In this Uncle Wiggily story, a young boy is terrified to visit the dentist despite a terrible toothache. Uncle Wiggily, overhearing the situation, devises a plan to show the boy that a dentist visit isn't so scary. He enlists Dr. Possum to stage a mock tooth extraction using a piece of glass to represent a tooth. The boy, watching from his window, is amazed by the "bravery" of the rabbit and decides to face his fears. He goes to the dentist and discovers it's not as bad as he imagined, all thanks to Uncle Wiggily's clever trick.
