Tooth Protectors
Johnson & Johnson presents
TOOTH PROTECTORS
Video Game Instructions
(screen shot)
The object of Tooth Protectors is to guide T.P. (the Tooth Protector)
as he protects the teeth during a Snack Attack. Valuable points are
accumulated as T.P. deflects the cubes dropped by the Snack Attackers.
Additionally, if you are successful in protecting the teeth from decay,
valuable bonus points can also be earned.
If T.P. misses a number of cubes, the teeth begin to blink, a sign of
decay. Additional Tooth Protectors can be called by pressing the red
Action Button. The toothbrush, dental floss and fluoride dental rinse
pass over the teeth, in order, cleaning up the teeth by removing all the
plaque.
The game ends if 3 teeth disappear, or if 3 T.P.s are carried away and
eliminated by the Snack Attackers.
When you are successful in protecting the teeth, valuable points will
be accumulated, and there will be no end to the fun you can have!

warning sound! At any time, a Snack Attacker may swoop down and try to
carry away T.P!

Attackers.

Attack. To move on to the next level, you must successfully protect the
