"Having a loose tooth, the loss of that first tooth and all the baby teeth that follow are kind of milestones in the life of a young, growing child. Besides the feeling of becoming a grown up boy or girl, what makes it an exciting event for a kid is the folklore of the Tooth Fairy.
While the Tooth Fairy means the exchange of lost teeth with small presents for kids, parents can use the mysterious tradition to reinforce good habits, behaviour and remind the child to take care of oral hygiene."
