A beautiful way to preserve your child's lost teeth
Filed under: Development/Milestones: Babies, Media
The excitement of losing baby teeth is definitely one of the highlights of childhood. There is a certain kind of magic to falling asleep and awaking to find money under the pillow. But keeping track of all those many lost teeth can be hard for a parent, especially if you have more than one child. The Toothfairy's Baby Tooth Bank helps to store each tooth in a safe container to prevent loss. The center of the bank features a large tooth shaped bank to store money. There is even a chart to record the dates of each lost tooth. For $21.95 this seems like a cute keepsake for a child.
In my house the tooth fairy exchanges the teeth for money, so leaving the teeth for display might take some explaining; I always thought this was the Tooth fairy's policy. What does the tooth fairy do at your house?

Michelle said...My daughter (5 1/2) lost her first tooth about a month ago. She was so excited to put it under her pillow, and the tooth fairy left a gold dollar coin. But the next morning she came into our room crying. She was sad that her tooth was gone! Money meant nothing to her, she wanted the tooth. Luckily, she lost the next tooth about a week later. We helped her write a note to the tooth fairy, asking if she could keep her teeth. So the fairy brough the first tooth back and let her keep the second one, along with the money. She keeps them in a special box in her room.

Kimberly said...ewww. I know some people who do this, but it just grosses me right out. Around here the toothfairy leaves a toonie, and discretely disposes of the biomatter in the trash.
(According to Sabrina, the Tooth Fairy uses the teeth she collects to give to babies who are growing their teeth. She probably concocted this story because she lost her first tooth at about the same time her sister cut her first tooth.)

ann adams said...The tooth fairy tries to remember to both leave the money and cause the tooth to vanish. Sometimes she forgets to do both which leaves grandma inventing excuses. "The tooth fairy probably ran out of money; she'll probably come back tonight" is pretty lame.
I am so glad that, except for their last baby molars, they are done with it.

Susan said...So you're saying I should NOT do what my mom did and just stash the baby teeth in my jewelry box?
Well okay then.

Michelle said...If you use a TOOTH FAIRY BANK (www.Tfairy.com) it can help you motivate your child to brush (visit the features & benefits section of this website for details) plus it assures that precious baby teeth will not get lost, misplaced, or confused (with another child's baby teeth) in toothfairy land. That is why tooth fairy's entrust a tooth bank to a child for the safe-keeping of their own baby teeth.
A ToothFairy Bank is perfect for a sentimental parent and will assures treasured childhood memories are saved and can be recalled forever.
