Add a little tooth. 1 have my tooth covering rnds 19 & 20 on the body, below and between the eyes. You can make the tooth just by using a simple in and out stitch (embroider it, it doesn't need to be any thing fancy). After which add a little black line for the mouth, have the line go directly over the top of the tooth, my line was 4sc long. Refer to picture:
