Sam doesn't like going to the dentist, not one little bit! He hides under the dentist's chair, but the dentist regales him with stories about all his other peculiar patients - a hippo with a toothache, a beaver who just can't stop nibbling and a crocodile with a whole mouthful of surprises! Sam forgets his fears, but he doesn't quite believe the dentist's stories . . . does he?
