You guys there's aNOTHER seasonal PTDS at Dr. Carapezza’s office!!! My first tooth-in-short-heels holding a pumpkin, I do believe.

Happy autumn, here are some sporty teeth! How many seasonally appropriate PTDS banners can one dentist share with the world? I intend to find out. Also: am slightly unsettled by the legs and elbows on these toofs.

OMG Dr. Carapezza's PTDSs keep changing with the seasons! Cool Summer Tooth Dude looks like he's enjoying himself (nice kickers) but Bookish Tooth may be my all-time favorite. It's a tooth. Reading a book. I am crying. With appreciation.

One of the best things about emerging, cautiously, from the pandemic: traveling for work again, and spotting #PTDS along the way! Also, looks like this guy is shoving his brush behind his back, trying to hide something. Hmmmmm.

Hats off to Dr. Carapezza, for the not one, not two, not three but *four* PTDSs adorning his festive, smiley office! I'm especially into the matching toothbrush-sock combo on the teal banner, well DONE.

I’m so, so far behind in tooth-posting, and I have no good excuse besides... life. Which is a pretty good one, come to think of it. But here we are, you are, I am! Back.

Big thanks to EK for persisting with the PTDS-sending during my gap year, including a few beauts from LA, CA - like this sweet, fraying toof with a button nose and unassuming chin. More to come.

Editor’s note: We do not recommend brushing teeth while engaging in physically demanding sports activities. Nor do we condone helmet-less football play, which could easily spell disaster for one’s crown. D-I-S-A-S-T-E-R.

As advertised, here’s one of the holistic-est looking tooths I have ever seen, with his blob-hands and pronounced elbows and cheery disposition.

[Lower Manhattan, NY / snapped by Lu “PTDS champion” Olkowski] Sad but true: This startled-looking (perhaps getting held up at gunpoint?) skinny-armed, mouthless, brown tooth is not the greatest advocate for dental hygiene.

Hold on to your top hats, and check out the moustachioed, tattooed, bespectacled, lip(!)-sticked and bearded toofs on this amazing PTDS! Am speechless, am troubled, am full of wonder and a little frightened for the world we live in...

Those are some blissed out Taiwanese personified teeth with moon sliver eyes and mouths and matching lopsided roots!

Nothing says “Happy New Year, PTDS Appreciators!” like a one-eyed tooth from Kyrgyzstan, right? Reminds me (fondly) of dear old Kafkaz, the very skinny, one-eyed horse I rode in Russia a decade-ish ago. And by the way this tooth looks familiar! Strange but true, the very same (and one-of-a-kind) Ms. Cirillo spotted a sibling a bit closer to home and this cousin was spotted in Madrid, back in 2012. Coincidence, OR NOT?

[Barcelona, Spain / snapped by Zenti] Our first ever ETDS! Yes, I do mean Elephantified Tooth Dental Sign and yes I love it too. A lot. Like, a LOT a lot.

So many delightful details in this PTDS! 1. that sweet little sailboat heading down the river 2. Dalmatian on toothpaste tube-shaped flying magic carpet 3. Uneven armness 4. Clouds behind skyline 5. Tiny eyes 6. Very strong girl holding scrubbing very large tooth with very long toothbrush

Have you ever seen such a clever use of teeth-as-n’s? Me (TOOF)either!

The Great PTDS Drought of Summer 2017 has ended thanks to this eerily-human-palmed toof, spotted on this very optimistic advert helping recruit NEEDED dental nurses.

Just another Canadian PTDS featuring an eyeless, leggy tooth with a wide smile and heart-hat hovering above its crown...
