When your child gets excited about the tooth fairy, it can bring you back to a time when you believed too. It\u2019s also a great opportunity to help your child think about their oral health and the condition of their teeth. Here are three ways you can welcome the tooth fairy into your home and bring good dental hygiene along with her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#1: Make a Special Container for Your Child\u2019s Tooth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You want to give your child the magic of the tooth fairy, but you might not be the best cat burglar. Having your child put their tooth in a separate container by their bed is an excellent alternative. It\u2019s a little bit more manageable to take from than a pillow, and it gives you the opportunity to design something special with your child. Ask them what a fairy would like and then decorate a bowl with glitter, stickers, or whatever else they think would work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#2: Put It on a Calendar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your child is probably already used to having to brush their teeth each night, and the tooth fairy is a great excuse to reinforce that habit. One way to help is to have a calendar where your child records every time they brush or visit the dentist. If you\u2019d like to start now, you can mark the day the tooth fairy will come, which will get them in the habit of looking at the schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#3: Document the Occasion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The day the tooth fairy comes is a special occasion, and it should be remembered. <em>You<\/em> of course can keep your child\u2019s tooth, but you should also offer <em>them<\/em> something to remember the day. You could have the tooth fairy leave a receipt, with a note thanking them for taking such good care of their teeth. You can collect the receipts in a scrapbook or put them in your baby book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditions are great chances to bond. Whatever you do to welcome the tooth fairy, try to get your child involved. It\u2019ll make your message about taking care of their teeth a lot more effective. Not to mention, the memories will be that much more special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Our Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Hamilton Pediatric Dental Care, we know it can be hard to get your child to the dentist, so we take every step possible to make it simple.
