"Tooth Fairy: Is it a myth?"

Oh I do have the same beliefs in my younger years too. I guess our parents just want to assure us that a new tooth will grow back and our innocence as a child was used to better explain things to us.

@Shavkat I've never heard of that before. I mean teeth being thrown on the roof etc. Very cute! For me, it was place my tooth somewhere and in the morning, I will have some money from the tooth fairy.

I also tell my son that when his tooth falls out, then the Tooth Fairy will give him a present. I do so as my son is afraid to go to see the dentist as sometimes his tooth will not fall out naturally. I want to do something to encourage him that the teeth falling out is a natural thing. I love China

My mother never told me to throw on the roof, she just told me to calm down your teeth will grow after being thrown away.

I don't know which ones is true n here. Responders here have different knds of stories but then i really don't have idea whether to throw to the roof or to he ground if tooth will grow new ones.i have seen tooth fairy movie but then i didn't grow old having beliefs like these ones... i just wish broken or fallen tooth will be replaced with new ones...whether to believe in myths or sayings or not.

When I was a kid we are also particular in many many superstitious beleif like what you are talking. To add in your fallen tooth if the tooth came from upper part it will throw to the ground and from lower part should be in the roof. In a modern era those superstitous are like an air passing by to us..

It is different beliefs of different places. I really don't know if its a myth. In my place, my granny used to say that the rat took my tooth. I was never told about tooth fairy. I came to know about tooth fairy when i saw the movie 'Tooth Fairy'.

Haha, I used to listen to faerie tales and I believe they are just a myth tell tales started from the olden days... :)
