finished.
Mia sat up.
My teeth did it, she said.
Yes, said Dad.
And you helped them.
Tap the green sugar bugs. The toothbrush will move and clean them away.
