I'm pretty sure that in the game you actually pull the teeth out, not press down on them. I'm changing it to reflect that; if I'm incorrect then I apologize. Cuttycuttiercuttiest (talk) 02:25, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I seem to remember that the toy I had as a child was also the teeth-pulling kind, but the teeth-pushing version is a lot more common now. Though I'm not sure if it's an official improvement or whether these are all knockoffs, I'm seeing a lot of them lately (in different sizes, plus a Lilo & Stitch version) and they're all the pushing type. 119.45.34.55 (talk) 04:38, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In popular culture

This game was also used as a small prize on The Price is Right in 1993. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.240.192.75 (talk) 15:42, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It might be useful to explain the "sore tooth"

Is it unknown during play which will be the sore tooth? One would think so, but it's not clear. How is the sore tooth determined; i.e., what causes one tooth to be the sore tooth? Does it, as one might speculate, change from game to game? 71.60.69.158 (talk) 07:05, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

When playing, there is no obvious distinction between which tooth is the sore one. All teeth are visually the same, and when pressing down on the sore tooth, it feels no different from the other teeth, with no difference in resistance. The sore tooth does change from game to game, otherwise it'd be a pointless game. hankster112 (talk) 00:01, 13 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
