What the tooth 🦷 emoji means
🦷 is the tooth: a single white molar with two roots. It means teeth and dentistry — dentist appointments, toothache, wisdom teeth, braces, a child’s first lost tooth and the tooth fairy — and it is the dental profession’s emoji of choice. Added in Emoji 11.0 (2018), it is white on every platform. Rows of 🦷🦷🦷 mean a big smile or a mouthful of teeth; a single 🦷 with 😩 means pain. It pairs with 🪥 toothbrush, 🧑⚕️ health worker for the dentist and 🧚 fairy for the tooth fairy.
