It can be both an exciting and scary time for little ones when their teeth begin to wiggle. What do you do when your child has a loose tooth? We suggest educate and celebrate!
1. When your child gets their first loose tooth, it’s a good time to remind them of the importance of Dental Hygiene. Remind them that they are now getting their permanent teeth or forever teeth. Encourage them to brush for 2 minutes in the morning and before bed – and don’t forget to floss between the teeth!
2. Is it okay for your little one to wiggle and constantly play with a loose tooth? The answer is… YES! Let them wiggle away!
3. Celebrate! Find fun ways to celebrate this milestone in their life. There are lots of great tips to encourage a visit from the Tooth Fairy. Here are a few that we found that are fun…
Fun ideas for the Tooth Fairy!
1. Create “special” Tooth Fairy Currency. Paint quarters a shiny gold or cover with gold glitter.
2. Of course, a dollar from the tooth fairy has to have some sparkle. Use glitter hairspray to add some sparkle to George.
3. A Tooth Fairy Pillow hung on a bedroom door helps those Tooth Fairies that are afraid of waking the lil’ ones at night.
4. Make a Tooth Fairy Jar and set it by a window. Have your child put the Tooth in plain water. Color the water with food coloring and add some glitter, once the Tooth Fairy has visited and retrieved the tooth.
