One day it’s loose. The next day it’s gone. And just like that, another little piece of childhood slips quietly into the past.
A wiggly tooth doesn’t stay around for long, but it carries big meaning. It’s a sign of growth, of bravery, of time moving forward faster than we expect. Whether you're a parent, grandparent, or favorite auntie, this tiny milestone is a golden opportunity to create something lasting—a memory that can be held, hugged, and cherished.
Here are a few sweet ways to turn a lost tooth into something truly unforgettable.
1. Make It a Moment, Not a Blur
It’s easy to let the Tooth Fairy moment happen quickly and quietly. But when a child loses their first tooth (or any tooth!), let it pause the day. Take a picture. Share a story about your own childhood teeth. Let them tell you how it happened. The more attention you give it, the more meaningful it becomes.
2. Start a Sweet Tradition
Traditions don’t need to be grand—they just need to be theirs. Maybe the tooth goes in the same special pillow every time. Maybe a fairy note is always left behind. Maybe Grandma gets a call each time a new gap appears. These are the rituals that become part of the story they tell later.
3. Turn It Into a Tangible Keepsake
This is where The Tooth Brigade comes in. Our Tooth Fairy Bundle is designed to help turn a fleeting moment into a lasting memory. A soft, character pillow with a deep pocket for lost teeth. A matching storybook that makes the visit magical. Together, they create a comforting ritual kids look forward to—and adults will always remember.
4. Write It Down
Keep a little notebook or digital note or use the Tooth Tracker with the date, the story, even a quote from your child: “I pushed it with my tongue ALL DAY.” These tiny details become treasures later on.
5. Give It to Someone Who Cares
If you're a grandparent or aunt, consider gifting the Tooth Fairy Bundle when that first wiggle appears. It turns you into part of the memory, not just a bystander. You’re giving more than a gift—you’re giving a moment.
Baby teeth don’t last. But the magic around them can.
