The Day My First Tooth Fell Out
Riya feels scared when her first tooth suddenly falls out, but her mom gently reassures her it's a special moment. That night, Riya learns how brushing her teeth keeps her new smile healthy and bright as she excitedly looks forward to growing new teeth.
One sunny morning, Riya noticed her tooth was very wiggly. She poked it with her finger and giggled, but then she felt a little unsure. Mom, my tooth is moving! she said softly. Her mom smiled and knelt beside her, saying, That means you're growing up! Riya watched her mom's warm smile and felt a tiny spark of excitement.
During lunch, Riya tried to eat her apple but her wobbly tooth made her nervous. Suddenly, the tooth popped right out into her hand! She gasped and looked up at her mom with wide eyes. Oh! My tooth fell out! she whispered. Her mom hugged her gently and said, That’s okay, Riya. It’s a special sign you're growing up! Riya felt a little less scared with her mom’s hug.
Riya wondered where her tooth should go. Her mom showed her a little box to keep it safe. This is your special tooth box, her mom explained softly. Riya smiled shyly and placed her tiny tooth inside the box. She held it close and felt proud that her tooth was treasured. Maybe the Tooth Fairy will visit me! Riya whispered with a happy sparkle in her eyes.
That evening, Riya looked at her reflection in the mirror. Her smile was different now, with a tiny gap where the tooth had been. She touched it softly and whispered, I hope my new tooth grows soon. Her mom came beside her with a light blue toothbrush and said, Let’s brush carefully to keep your smile healthy. Riya nodded, feeling brave and excited to take care of her teeth.
As Riya brushed her teeth with her mom’s help, bubbles and foam formed on her bright yellow dress. Brush up, brush down, her mom sang gently. Riya giggled as the toothbrush tickled her gums where the tooth had fallen. Good job, Riya, her mom cheered. Riya felt proud to take care of her smile like a big girl.
After brushing, Riya’s mom told her stories about how new teeth grow strong and healthy when cared for. Riya listened closely, eyes wide with wonder. Your smile will shine bright like the stars, her mom said softly. Riya hugged her mom, feeling safe and happy. She couldn’t wait to see her new tooth one day.
That night, Riya tucked the tooth box beside her bed. She dreamed of sparkling new teeth and smiling wide. When she woke, she glanced in the mirror and smiled at the little gap. It was a special secret between her and her mom—a big step in growing up. Riya felt happy and proud of her brave smile.
The next morning, Riya and her mom brushed their teeth together with big smiles. Brushing keeps your new teeth strong and bright, her mom said with a wink. Riya nodded eagerly and brushed carefully. Her world felt a little brighter, full of magic and care, as she looked forward to the wonderful smile growing inside her.
