Do you keep your child's baby teeth?

Do you keep your kids baby teeth? My son has lost two teeth and I%26#039;m not sure if its too creepy to save them or not. If so where do you keep them?

Do you keep your child%26#039;s baby teeth?
my mom kept mine...lol still has them...som 30 years later...





Before I had my human baby...I had chihuahua babies...and I kept theirs, I have a tin full of puppy teeth...





I will keep my son%26#039;s when he has them and then loses them...





And yes...IT IS kinda creepy...lol...but I can%26#039;t help it.





I got little painted tins from the Hallmark store..and I keep the puppy ones in there...I think I%26#039;ll get something similar for Lukes%26#039;...





You know what%26#039;s really creepy though??





You can get the all dipped in gold and then string them onto a chain...and wear them...





I know someone who had earrings made from her childs first two lost teeth..lol...AND she wore them all the time...








Augh...the things we do ...lol

Reply:my mom used to keep ours and i found them one day when i was like ten and it totally grossed me out. she kept them in a little pink jar. i think i would keep there first one that they lost and put it his baby book other then that just throw them away.
Reply:Yes I have a daughter that is 15 I have all her baby teeth in a plastic baggie in a container I use just for the teeth. I also have my 13 year old daughters teeth as well. And when my son comes up I will have his! A little weird I know but I just can%26#039;t help it!
Reply:yes, each of my kids have a little round tooth box that we keep their teeth in. the older ones think it%26#039;s gross, but the younger ones are totally fascinated by it.
Reply:my mom kept mine...I thought it very cool and fun to look at them they were so tiny! this is when I was like 11 and things but I still think it would be cool I think my mom eventually lost mine :(
Reply:I kept my son%26#039;s baby teeth. I put them in small plastic containers and labeled each one with the date lost and location in his mouth. He%26#039;s 21 now and thinks it%26#039;s cool that I still have his baby teeth. If nothing else keeping them gives you an instance dna source.
Reply:Creepy but still have them in a jar.
Reply:Well throw them away and leave money in his pillow (tooth fairy).
Reply:I do, I think that it would be nice to show them when they are older. You don%26#039;t have to keep them all though, just one or two. Put them away in a tiny Manila envelope that is labeled.
Reply:I keep them but i%26#039;m not sure why. Maybe because my mom always kept mine. I don%26#039;t know what I%26#039;ll ever do with them. It%26#039;s not like my son will grow up and one day ask for all of his teeth back. I guess it%26#039;s kinda weird when you really think about it.
Reply:My mom kept ours. We would put them in little envelopes for the tooth fairy and my mom just kept them in the envelopes and stowed them in her dresser drawer.
Reply:the tooth fairy has my teeth
Reply:each of my children have an old ring box (from a jewelry store), that they keep their own teeth in. they want to do it and they asked soooo sweetly, i couldn%26#039;t say no. they are 4 and 6 and have never believed in the tooth fairy or santa or the easter rabbit......i wonder why....?
Reply:I have 3 boys with twins on the way, so I am not going to keep every tooth, but with my 5 and 6 year old, who just lost teeth here recently, I kept the first one. I put it in a little snack sized zip lock bag and put their name on it. Then when they stop believing in the tooth fairy I will tape it in their baby books. I just throw away any after that.
Reply:Yes we kept our Children%26#039;s baby teeth and didn%26#039;t find it creepy at all. My wife kept their hospital bracelets, umbilical cord and for the boys some hair from the first haircut. Everything was kept in a keepsake box except for the teeth. To keep alive the illusion of the %26quot;Tooth Fairy%26#039; they had to be hidden away until the children out grew the notion.
Reply:I used a paper plate, drew a life sized face on it, and a huge smile with no teeth. As my kids teeth fell out, I would attach the teeth in the coordinating place on the smile. They can keep track of the teeth they have already lost as well as the ones they can look forward to attaching to the plate.





Some people may find it creepy, but I find it educational and fun.
Reply:My daughter only lost 2 so far but yes I kept them....I bought a lil tooth box and keep them there
Reply:I%26#039;m gonna keep my son%26#039;s. I don%26#039;t think that it is creepy. I%26#039;d keep his first wet diaper if it wouldn%26#039;t stink and mold! lol...I%26#039;m gonna keep everything that I can!! I%26#039;m 5 months pregnant so i have a way to go, but I am looking forward to keeping things!
