How this list is put together

Here are twenty-eight, chosen one at a time.

First, the crocodile

crocodile dentist game pulls 524 searches a month in English and another 830 in French, and it is not a video game. It is the Hasbro toy: a plastic crocodile with one loose tooth that snaps its jaw on your finger when you press the wrong one.

We have nothing like it, and no browser version of it is any good, because the whole joke is the spring in your hand. If that is what you came for, it is a toy shop you want.

What these actually are

Open the mouth, clean, drill the cavity, pull what is beyond saving, fit a brace, whiten. The loop is short and the result is visible: the tooth was black, now it is white. It is the same pleasure as cleaning a room, in miniature.

Nearly all of them are built for small children. Half carry kids, baby or children in the title and the rest behave identically: big targets, tools that cannot miss, nobody loses, and the patient leaves smiling.

That has one practical use worth naming: this is one of the few genres parents deliberately put on before a real appointment, to take the fear out of the chair.

Five are animals

Hippo, panda, cat, fish and an animal dental hospital. A small, consistent sub-genre, and usually the gentlest of the lot.

What we left out

Of the thirty-three games mentioning teeth, five are not here. Two are not dentist games — a runner and a dinosaur-teeth jigsaw — and three carry somebody else's brand: Masha and the Bear, one named after Squid Game, and one using the talking-cat character.

They stay in the catalogue, because whoever searches should find them. Not on a page we call chosen.

Weight and phones

The median is 6.3 MB, below the catalogue's 7.8 MB. An open mouth and a few instruments need no city and no sky.

Eight of twenty-eight are marked for touch. Tweezers and a drill are point-and-click, which travels well to a finger.
