Natalie's Tooth Fairy offers advice and encouragement when things aren't going so well for Natalie.

Natalie worries about swallowing a lost tooth, and the smart Tooth Fairy answers her fears. When Natalie moves and is afraid the Tooth Fairy won't be able to find her, she leaves her a shimmery fairy night-light.

Natalie loses tooth #1, the bottom central incisor, and her tooth fairy congratulates her on good tooth brushing and informs her that as she places lost teeth under her pillow, she will receive a "bit of money" in return.
