Message From the Tooth Fairy
It is believed by millions of young and old alike that when children lose one of their baby teeth, they should place it underneath their pillow or on their bedside table and the Tooth Fairy will visit while they sleep, replacing the lost tooth with a small payment or gift.
Message from the Tooth Fairy:
“I’m not too shy to admit I’m more popular than ever these days. Throughout the majority of homes across America, my visit is welcomed with great joy.
When I pay a nighttime visit to a home, I’m doing so much more than just picking up a lost tooth. I’m honored to be part of a family tradition — a rite of passage that marks a child’s transition from childhood to adolescence.
To me, each baby tooth represents something special. The fact that most family photo albums feature a cherished photo of a child with his or her two front teeth missing suggests that parents feel the same way. For both young and young at heart, my legend stimulates the imagination and reminds people that it’s okay to believe in magic.
Kids need to be brushing and taking care of their teeth. I tend to pay more for healthy teeth so let’s keep brushing those teeth for two minutes two times a day. I use only the cleanest, healthiest teeth to build my pearly white palace.”
National Tooth Fairy Day is celebrated twice a year, once in February and then again in August, just six months apart. It is interesting to note that similarly it is recommended to have dental cleanings twice a year, also 6 months apart.
