Many families provide little ones with cash from the Tooth Fairy when they start losing teeth. However, you can do it differently and make your recommended children’s dentist proud by continuing to honor each momentous loss. Here are four unique gift ideas for when your kids lose a tooth.

4 Ways to Celebrate Your Child Losing a Tooth

1. Experiences

Leave your child tickets to a fun play or an exciting activity instead of money. They’ll enjoy watching a 3D movie, going to the zoo, or seeing a fireworks show because of a lost tooth. Bring the whole family so that everyone can be a part of the milestone.

2. Tooth Pillow

When your kid loses their first tooth, gift them a small pillow to place their future lost teeth in. You can create one out of felt that looks like a cartoon tooth with a pouch in the top. Encourage your little one to stash their teeth in the pillow when they lose them so that the Tooth Fairy can easily find them.

3. Treats

Ask your children’s dentist what kinds of sweet and snacks are acceptable for a mouth that just lost a tooth. You can set up a special breakfast of banana pancakes and their favorite fruit smoothie, then serve it to them in bed.

4. Dental Tools

If your tot loses a tooth, celebrate with an on-theme, teeth-related gift, like a new toothbrush. Talk with your recommended children’s dentist to learn which toothpaste and other dental tools they recommend so that you can give the child the best products for their needs.
