Frank Graves
Frank Graves is the kind dentist who treats young Emily Forbes after her brother Mark fills her head with frightening stories about the visit. He quickly realizes that Emily's fear has more to do with Mark's teasing than with anything in the dentist's office. Dr. Graves gently draws out the truth and then gives Mark a harmless taste of his own medicine. With help from Emily, he lets Mark believe that an enormous needle is on the way before revealing a simple water squirter. His playful lesson helps Mark understand the worry he caused. Beneath the joke, Dr. Graves remains patient and reassuring, giving Emily every reason to feel like his bravest little patient.
