Whether it\u2019s your child\u2019s very first lost tooth or one of many to come, creating a fun experience can make the moment even more memorable. Here are some creative ideas that are certain to make the night the Tooth Fairy visits an exciting event!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Create a Tooth Fairy Pillow or Box<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Make (or buy) a small pillow with a pocket or a decorated box where your child can safely place their tooth. These keep the tiny tooth secure\u2014and make it easier for the Tooth Fairy to find it during the night. Of course, you can also reuse this for each additional tooth your child loses in the future!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Create a Certificate of Tooth Loss<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mark the occasion with a fun certificate celebrating your child\u2019s lost tooth. Include the date, the name of your child, and which tooth (or teeth) they lost. You can even print out templates online to use, or simply create your own\u2014or let your child come up with it themselves!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Start a Tooth Fairy Journal or Scrapbook<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Use a small notebook where the Tooth Fairy \u201cwrites\u201d notes after each visit. Your child can look back on their tooth-loss journey, and you\u2019ll have a sweet keepsake for the future! Similarly, you can also opt to put together a scrapbook that catalogs your child\u2019s smile as they lose (and gain) teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Read a Tooth Fairy Story Together<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To get kids in the spirit and introduce them to the Tooth Fairy, you can read your child one of the many books out there that include this iconic character. You can even make it a tradition where every time she\u2019s about to visit your home, you and your child read one of these stories together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every family celebrates the tooth fairy a little differently, and there\u2019s no right or wrong way to do it. The most important thing is to make your child feel special and proud of this exciting dental milestone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our team here at Pediatric Dentistry &amp; Orthodontics has served those in New Britain and the surrounding area for several years.
