Where do the teeth go?

Does anyone know what the tooth fairy does with them?

It’s common knowledge that the tooth fairy scatters them in the sea and they become pearls.

She builds her castle out of them.

Gibbonsgibbonsgibbons · 15/09/2020 00:38

Uses them to make fairy dust...

Newjez · 15/09/2020 00:43

Castle.

Newjez · 15/09/2020 00:46

God that takes me back to that horrible day when I was sick with chemo, and the tooth fairy forgot to come. I nearly died with shame. But it turned out alright, as, with a bit of sleight of hand, it looked like dear child must have knocked it on the floor during the night.

Gives them to the new born babies, so they need to be in good condition!

HarrietSchulenberg · 15/09/2020 00:46

She grinds them into a powder and adds fairy dust to sprinkle over sad children to make them happy again.

Either that or she's building a giant made of teeth.

Depended which of my children was asking.

The tooth fairy learned her lesson in years gone by when her lovingly hidden stash of teeny teeth from the mouth of the precious child ended up like some macabre odd coloured collection of nasty. Tooth fairy was not so fucking ridiculous sentimental after that.

TheFormerPorpentinaScamander · 15/09/2020 00:49

Builds a castle. At least she did in the book we had as children.

Queenest · 15/09/2020 06:05

Thanks everyone - quite a lot of good uses for teeth by the sound of it.

Newjez hope the treatment is behind you now. Flowers The tooth fairy at ours forgot once with no good excuse, I know that shame. Never again. Blush

Quarterpast - Erm maybe I should check my hidden stash of wrapped tissue parcels.

I was told she sews the best ones on to the fairy queens cloak.

Thinking about that now, I don’t like it.

Fairies use them to build their houses.

They don't use rotten teeth, so make sure you brush properly!

Toontown · 15/09/2020 06:31

Forgets to pick them up until a small child's disappointment reminds them.

Xiaoxiong · 15/09/2020 06:33

Eats them.

Now I feel pretty weird Blush

AlwaysLatte · 15/09/2020 06:34

This is why the Tooth Fairy never smiles. She has millions of teeth and it's not a pretty look

Pinkshrimp · 15/09/2020 06:50

In my little mind they used them as stools. I pictured them sitting around a table on their little teeth stools having cake and a drink.
Seems grim now.

anuffername · 15/09/2020 08:31

They make Fugglers with them.

Where do the teeth go?
Thinkpinkstink · 15/09/2020 08:33

She carves them into tiny toys for the fairy children. Which is disgusting in hindsight.

nettytree · 15/09/2020 08:46

We moved last year and the tooth fairy hasn't got our new address yet.

Oldraver · 15/09/2020 08:54

She puts them ' somewhere safe' like her underwear drawer to be forgotten about

Until she's having a proper clear out and wonders what's in that bit of tissue and rediscovers them

Our toothfairy didn't arrive one night.

I told my son it was because it was too dangerous for her to get to him as his room was so untidy 🤦🏼‍♀️

I felt awful but he tided his room and I remembered the next night!

We have also had to use the excuse that they must have knocked their pennies onto the floor (as we drop the coins helping them look) and she didn't have enough room in her bag to take the tooth so will come back for it another day as she had been very busy that night 🤦🏼‍♀️

We've only forgotten a couple of times which I don't think is bad for having 6 kids lol 😂

GlamGiraffe · 16/09/2020 00:49

I am so glad I was never asked this question.
The disturbing images it conjuries up😂.
Clearly my children were just interested in the cold hard cash!🤑🤑🤑
