What do you do with all the teeth?

I do not know what my mother did with my teeth. Maybe she was a close friend of the tooth fairy. My husband was in charge of the tooth fairy tooth evacuation and I suppose he just threw them away or maybe he gave them to the tooth fairy. We were not that much on sentamentality or rather our sons did not demand proof that the tooth fairy had gotten their loose teeth.

I think that the general way in our house was that the first tooth was kept and the rest just thrown away.

Hmmm, I didn't save my teeth, we have some sort of a superstition here and we throw them over the house,and we say some words to call for better teeth or something. Sounds a bit yucky too ,to keep them... I don't think they look too good after a while. My mom kept some of my hair and it still looks yucky or at least spooky to me... when they cut my hair when I was little,they used to cut a lot of it,and I had it in a poney tail and the stylist would cut the entire tail,and we kept it like that.. I can now observe that I was brunette first,then blonder... now I die my hair blond so I don't care about the natural color anymore:P I saw on tv,the disaster that Katrina made,but when I hear about it from a person that has been there and suffered from it,it gives me a goose skin.. sorry for your lost

LMAO I have all of my boys teeth in envelopes that are going to go into scrape books I am creating for them.... Each Son has a manila envelope with their name on it, and their own teeth are in it, I am going through all of the pictures and boxes of things that only mothers save and making each of my kids scrap books personalized just for them. I am hoping that my Grand children will someday value the scrap books as well.

Well my plan was to save them for a scrap book like the other responder said...but a few too many moves later and I have very little of my older kids early years . This new tooth we have now is floating around in a little treasure chest. Even though the Tooth Fairy gave him a dollar for it she is kind enough to leave the teeth under the pillow when the child does not want to get rid of it. He's showing it off to everyone and perhaps eventually it will find it's way into a keepsake box that won't disappear during the next move and subsequent ones should there be any.

When I was a kid, I used to get 20c from the tooth fairy for each tooth. That was a lot. Then, one day, I found a whole stash of teeth in a little box in my mother's wardrobe. I put them ALL under my pillow, and went to sleep dreaming of what I would do with all the extra money! Unfortunately for me, the tooth fairy was on to my little scheme. In the morning the teeth were gone, and under my pillow was a toothbrush. I never saw those teeth again. I'll have to start thinking about what to do with my daughter's teeth very soon. I think I'll keep the first one only.
