Is one of your child\u2019s teeth starting to wiggle? Maybe they\u2019ve already lost their first tooth and are excitedly anticipating the arrival of the tooth fairy. Either way, you can make this big milestone even more fun by sharing tooth fairy stories from around the world. Read on to learn a few!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Tooth Mouse<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

French-speaking countries don\u2019t have a tooth fairy, they have a tooth mouse! Lovingly referred to as \u201cLa Petite Souris\u201d (or \u201cRat\u00f3ncito P\u00e9rez\u201d in Spain), the story goes that this mythological mouse sneaks into their room at night to retrieve the lost tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Up to the Stars<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In countries like Egypt, Libya, and Oman, children are told to throw their lost teeth toward the sun. The hope is that this bright star will send them a stronger tooth in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Raise the Roof<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In China, the tooth fairy story is designed to make the new teeth come in quickly. To accomplish this, the lower baby teeth are tossed onto the roof and the upper baby teeth are buried in the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hammaspeikko, The Tooth Troll<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Finnish children are told about Hammaspeikko, the tooth troll that will drill holes in their teeth if they eat too much candy. While this take on the tooth fairy is a bit scarier, it serves an important purpose: helping children fight cavities by implementing good oral hygiene at a young age!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Power of a Tooth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For Turkish parents, keeping their child\u2019s tooth in a Ziplock bag or keepsake box simply won\u2019t do. Instead, they bury it somewhere significant. For example, if they hope their child grows up to be a doctor, they could place it near a hospital!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initially, the thought of losing teeth can be overwhelming for your little one. The good news is that the tooth fairy helps take some of that fear away and makes the entire experience a bit more magical. By sharing all of the stories from around the world, your child will really see that they aren\u2019t alone \u2013 this is an important milestone for kids everywhere!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
