WIBU to keep teeth?

We’re having a sort out and have found a jar full of my DD’s baby teeth. I asked my DH to keep her first tooth when it fell out but didn’t realise he’d kept every one. As they’re all together I couldn’t tell which is the first, and a whole jar of them feels a bit dark and creepy.

What would you do?

I’ve got my children’s teeth too. My DH thinks it’s creepy 🫣😂 I will probably throw them away at some point.

Ugh gross I’d chuck the lot.

As you've got quite a few, you could do some lovely craft projects with them. We had some really original clear resin doorknobs made, showcasing the DC's teeth. They looked so unique and we got lots of compliments, but unfortunately we forgot to unscrew them when we moved house, so the new owners have them now.

I knew someone who kept all her childs nail clippings, fingers and toes.
I don't know what she did with them, we lost touch!

If you do keep them PLEASE label each bag of teeth with the child’s name.
I came across random baby teeth when sorting my late mother’s things. No clue which tooth belonged to which of 5 siblings so they could not be returned to their owner. Who wants their siblings teeth?!

Thanks for all your responses, I'm going to pick one of the smallest teeth to keep and throw the rest away.

ETA I only have one DC so no mix up problems
