I would import them as a single bitmap, keep them a bitmap and publish

with PNG compression if you need them to look real, if you just need

cartoonish teeth, hand tracing each then deleting the bitmap from the

symbol is the most optimal way, creating a low bit image and tracing

that is another way.

Trace the shape of the tooth (or select a traced tooth and copy), fill

in the tracing, make it a button symbol, move the keyframe in the

button from the 'up' frame to the hit frame. This wil give you an

invisible button covering your tooth.
