What does the Tooth Fairy want children's teeth FOR?

I can only think of nightmarish answers.

Does she eat them?

Does she build a castle out of them?

Is it because if a witch gets a part of your body the witch can curse you, and the tooth fairy's job is to keep you safe from that?

According to my dn the tooth fairy works for Santa and the teeth are taken so he can perform dna analysis on them to decide if they’ve been good or bed.

My DM always said they were for her garden. I tell my kids too. They believe it as do I. I love teeth and those dolls too!

DD6 told me that when her tooth was collected from under her pillow the tooth fairy put it in a baby’s gums. It makes perfect sense to her. She was 10 months before she got her first tooth so presumably there was a dry patch of kids losing their milk teeth.

Piano keys 🤷🏼‍♀️ In hindsight and readying all of your suggestions fairy dust or castles would have been better

I was told as a child she uses them to make fairy plates, bowls and cutlery, that's also what I told my children.

She gives them to babies that don't have any teeth. Confused Blush

This seemed to work in our house because DH has a baby nephew who miraculously started teething when our eldest lost his first teeth.

Tooth fairy is also friends with the dummy fairy and Santa. She also for some strange reason also recently took our 3YOs night time nappies. I have no idea why my kids buy this shit, but while it still works I'm running with it!!

Our tooth fairy wrote a letter a while back asking mum to hold onto the teeth as they contain stem cells which could save your child’s life one day. So now I have a creepy storage of baby teeth.

She grinds them into magic fairy dust and sprinkles them over Santa's sleigh to help make it fly and any fairy dust left over helps Christmas tree's grow, fairy lights, sparkling baubles etc

I always thought she only wanted the white ones because she made them into pearl necklaces.

A fairy who found a child's tooth big enough to use as a stool would not be able to carry a pound coin comfortably.

They use their fairy dust to put the coin under the pillow. Although it was actually pound notes under my pillow so they didn’t have to worry about the weight Grin
