Sam was playing in the garden when he heard a giant "Rumble-rumble-crunch!" He looked behind a big oak tree and saw his new friend, Dexter the T-Rex. Sam, an energetic kid with olive skin and short brown hair, waved hello to the massive green dinosaur. Dexter was very friendly, but he looked a little bit grumpy this morning. Sam wondered why such a happy dinosaur would have a frowny face instead of a big toothy grin.
Professor Hoot Says:
"Did you know that some dinosaurs, like the T-Rex, could have teeth as long as bananas?"

Sam walked closer and noticed something strange about Dexter's giant mouth. There were tiny bits of prehistoric leaves and leftover breakfast snacks stuck between his big teeth. "Do you brush your teeth, Dexter?" Sam asked with a curious smile. Dexter shook his heavy head sadly and pointed to his very tiny arms. It was very hard for a T-Rex to reach his own mouth with a regular toothbrush.
Professor Hoot Says:
"Most humans have 32 teeth, but a T-Rex could have around 60 thick, bone-crunching teeth!"

Sam decided it was time for a special lesson on how to keep a dinosaur's smile bright. He ran inside and grabbed his own blue toothbrush to show Dexter the proper way to scrub. Sam moved the brush in little circles, making lots of white, bubbly foam to show how it was done. Dexter tried to copy Sam, but his tiny arms just could not reach his mouth no matter how hard he tried. The poor dinosaur let out a small, disappointed sigh that shook the nearby bushes.
Professor Hoot Says:
"Toothpaste helps remove a sticky film called plaque that can grow on teeth if they aren't cleaned."

Dexter, a friendly green T-Rex with tiny arms, a long tail, and big, sparkling white teeth, looks frustrated as Dexter tries to reach his mouth with his tiny claws.
Sam had a wonderful idea to help his giant friend with the short arms. He found a long, sturdy bamboo pole and tied a soft scrub brush to the very end of it. Now the toothbrush was long enough for even a T-Rex to use comfortably! Sam helped Dexter hold the long handle and guided him to scrub the back teeth and the front teeth. Together, they made enough white bubbles to cover the whole garden in silly, minty fluff.
Professor Hoot Says:
"You should brush your teeth for at least two minutes, which is about the length of your favorite short song!"

Dexter is happily scrubbing his teeth with white foam everywhere.
After a big splash of water from the garden hose, Dexter's teeth were finally sparkling like diamonds. The green dinosaur gave a happy roar that sounded like a giant, joyful giggle. Sam felt very proud because he had helped his friend solve a very ticklish problem. Now, every morning and every night, the two friends brush their teeth together under the big oak tree. Dexter's smile is now the brightest and cleanest thing in the whole neighborhood!
Professor Hoot Says:
"Dinosaurs like the T-Rex didn't have to worry about losing a tooth because they would grow a new one to replace it!"
