amateur dentist

Amateur dentist is a melee item that accumulates teeth through attacks and can lose teeth when the user takes damage. Teeth improve several attacks and user stats. Its tooth counter is a gameplay resource; the separate combo-score display is cosmetic and should not be treated as another damage multiplier.

How it works

The basic attack is a three-part punch combo. Critical is a stronger, signaled punch that applies knockback and ragdoll; Headbutt adds hitstun and a brief visual flash. Each move has its own tooth-gain chance and scaling coefficient. Taking damage can remove teeth, so an advanced tooth count is a changing state rather than a permanent upgrade for the whole round.

The source is internally inconsistent about Critical’s starting damage: its statistics say twenty before tooth scaling, while the functionality says sixteen. Both descriptions use the larger per-tooth coefficient for Critical. The table keeps that disagreement visible instead of manufacturing a precise total. Tooth-based maximum-health and movement bonuses also follow different increments, so an attack calculation cannot be reused as a health calculation.

Taunts and the combo meter add presentation tied to actions such as hits and kills. The bazooka tooth badge is associated with reaching fifty teeth, while Jawbreaker is a badge from The Fine Game of Nil with an audio interaction here. Those are separate achievements, not alternate names for the same reward. The April 2026 fix concerned that audio interaction. BOSS and TC blacklists are listed below because the item’s availability is distinct from its strength after scaling.

The tooth counter therefore deserves attention both while attacking and after taking damage, rather than only when a milestone appears.
