DD finds losing a tooth really traumatic. Any experience or advice ?

That is, losing them from her mouth , not through a gap in the floorboards ! Seriously though it is becoming a real problem. It started with her vomiting when a tooth came out , she really hates the sight and taste of blood . But she is getting worse , have trouble getting her to eat anything much when the tooth is at the really wobbly stage, the sensation of the tooth moving when she eats or drinks just makes her cringe . She lost a tooth yesterday morning , after a dreadful evening of screaming and crying because the tooth got knocked and started to bleed. She eventually went to bed with the tooth just about hanging on in there held in only by fresh air at this point ! In the morning the tooth was in her mouth , and she eventually plucked up courage to spit it out. Relief all round. However , the school rang me at lunchtime and said could I pick her up as she was complaining of a bad tummyache , and was very upset. She hadnt been able to touch her lunch , and I know it was all down to this damn tooth ! What can I do to help her ? She is a sensitive little girl , and I really feel for her , she never usually makes a fuss about anything. Any advice etc would be gratefully received.

Does the Tooth Fairy visit or does anything special and enjoyable happen when a tooth falls out?

Yes the Tooth Fairy visits , I even bought her a special Tooth Fairy cushion with a little pocket for the tooth/money. She wont spend her Tooth Fairy money because she says its too special , as its fairy money !
