Some children are afraid to go to the dentist (牙医), but not me. I'm a boy of 8 and I have a funny dentist. His name is Dr. Smileyface. I don't think that's his real (真实的) name. But when the children go to see him, he tells his name to all of them.

He has a cool waiting room. It has computer games and a big toy box. Dr. Smileyface always wears funny hats. Sometimes he paints his face. He asks funny questions like "Are you married（结婚）?" and "Do you eat flowers to make your breath (呼吸) smell so sweet?" That makes me laugh. One time, he tells me this joke (玩笑）, "What has lots of teeth but never goes to the dentist? A comb (木梳) ! " When I laugh, he pulls my tooth out. It doesn't hurt at all (一点不疼)! He also tells me how to take care of my teeth in an interesting way. Before I leave (离开), he always gives me a surprise (惊喜). This time he gives me a toy ship and I like it very much.
