Parents of teens/tweens: what did you do with your kid's baby teeth?

I would pretend to look at them and send her to her father. I can't deal with teeth stuff. I think he threw them away.

Hopefully you have daughters. My mother in law gave me my husband's teeth. Disgusting. They were thrown out immediately. FYI they are not too tiny and sweet to throw out!

I had to laugh at this post - I was looking for some jewelry that I have not worn in awhile, and found a pile of baby teeth just the other day and I was thinking about what to do with them. part of me was wondering if I should save it if we ever needed a DNA match, but then I thought how do we tell which kids tooth it was!

The tooth fairy in our house put those things in the garbage immediately.

I saved them for a while but they dry out and crack in half, so I threw them out.

I still have all my kids' baby teeth. Oldest is in his 30s. (I also have a baby tooth from my cat.) I think they're cute.
