Become An Animal Dentist

Grab the dental mirror and steady your hand—these animals have teeth that would make a shark wince, and they're counting on you to fix them.

Most dentist games hand you a toothbrush and call it a day. This one actually makes you work for the cure. You're not just poking at a cartoon mouth—you're following a veterinary dentist's actual routine, step by step. Miss a step? The animal leaves with the same rotten tooth it walked in with, and you get to see the disappointed face of a sad puppy. That pressure is real. The first time I got to the molar extraction, I thought I could just yank it out. Nope. You've got to numb the gum first, then loosen the tooth, then pull. The game doesn't tell you that after the first patient—it trusts you to remember. I forgot, and the patient yelped. Lesson learned. The tool order is strict for a reason: scrape off the tartar, drill out the cavity, disinfect, and only then start pulling or filling. Each animal reacts differently too. A cat might hiss if you touch a sore spot; a bunny just trembles. You learn to read the signs. What kept me coming back was the variety—dogs with cracked canines, cats with abscessed molars, even a hamster with a surprisingly grim set of teeth. It's not a horror show, though. The art is bright and friendly, and the animals never look truly distressed, just very, very done with their dental neglect. If you have a soft spot for critters and a steady clicking finger, this one scratches an oddly satisfying itch.

You use the tools of a real veterinary dentist. You must follow a strict order of things in order to heal your patient. His life, or rather his teeth, are in your hands. Your turn to play!

Follow the tool order exactly—skip a step and the patient won't heal, no matter how steady your hand.
