Once upon a time, there was a squirrel named Sam who loved to be active. Every day, he ran, climbed trees, and played with his friends. His favorite activity was collecting nuts, but there was one problem: Sam had a cavity.

One day, when Sam was out collecting nuts, he noticed that his tooth hurt more than usual. He went to see the dentist and learned that he needed to take better care of his teeth.

From then on, Sam brushed his teeth every morning and night and ate healthy foods like fruits and vegetables. He also drank lots of water to keep his mouth clean. And you know what? His cavity got better and he never had trouble with his teeth again!
