Tooth Icon, ©2007, 2 x 3-1/4 x 7/8 inches, brass, copper, sterling silver, coral, tooth, gold filled wire and beads, fabricated. My son gave me two of his wisdom teeth. I promised to make him something with one of them, and I get to keep the other one. Description of making the icon, including how to fuse sterling silver for an interesting texture, here.
The tooth fairy hasn't been. The midazolam fairy was good at her job though!
- both bottom wisdom teeth were removed because they were both impacted and I was getting repeated peri-coronitis. Post-removal pain lasted about two weeks, and I developed dry socket which was incredibly painful for four days. Four months on, however, I am completely healed and have no pain issues, or gum tenderness.
A visit from the tooth fairy is a magical milestone. This collectible Barbie doll commemorates the sweet moment with a fantastical look and accessories. Barbie Tooth Fairy doll wears a pretty, periwinkle dress featuring fluttery ruffles, sparkling polka dots and a beaded belt. Her look is complete with shimmery fairy wings, a silvery wand and a gemstone-encrusted tiara in her whimsical white hair. With a shimmering bag of silvery coins and packaging featuring space to write a personalized message, Barbie Tooth Fairy doll makes the perfect gift to celebrate such a special day.
Gaston is more or less the same as all other Tooth Bears (with the front pocket to hold fallen gnashers), except for his exceptional moustache and one or two
stereotypical trappings of his homeland.

But where may wisdom be seen? and where is the resting-place of knowledge? (Job 28:12)
"Where Shall Wisdom Be Found?" - didnt read the book by H.Bloom. Just out of precautionary principle I've closed the hole with chewing gum - for wisdom to remain inside the tooth (if there was any)...

Helicoprion ferrieri (Hay, 1907) - fossil shark tooth whorl from the Permian of Idaho, USA. (IMNH 37899, Idaho Museum of Natural History, Idaho State University, Pocatello, Idaho, USA)
This remarkable fossil is a symphyseal tooth whorl from the lower jaw of an edestoid shark. It is in phosphatic limestone of the Permian-aged Phosphoria Formation in Idaho. Sharks have a cartilaginous skeleton and mineralized, phosphatic teeth (as are all vertebrate teeth). Helicoprion is undoubtedly the strangest shark in geologic history (see reconstructions elsewhere in this photo album and at the links given below).
Helicoprion tooth whorls are almost always in large concretions, which are subspherical to rounded discoidal masses of relatively hard, fine-grained material (e.g., siderite, calcite, iron oxides). In the Idaho example shown above, the concretion is phosphate-rich carbonate rock. Permian phosphorite successions in southeastern Idaho are fossiliferous and include Helicoprion tooth spirals. The high-grade phosphorite rocks have economic significance and are mined. At the Monsanto phosphorite mine in Idaho, the waste rock piles are huge and rich in fossils. The general stratigraphy at the Monsanto mine is:
Bed of low-grade phosporus ore
Shale with concretions (waste rock)
Center waste shale (waste rock)
Chert layer (waste rock)
Bed of high-grade phosphorus ore
Some paleontologists have interpreted the tooth whorl of Helicoprion sharks as part of a externally coiled lower jaw that may have been whipped outward and back to capture fish prey. Although intriguing, this type of reconstruction is incorrect. Instead, the tooth whorl was internal (inside the lower jaw tissues), and occupied the entire length of the lower jaw. The latter interpretation is based on the specimen shown above - it has soft-part preservation exposed at the surface, and CT scanning revealed more soft-part structures inside the rock specimen (see links below).
The spiral has been interpreted as a single tooth with numerous cusps. The oldest cusps are the smallest and occur at the center of the whorl. New, larger cusps were generated near the articulation joint between the shark's lower jaw (mandible) and the rest of the head. Helicoprion was an experiment in tooth retention - this shark could not eject teeth, unlike modern sharks.
Helicoprion sharks had modern-style scales on the body surface. Such scales result in no ripples and no sound while swimming - useful features in a marine predator. The classic interpretation of this shark having an external, open whorl as its lower jaw defeats the no-ripples-no-sound advantage of modern-style shark scales. An open, external tooth whorl is not hydrodynamic.

Although you can't really see it, her first tooth is in the zip-lock bag. I tried first with the pliers, but it was finally a piece of paper towel that gave me the traction I needed to pull it.
Made for my son's first loose tooth thanks to the great tutorial at mmmcrafts.blogspot.com/2009/02/tooth-pillow-revisited.html
Broken shark tooth pendant.
I bought it when I went to Playa del Carmen spring 2006.
Plan to mend it and send it to a friend.
Madeline lost her second tooth on Thanksgiving day. It was a little more painful than the first, she said, but only for an hour. She seems to be a pro wiggler. But the American tooth mouse had a harder time than the French La Petite Souris. The fairy waited until after she had watched a movie with Madeline's family and then went upstairs to try to retrieve the tooth.
The problem with that is that Madeline had already gone through her deep sleep cycle and was easily roused. In addition, Madeline had tucked far into her little pillow her tooth along with a note that she and her mama had written about her deserving some extra money because she eats such good foods, always brushes, and had even tried stuffing with MUSHROOMS in it during Thanksgiving dinner. The pillow case on this little decorative pillow didn't leave a lot of hand room, and it was place just so under her head that it was hard to get a hand in there. Madeline was turning and moving about so the tooth fairy knew she didn't have much time, so she thought she had to quickly give it a whirl. The tooth fairy reached in...gently...gently....gently...the note in her grasp, but where on earth was that tooth? Madeline opened her eyes and looked at her.
"Hi darling, Just came to give you a kiss."
"Hi Mama."
"Why don't you move this pillow aside a bit to be more comfortable?" The tooth fairy suggested starting to pull the pillow out from under her head.
"No, because then the tooth fairy will think my tooth is in THIS pillow and won't be able to find it."
"Oh, I see, well good night." (Drats).
The tooth fairy went back to her room and proceeded to get ready for bed. She discussed the options with the tooth fairy husband and decided that they had no choice. She had to go back in.
With all the lights off in the house -- aside from the 4 night lights in the kids room that keep it quite aglow, she thought she'd have more chance. She crept in again, this time coming from behind, and leaned over the top of the headboard. The good news in the failed first attempt was that she had been able to find the tooth and fold the note in half over it so she could steal it more easily.
She went in. Money in hand. Again, sliding her hand under her daughter's head, slowly....slowly....slowly, she got it, she slid it, Madeline turned and looked up, as she ducked down behind the headboard.
"Mama?"
"Hi."
The tooth fairy exposed herself, hoping that the sleepiness of her daughter would cause her not to question too deeply just why she kept coming into her room. The tooth fairy gave her a big hug, while sliding the money into the pillow, she had, the tooth in hand.
"Goodnight, sweetie."
"Mama? Do you think the tooth fairy will come soon?"
"Very soon. But you have to be asleep."
"Okay," she said, and rolled over, closed her eyes, and clutched her pillow tightly under her head.
In the morning, she bounded in and exclaimed that the tooth fairy had been generous indeed, and had brought her three (!!) dollar bills. Then she said,
"Mama? What were you doing in my room last night?"
"Oh, I often come into your room and give you a kiss before I go to bed, you just don't always wake up. You know I do that."
"Yeah," she said, and smiled, and bounded down the stairs for breakfast.
Whew, thought the tooth fairy. Now, I know why they invented those little tooth boxes.
The little man has lost his first baby tooth (well, the first one that came loose on its own - the other one was removed by the dentist, but that's another story). This was a tooth whose time had come, as it is so very twee...while the rest of him has grown quite large. But I didn't know what to do with it...so I carefully placed it in this little container. We skipped the whole tooth fairy thing, but he seems okay with that. So far. I have a feeling it's a topic we'll revisit.
How to Tell If You Have a Cavity How to tell if you have a cavity is quite important for everyone to know. Cavity or also known as tooth decay is really painful and annoying so that you have to notice really early to get rid of the oral condition. This tooth decay problem can be defined as the

This dentist's tool is an early type of tooth extractor known as a 'dental key', dating from the early 19th century, which has an ebony cross-bar handle and cranked steel shaft. Ouch. In earlier times, barbers commonly carried out surgical bleeding and tooth extractions in addition to shaving and cutting hair!
