This beloved tradition is a great way to keep children excited about growing up and help them understand <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chicagopedoortho.com\/contact.html\">the importance of proper oral care<\/a>. If your child has recently lost a baby tooth, here are a few ways to help them welcome this benevolent pixie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Have the Tooth Fairy Leave a Receipt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Leaving a little document can be a humorous way to provide your child with a way to remember the event while giving them a bit of a soft introduction to the world of monetary transactions. You might want to type one up or print out a receipt you can fill out yourself. It can include important information like your child\u2019s name, the date, a description of the tooth taken, and a description of the reward. You can even include a brief note such as: \u201cThis tooth is in beautiful condition. Keep up the good work with your oral hygiene!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Have Your Child Make a Tooth Fairy Dish<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A Tooth Fairy dish can be a fun alternative to having your child put their tooth under their pillow. You can find a suitable dish at a local store or have your child make one. Clay, inexpensive decorations, and the like can be bought at a hobby store. Ask your child to make one that they think the Tooth Fairy would like. This can be a fun family activity and a great way to let your kid practice their creative expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Have Your Child Document the Occasion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You may want to take your child to an office supply store so they can pick out a notebook so they can record their visits from the Tooth Fairy. You and your child can have fun by personalizing it with decorations and drawings. Make sure your child writes a nice note to leave for the Tooth Fairy before she comes. Have the Tooth Fairy fill out the next page by noting the date and leaving a little note about your child\u2019s dental health efforts. \u201cThis is a lovely tooth! You\u2019re well on your way to having a beautiful set of thirty-two grown-up teeth!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Tooth Fairy\u2019s visits are fun traditions that have brought joy to growing up for generations. By rewarding your child\u2019s dental hygiene, you can help set them up for a lifetime of excellent oral health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Chicago Pediatric Dentistry &amp; Orthodontics provides quality, friendly dental care for families in Chicago, IL.
