BOTH: Hello! It's us!

Topsy...

..and Tim!

'We're brushing our teeth.'

'Come on.'

PLASTIC TEETH CHATTER

Stop. You've brushed your teeth for two minutes. Well done.

OK, bit of a quick rinse.

Very good. And dry your mouth. Good boy.

And dry your mouth.

Our dentist is going to love our clean teeth.

Wow, yes, they are shiny!

Wow, they're so bright!

Let's look at yours as well, Tim.

'Mummy normally takes us to the dentist's,

'but she is away this week staying with Granny Molly.'

'So Dad is taking us to the dentist's.'

Is there anything else we need before we go to the dentist's?

-Yes!

-Yes!

-I'll go!

What?

Oh, we always bring Eddy Teddy

and Little Moon Bunny to the dentist's with us.

-Oh, OK.

-Come on, Topsy.

-Why do we bring them?

-It's a secret.

-Oh.

-Here you go, Tim.

-Come on, let's go.

Come on, Little Moon Bunny. Come on, Eddy Teddy. And you, Dad.

-Hi, Mr Odell.

-Hi.

-Hello, Topsy and Tim.

-Hello, Mrs Berry!

-Goodness, haven't you grown!

'Our dentist is called Mrs Berry.

'Her assistant is called Kanan.'

'And they have a magic chair that goes up and down.'

-Right, let's get started.

-OK, twins, who wants to go first?

-Me!

-Me!

Yes, of course, on you get, toys. You get the first chair ride.

I see. This is why we brought your toys to the dentist's!

'The first time we came to the dentist's,

'Mummy let us bring our toys with us.'

'And even though we're big now,

'Mrs Berry still lets us bring them every time.'

OK, come on, toys, open up. Open wide.

-What do you say?

-Ahh!

-Ahh!

-Ahh!

Right, very good.

Oh, very good.

-Ahh!

-Ahh!

-Very good. Yes.

If your teeth are as good as your toys' teeth,

you're going to be dazzling me with your smiles.

-They brush their teeth twice a day.

-Who's next?

-Me, me.

-I want to go first.

-OK, Tim, it's your turn next.

OK, can we have the chair down, please, Kanan?

Oh, now, Tim, you know what to do.

-Open wide and say...

-Ahhh.

Ahhh!

OK, let's have a look. Let's have a look.

Oh, yes, you've been brushing very, very well.

Now, I hope you haven't been eating too many sweets or fizzy drinks.

-Uh-uh.

-No, we haven't.

Good. Well, if you do,

just make sure on those days

that you brush your teeth extra well at bedtime.

Tim, you have excellent teeth.

-Topsy, you're next, please.

-Yes!

OK.

Right, Topsy, let's see how you've been doing, then.

-Hold on tight, Topsy.

-Here we go!

-Beep, beep, beep!

-Beep, beep, beep!

That's right. OK, let's have a look at yours.

-Have you been eating lots of chocolate?

-No.

-Honestly?

OK, Topsy, you know what to do. Open wide and say...

Ahhh!

Ahhh!

All right, you can stop now. Let's have a look.

Wow, you have been brushing your teeth very well, too. That's great.

You have excellent teeth, too, Topsy. Well done.

-Thanks, Kanan.

-Whee!

DAD LAUGHS

Now, Topsy and Tim, in about a year or so,

you are going to lose your teeth.

They're going to start wobbling, ready to come out.

Why will they wobble?

It's OK. It's nothing to worry about.

All your milk teeth fall out one by one,

and then that gives you time for your big teeth

-to grow in their place instead, doesn't it, Dad?

-Yeah, exciting.

-New teeth.

-Yeah.

Have you got any friends that are a little bit older than you?

-No.

-No.

-Yes, you have, twins.

-You've got a friend called Josie, who's nearly six.

-Yes, Josie!

You see, Topsy and Tim, losing your milk teeth can be quite fun.

I think you should ask her to tell you all about the tooth fairy.

What's the tooth fairy?

You'll like to hear about the tooth fairy.

-We can ask Josie about the tooth fairy on the way home.

-Great. OK.

Dad, your turn...

'On the way home from the dentist's, Dad lets us call for Josie,

'and she comes to play.'

'And guess what - Josie has a wobbly tooth!'

It's my first milk tooth that's ready to come out.

Look, it's really wobbly.

-Urgh!

-Urgh! It looks all strange!

Urgh! Through to the kitchen, please, you guys.

Josie, do you know about the tooth fairy?

Yes, my mum says when my tooth comes out,

I have to put it under my pillow at bedtime for the tooth fairy.

-Why?

-Why?

The tooth fairy will come when I'm asleep and she'll take my tooth.

-She leaves a coin.

-Wow.

-Wow!

What does the tooth fairy do with your tooth?

She uses it to build a castle, I think.

-Cool.

-Wow!

What does the tooth fairy look like?

My mum and dad say nobody has ever seen the tooth fairy.

-I want to see the tooth fairy.

-So do I.

'We asked Josie lots more questions about the tooth fairy...'

'..until it was time for her to go home

'and time for our bedtime.'

See you in the morning.

-Hello.

-Hello.

-Sleep tight, Tim.

-Night, Dad.

-Night-night.

'Topsy and I have a secret code.

'If one of us knocks on the wall three times,

'the other one has to come through.'

THREE KNOCKS

-What is it, Topsy?

-Look.

PLASTIC TEETH CHATTER

I put these chattering teeth under my pillow.

I'm going to stay awake all night

and wait for the tooth fairy to come and get them.

That's a good idea. I'll get the other teeth.

I want to do it, too.

PLASTIC TEETH CHATTER

Topsy and Tim, what's going on?

What's going on?

What have you got under your pillow, Topsy?

Just the chattering teeth.

PLASTIC TEETH CHATTER

DAD LAUGHS

Why?

Because I want the tooth fairy to come and collect them.

'And that when Dad said...'

BOTH: 'The tooth fairy is far too clever

'to fall for a trick like that.'

The tooth fairy is far too clever

to fall for a trick like that, Topsy and Tim.

The tooth fairy will only come

-when there are proper milk teeth to collect.

-Oh!

-I can't wait until my teeth fall out, so I can see her.

-Nor can I.

I can't wait to see the tooth fairy. I can't get to sleep.

OK, I want you both to try very hard to sleep,

so I can tell Mummy how good you're being while she's away. OK?

-OK.

-Come here.

Let's get you back to your own room.

BOTH: '"And that," said Dad, "was that."'

Night-night, Topsy and Tim.

BOTH: Hello.

Are you good at remembering?

Can YOU remember what happened to us today?

This is our Topsy and Tim memory game. Let's play.

'Today, after our trip to the dentist's,

'we looked at our friend's wobbly tooth.

'Can you remember who had the wobbly tooth?'

'Was it Kerry?'

'Or was it Josie?'

'The answer is behind Wiggles the rabbit.'

'Look. The answer is Josie.'

'Watch this.'

So please show us your wobbly tooth, Josie.

It's my first milk tooth that's ready to come out.

Look, it's really wobbly.

-Urgh!

-Urgh! It looks all strange.

'Great game.'

-That was good fun.

-See you soon!

# We can play day after day

# And the fun will never end
