Ok my daughter lost her first tooth and I want to save it and put it in her scrap book how do I go about it.?

Answer 1

I did a bit of research into this and based on some information I found I came across the following:

"Protocol for preserving the extracted teeth:

To disinfect the teeth, dilute household bleach in 1:5 (1 part bleach + 4 parts water) and soak for 2-3 days. "

2. Keep the teeth in a mixture of following solution: 2 parts of bleach + 3 parts of glycerin (from cvs or Walgreen) + 5 parts of water.

I bought the glycerine at the drug store, it was in the facial products area--apparently used as a skin softener. It keeps the teeth from becoming brittle. It worked well and I had no problems with brittle teeth, but heard of others' teeth fracturing and chipping."

I would use this as a guide for your daughter's tooth and then apply a sealant (you could get this from an art shop).

Also note, the enamel on teeth has a tendency to
crack. Avoid subjecting the teeth to rapid temperature
changes, such as placing a cold tooth in very hot
water. If teeth do crack, especially canines, fill the
cracks with a clear drying glue.

Once it is all prepared you can then get one of those little clear 'boxes' that go on a scrapbook page for keepsakes.

Here is an example page of a first tooth page as well - http://www.scrapbookmemoriestv.com/projects/300/309_1.html

It's still a baby tooth-she'll be fine. It's not bad for her to lose it too early. I'd be worried about the adult tooth underneath it--I'd get that x-rayed, but I'm sure they won't be able to say anything until it comes out. You can't save it; it's a baby tooth. I heard about this happening to SO many kids, you have no idea! I used to be a nanny for a dentist and an orthodontist. Both of them said that if it's a baby tooth, there's nothing that can be done and to let it fall out.

My mom use to always take our teeth and put money under the pillow. Then she took the tooth and put it in an envelope and labeled who, what, and when. Then years later when we stopped believing in the tooth fairy she put them in the scrap book.

Answer 4

The tooth itself should be fine.

Only if it were a permanent tooth and she knocked it out would you put it in milk, that is to keep it alive so the doctors can put it back in.

It should be fine just the way it is. No preservation needed. It will simply die. The tooth, that is.

Answer 5

HELLO,
THE SAVING OF A FIRST TOOTH CAN BE A PRECIOUS THING, BUT UNLESS YOU PLAN TO GLUE THE TOOTH TO THE BOOK WITH A STRONG GLUE, THE TOOTH CAN BE EASILY LOST FOREVER. I SUGGEST GETTING A SMALL TRANSPARENT BAGGIE AND PUTTING THE TOOTH IN IT AND STAPLING THIS INSIDE THE BOOK.

Answer 6

Some dentist have these cute little "treasure box's" to put them in. Check to see if you can find one. Or, just put it in an envelope and in the book. (Just don't ever let her find it! Mine did....after she put it under her pillow for the tooth fairy! I really had to work to get outta that one! LOL!)
