The Adventures of Timmy the Tooth was a direct to video musical puppet series made in the early 1990s. It was about the adventures of a talking tooth named Timmy and all his friends. Despite the dental overtones, there were very few lessons on brushing or tooth care (similar to Veggie Tales having nothing to do with nutrition). Rather, the series was about using your imagination to go on adventures with a few morals at the end about things such as sharing and not being afraid of thunder and lightning. The 10 videos feature the gang of Flossmore Valley as they go on adventures using their imaginations.
