    In a small town lived a boy named Yuuki. He was a cheerful child, always with a smile on his face. Yuuki was known for his love for sweets. He enjoyed candies, chocolates, pastries, anything that was sweet. However, he had a bad habit, he did not like brushing his teeth.

    Each day, after devouring his favorite sugary delights, Yuuki would skip brushing his teeth. His mother would often remind him about the importance of oral hygiene, but he would just laugh it off.

    One day, Yuuki woke up with an aching tooth. He tried to ignore it, but the pain was unbearable. His mother took one look at his swollen cheek and knew right away - it was a cavity.

    He was taken to the dentist immediately. Sitting in the dentist's chair, Yuuki was nervous. He had heard stories about how much it hurt to get a cavity filled.

    The dentist was a kind and friendly man. He reassured Yuuki that he would feel no pain. He explained that the cavity was a result of not brushing his teeth properly after eating sweets.

    After the treatment, the dentist gave Yuuki a new toothbrush and told him to use it twice a day. He also gave him a tube of toothpaste that tasted like strawberries, hoping it would make brushing more enjoyable for the young boy.

    Returning home, Yuuki was a bit shaken. He had never experienced such discomfort before. His mother comforted him and promised to help him brush his teeth properly.

    The next morning, Yuuki reluctantly picked up his new toothbrush. He squeezed a bit of the strawberry-flavored toothpaste onto it and started brushing. To his surprise, he enjoyed the taste.

    Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months. Yuuki stuck to his new routine of brushing his teeth twice a day. He still enjoyed his sweets, but now he made sure to clean his teeth thoroughly afterward.
