I believe, you have to take turns pushing down individual teeth. By random chance, it will close the mouth when you do that. So, you lose when you get bitten.

In the original, you pulled them out, but parents probably got sick of losing the teeth.

Edit: This concept is demonstrated in this historical document https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-aEpGsH0a8
