What do you do with the teeth..... .....

heh ive kept them all.. from both the girls lol they wrap their tooth in a pretty little tissue package tied with a ribbon for the tooth fairy. when i make the switch oftooth for coin & card.. i take the tiny package, write the date on it of when it was lost.. and place it in a small carved wooden box. with the sprites i have a box anyways.. with the elder i didnt, so they are all wrapped and dated in a small bag. i may someday give them to em when theyre grown.. (altho the elder is now 19 and i still have hers tucked away LOL) or i might just keep hold of them for myself as a keepsake.

I'll bet that was a bit of a surprise when you when in your handbag!! hehe i discovered the tooth fairy wasn't real one day when i was noseying through my mum's jewelery box and discovered my teeth in there!! I thought it was a bit creepy at the time, why not just throw them away, but i suppose they have sentimental value! I don't really know what you could do with your son's teeth though! xxx

My son has only lost two teeth and I have it in a plastic bag in the top drawer of my dresser. I am not sure what I'm going to do with them either - maybe scrapbook them? or ?!?!

I don't have children but believe it or not, I have a little drawer in my jewelry box that has baby teeth in it...nope not mine...my little dog Petey's (he passed away 2 years ago)...I just couldn't bare to toss them out. [b]**AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~[/b]

I threw them away as they lost them. I took the tooth from under their pillow and left them some money and I put it in a kleneex and threw it in the garbage. I never even thought to keep them. Have they not rotted away? I guess you could make a necklace with them, I don't know. Maybe not because if you put a hole in them then they make crumble. I will be interested in reading the rest of your responses to this because now I am curious to hear what others have done with them.

You know I have my daughter's teeth in my drawer at the moment. I've been meaning to put it in a safe place with the date it fell out, but as usual, I'll forget and when I find them again, I won't remember whose tooth or when it came out. For my elder daughter I think I only kept a few, but it was really difficult then to keep them anywhere she wouldn't find them. She still believes in fairies, bless, and I wouldn't want to shatter that!

Well I certainly haven't got my Kids any more we moved so many times while in the Army in the end they got lost somewhere

I kept them!! I have them stashed away for safe keeping and of course there really isnt anything I can "do" with them but like you said they are my babies teeth, I can't bring myself to toss them out..

[i]Hi gemini, I remember Mom used to keep it but when I was in High School and find it, I told her that we will throw it..LOL! And she also agreed! LOL! I am the one in the house who loves to throw stuff and my Parents as well as sister are the type who loves to keep for memories! LOL![/i]

Hello dear gemini_rose.I still remember when I was a kid and each time when my tooth was pulled out painfully by myself, my mother would always teach me to go to the balcony to stand straight and throw the pulled tooth onto the roof of the house. This way I would have beautiful teeth later on when the new ones grow out. This is a myth to me.

Hi Gemini, I have a little trinket box for each of mine which has thier first hair curl in it and the teeth the tooth fairy forgot to take. Happy memories for years to come I guess. I also have a folder for each that has all their special cards and pics in from birth to 21st, these are in the loft but it is interesting to get out and have a look through and I am sure they will enjoy looking back when they al much older too. Huggles. Ellie :D

We used to keep it under our pillow for the tooth fairy but after some time my mom would forget to give us money. Haha. So the tooth fairy isn't a big superstar in our household. We just give our tooth to my mom who used to keep all of it in her closet. I haven't seen the collection for a long time now so I don't know if she threw them or not. I don't think it's that significant to keep an old tooth anyway.

There is no point in keeping it. I threw my daughter's teeth into a river.

I don't have children, but my dad kept all mine. He saved them all in a little drawer. I doubt we still have them since we've moved. I believe it was when I found them in the drawer that he confessed the non-existance of the Tooth Fairy. It would be cool to keep. I could prolly make a necklace out of them or something. I mean, how often do you find human teeth (besides in someone's mouth)? They're rare.

I used to save my daughters teeth after the tooth fairy came. I put them in an envelope and saved them in her baby book. She can look back at them when she grows up and show her children also.

My daughter hasn't lost any of hers yet. Her Baby book has a vial that you can keep one. I would let her do that. THen probably toss the rest in the trash. Mu hubby thinks it would be interesting to keep all of them.

I will just throw it in the trash. I let my son look at it. Then it goes in the trash can.

They will eventually disintegrate. My mother saved mine and that's what happened to them. Without a blood supply to a tooth they become brittle and crumble. Sorry

Gosh, that's a good question. I must have thrown them all away. Now I'm wondering why I didn't save any, at least the first one they lost.
