When my kids lose teeth, some weird part of my brain tells me I'm supposed to keep them. But a medicine bottle full of baby teeth, forgotten, then re-discovered 40 years from now, sounds kinda gross. Maybe you're supposed to look at them now and again, to reminisce about birthday cakes, Cheezits, and that bed-frame finial with the varnish gnawed off. This has never been explained to me.
What do you guys do?
Don’t know, the tooth fairy took them all! My 4 year old granddaughter told me that the tooth fairy used them to build her castle. Sounds reasonable to me...
Just a small ritual to allow good college entrance as I can’t afford to bribe like some others.
i Still have a couple in my sock drawer, not sure why. A part of me wants to bury them in my neighbor’s flower bed.

Huh huh. “Sock drawer.”

My sock drawer has socks in it
all the guns and drugs are in the underpants drawer.
Sell them to gypsies.
This thread has merit.

I'm just trying to get some substantive conversation going around here.
I used some, soaked in Coca-Cola to demonstrate the effect it has on teeth.
It was highly effective.
My wife has a morbid little collection of hair and teeth from three kids. Creeps me out whenever I see it.
If you keep them in a sealed bottle whatever you do: Do NOT open those bottles! They stink to high hell!
Necklace? It’s highly stylish in some parts of the world.
I give them to my wife.
What she does with them I have no idea. There may well be a shrine in a drawer somewhere...
keep them, install them in the mouth of a teddy bear to make creepiest thing ever.
If child had a Goth teenage phase give to them for bonding opportunity, if not save for grandchildren for Max nightmare impact....

I still have the first few of Lil Stampie's. He lost one Saturday and asked me what to do with it. I asked if he wanted it. He said no. I said well I don't want it either take it to Mom's. Everything I want to get rid of I send to his mom's.

Ditto. My son has finally caught on that any particularly loud or obnoxious item is "encouraged" to have residency at his mothers' house. I assume she has their teeth somewhere.
This thread is relevant to my interests because my son just lost his first tooth yesterday and asked the tooth fairy if he could keep it. We have to come up with someplace to store it I suppose.
I think SWMBO saved them, no idea where. I do know she has the milk teeth in an earring box from her first puppy
Save at least one in a pill jar back filled with N2 (computer duster) Label with name and age put in safe with life insurance policy. Hopefully you'll never need a DNA sample for your kids but if you do there it is.
You’re supposed to make a necklace with them, then give it to them as either a wedding or graduation present. Right?

Hmmm. I've got a few years before demons teeth fall out, but I like that idea

Holy cow, I saw the title and thought "necklace right?".....
This 3-year-old thread was zombied by some AI canoes, and it terrifies me to think maybe they were attracted to the image of that doll.

In all seriousness we keep them mostly out of sentimental reasons in a jewelry box on my wife's dresser. There is a depressing reason that they arw a great store of DNA if such a horric case od identification was ever needed. Buzz kill, I know.
