1. Brush with Greatness

Mum: ‘Luna, Fizzle, it’s time to get ready for bed.’

Luna: ‘OK, mum! Come on, Fizzle. We need to get ready.’

Fizzle: ‘For what?’

Luna: ‘For bed!’

Fizzle: ‘What’s that?’

Luna: ‘When the sun goes down and it gets dark outside, humans go to bed and sleep until the next day when the sun comes back and it’s bright again!’

Fizzle: ‘Oh! On my home planet, there are three suns so it never gets dark. We don’t have bedtime there.’

Luna: ‘Well since you crashed in our garden, I’ll have to teach you how bedtime works!’

Fizzle: ‘Aww, but I’m in the middle of eating all my sweets!’

Luna: ‘Sweets? You’ll need to brush your teeth extra hard.’

Fizzle: ‘Brush? My teeth?’

Luna: ‘Don’t you brush your teeth on Planet Popsy, either?’

Fizzle: ‘What’s a brush?’

Luna: ‘Come with me.’

Luna: ‘Here. This is a toothbrush. Get brushing!’

Fizzle: ‘OK!’

Luna: ‘Fizzle, no! Not like that. That’s your nose!’

Fizzle: ‘Exactly. That’s where all my teeth come from. Shouldn’t I save them for The Tooth Fairy?’

Luna: ‘Fizzle, don’t be silly! Those aren’t teeth. Those are... Ewww! Bogies! Teeth are the white things in your mouth.’

Fizzle: ‘Oh! I’ve got lots of those. Look!’

Luna: ‘Wow! Teeth are one of the hardest parts of your body. They’re made up of layers of different materials. The top layer is super hard and it’s called “enamel”. It’s perfect for helping you to chew your food so that your tummy can break it down and turn it into energy!’

Fizzle: ‘So my teeth are why I’ve got so much energy?!’

Luna: ‘But when we eat foods full of sugar or acid –like those super sour cola bottles you were chewing on before – it can cause tooth decay. That’s where you get a toothache and, if you’re not careful, eventually the teeth will fall out of your mouth!’

Fizzle: ‘Oh no! Help! I ate so many sweets and now all my teeth are going to rot and die!’

Luna: ‘Don’t worry, Fizzle! That’s why we brush our teeth. If we keep them nice and clean, then they’ll stay nice and healthy forever! You should brush your teeth two times a day. And one of those times is right before bed so you can go to sleep with a nice, clean set of chompers.’
