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.

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!

This guy I got out of a catalog in the '90's. He looks old but it was like Walter Drake or one of those. I love his smile!

Alex left a map for the Tooth Fairy so she would know where to find his teeth. It says, "Teeth are under the pillow T.F.* I need $15. Alex *Tooth Fairy"

Typical for marine reptile teeth fossils, most likely Plesiosauria sp., possibly ichthyosaurus or crocodylomorpha too.

Indentified by Daniel Madzia as Plesiosaurus (most probably).
The first tooth is the most precious! So don't wrap it up in a paper towel, jerk! Keep it in one of these equally precious boxes, for boys and girls!

My son's tooth. A cavity so bad, the dentist decided to just yank it. Son was quite the trooper.
the pic on the left is the tooth a few seconds out of the mouth. On the right it has been cleaned up a bit.
Lovely hole in the enamel.
Colette had three visits from the tooth fairy last year, her first one happening shortly after this tooth fell out though she insisted on keeping her tooth in a shot glass on her dresser drawer for a few days so she could marvel at its significance.
Her tooth got lost in the gravel at the bottom of the slide. So we had to leave the tooth fairy a note.

28 February - Tooth Fairy Day - The tooth fairy is a fantasy figure of early childhood. The folklore states that when a child loses a baby tooth, if he or she places it beneath the bed pillow, the tooth fairy will visit while the child sleeps, replacing the lost tooth with a small payment
Unlike Santa Claus, there are few details of the tooth fairy's appearance that are consistent in various versions of the myth. A 1984 study revealed that most, 74 percent of those surveyed, believed the tooth fairy to be female, while 12 percent believed the tooth fairy to be neither male nor female and 8 percent believed the tooth fairy could be either male or female. Regarding the tooth fairy's appearance - "You've got your basic Tinkerbell-type tooth fairy with the wings, wand, a little older and whatnot. Then you have some people who think of the tooth fairy as a man, or a bunny rabbit or a mouse." One review of published children's books and popular artwork found the tooth fairy to also be depicted as a child with wings, a pixie, a dragon, a blue mother-figure, a flying ballerina, two little old men, a dental hygenist, a potbellied flying man smoking a cigar, a bat, a bear and others. Unlike the well-established imagining of Santa Claus, differences in renderings of the tooth fairy are not as upsetting to children.
Many moons ago I bought this hat in Australia. Not long after I lost one of the teeth on a dodgy fairground ride. The tooth has been missing for the best part of twenty years. Until today. I finally got round to making a new one. Carved from jelutong wood, it's easily my smallest wood carving to date. I'm a big fan of hand carving wood but this was too small to safely use open blades. I used a Dremel instead.
