Toothy the dentist (with very little experience) is treating Nutty's tooth problem -- a rotten tooth/cavity. With the help of his instructional book, he first tries picking it out using a probe before improperly injecting Novocain into the squirrel's mouth. Next, he tries drilling the tooth, only to run out of battery. Fortunately (or unfortunately?), he inserts a brand new battery into his drill. He then proceeds with drilling further, causing him to create a hole on the back of poor Nutty's head. Panicked, Toothy tries to find another way to resolve this. He ends up using the old-fashioned method of pulling the rotten tooth using a string tied to a doorknob, with the doorknob itself located at Lumpy's house. When Lumpy opens the door, all Toothy has accomplished is the loss of Nutty's jaw except for the rotten tooth at first, until the closing iris shows that particular tooth finally popping out.

* DIYDentistry: [[SweetTooth Nutty]] goes to a rather unexperienced dentist named Tootht to get rid of his rotten tooth. Toothy tries the old-fashioned method of tying one end of a string to the tooth and the other to a doorknob. This procedure ends with Nutty's whole lower jaw being ripped off, with the rotten one being one of the few teeth not to fall out.
* ThrowTheDogABone: Nutty, Toothy, and Lumpy survive.

"Nuttin' but the Tooth" is the thirteenth episode of the first (internet) season of ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends''.

Toothy the dentist (with very little experience) is treating Nutty's tooth problem -- a rotten tooth/cavity. With the help of his instructional book, he first tries picking it out using a probe before improperly injecting Novocain into the squirrel's mouth. Next, he tries drilling the tooth, only to run out of battery. Fortunately (or unfortunately?), he inserts a brand new battery into his drill. He then proceeds with drilling further, causing him to create a hole on the back of poor Nutty's head. Panicked, Toothy tries to find another way to resolve this. He ends up using the old-fashioned method of pulling the rotten tooth using a string tied to a doorknob, with the doorknob itself located at Lumpy's house. When Lumpy opens the door, all Toothy has accomplished is the loss of Nutty's jaw except for the rotten tooth at first, until the closing iris shows that particular tooth finally popping out.

!!"Nuttin' but the Tooth" contains the following:
* CaptionHumor: One of the episodes with a [=BlurB!=] version.
* DIYDentistry: [[SweetTooth Nutty]] goes to a rather unexperienced inexperienced dentist named Tootht Toothy to get rid of his rotten tooth. Toothy tries the old-fashioned method of tying one end of a string to the tooth and the other to a doorknob.

out.
* EasterEgg: The [=BlurB!=] version's release comes with binary codes as part of its video description. Deciphering them shows the approximate release date for the then-upcoming episode "Royal Flush".
* HopeSpot: One would be forgiven for thinking that Toothy would just stop at the first drilling attempt when the drill ran out of battery...
* {{Jawbreaker}}: Toothy's last resort in pulling his patient's rotten tooth results in Nutty's bottom jaw being ripped off.
* LampshadeHanging:
** The [=BlurB!=] during the intro mentions how the starring characters actually wait for a long time before their cue to pop out from the bush.
** It also questions if Nutty's rotten tooth is really a wooden tooth due to its coloration.
* OffModel:
** Nutty's head marking does not reach his nose in the final shot of this episode.
** In the [=BlurB!=] version only, Toothy gains an extra right ear when he asks Nutty to open his mouth.
* PunBasedTitle: "Nothin' but the truth"
* TakeThat: The [=BlurB!=] version involves the old [[Music/JustinBieber Justin Beaver]] joke.
* TakeThatAudience: The last few captions in the [=BlurB!=] version mocks the target audience for being disappointed by the show's sudden lack of deaths in an episode and wanting more ''WebAnimation/DickFigures'' content instead.
* ThrowTheDogABone: Nutty, Toothy, and Lumpy survive.survive.
* TheToothHurts: Nutty suffers from this throughout the episode thanks to Toothy's treatment.
* UpdatedRerelease: The [=BlurB!=] version also doubles as this, as it also upscales the episode's resolution into HD.
