About Tooth Protectors

In this game the player must prevent objects dropping from the top of the screen from reaching the bottom by positioning their character directly under the falling objects. The player's character is a small smiling face carrying a strand of dental floss above its head. They must prevent the snack squares from reaching the row of white teeth along the bottom of the screen; repeated hits by the snacks cause the teeth to blink and disappear from tooth decay.

Worth knowing

Owned by a 1985 collector. In March 1985 a reader wrote to Electronic Games: "I have collected almost all of the games for the 2600 (Atari VCS). I even have Tooth Protectors by Johnson & Johnson and Chase the Chuckwagon by Ralston-Purina."

Before you buy

Medium risk. No fakes are documented. For a complete copy, check the manual: it ends with Johnson & Johnson product ads, which is a useful completeness check. Compare the label and shell against AtariAge's scans and ask for a board photo.
