PERFORMER | Frank Oz |
DEBUT | 1977 |
Tooth was a guest of honor on one of Sesame Street's "Here Is Your Life" segments.
Guy Smiley hosted the show, and reunited Tooth with Carl Carrot and Melvin Milk (who represented the healthy food that kept him in good shape), a dentist (who made sure he stayed healthy), and toothbrush/toothpaste pair Bristly and Pastey (who keep him from decaying).
The Tooth puppet was later used in Elmo's World: Teeth as the Wisdom Tooth who tells Elmo about different kinds of animal teeth.
