What does the tooth fairy do with all the teeth?

[Anonymous]

She uses her magic wand to turn them into money, obviously. How else could she afford her work?

Could you imagine going off to college or getting married and having your mother present you with a Ziploc bag of old baby teeth? "Here you go, darling, enjoy the nostalgia!"

My Mom got her teeth in her 60's when her mom died.

Dips them in gold and makes a charm bracelet.

And it cracks me up that you are teaching about the Big Bang theory but also trying to keep up the tooth fairy facade.

Oh look, it's someone who told their kid the tooth fairy makes castles from teeth!! How quaint of you.

No, we don't do tooth fairy or santa in our house. My kid knows better.

On the one hand it's kind of gross to think of babies getting used teeth. On the other hand, maybe it can serve as incentive for good teeth brushing habits, "C'mon Caitlin, do a good job brushing those teeth; we want to keep them nice and shiny for a little baby someday!"

I said they build retirement facilities for the elderly tooth fairies that retired.

I also told my kids that summer at MIT was full of elves learning how to make Xboxes.

You probably don't want my parenting advice.

How old is your kid? Guardians of the Galaxy has a great Tooth Fairy story.

She uses sand paper and rubs them until they are round circles. When she gets enough, she pokes a hole in the middle of each one and makes necklaces. Then she sells them to jewelry stores. All those pearl necklaces that ladies wear are actually made of baby teeth.

New babies get them.
