Ms. Flossie: A cowgirl of sorts who is constantly having a good time. Despite her name, she looks blob-esque, with no relation to floss. Voiced by Michael Earl.
Waxie: Flossie's Horse who is quite amusing, especially when she tries to eat the daisies.
Johnny Paste: A large, muscular, toothpaste container. Another one of Timmy's friends, he is well-meaning, but not all that bright. Voiced by Allan Trautman.
Mr. Wisdom: An old tooth who lives up in the mountains. He gives advice to the Flossmore gang when they need it. Voiced by Phil Baron.

Sunny the Sun: A hot and smiling sun. Voiced by Allan Trautman.
Leggs O Many: A cool piano-playing octopus. Voiced by Todd Mattox.
The Cavity Goon: The main antagonist and the villain, the Cavity Goon (Otherwise known as Goonius Nemesis III) is a disgusting sight---A green creature covered with warts (plaque, perhaps?) and a mouth full of decayed sharp teeth. He wears clothes that appear to be made of ripped-up leaves and is constantly bothering Timmy and his friends. In the episode "Lost My Brush", he even tried to kidnap Timmy (plus Brushbrush to lure him) in an attempt to turn him over to the Tooth Fairy for money. Voiced by James Murray.
Ms. Sweety: The Cavity Goon's only sidekick. She is an enormous mint candy, who always joins her boss on his evil plots. Voiced by Bruce Lanoil.
The Gingivitis Gang: The series' other antagonists are the nasty Gingivitis Gang. Not necessarily evil like the Cavity Goon, but more mean and plain bad, they spend most of their time looking for trouble and picking on Timmy and his friends. Despite antagonizing Timmy and his friends, they would never side with the Cavity Goon and sometimes have to side with Timmy (i.e. Molar Island). Voiced by Phil Baron (as The Red-Horned Lavender Haired Blue-Skinned Leader of the Gang), Bruce Lanoil (as The Red Haired Tan-Skinned Beaked Female of the Gang), Phil Baron (as The Yellow Haired Red-Skinned Male of the Gang), Dina Fraboni (as The Blonde Haired Orange-Skinned Bug-like Female of the Gang), and Kevin Carlson (as The Blue Haired Green-Skinned Troll-like Male of the Gang).
Nicki & Irene: The two flowers in Timmy's front yard. They both love the rain and love to be watered.
Emmett: Timmy's mailbox.
