Question: What does the tooth fairy do with all those teeth?
Answer: She makes jewelry, of course!
The average child loses about 20 teeth by the age of 12. Multiply that by the number of children in the world and that adds up to a lot of teeth! While not every culture subscribes to the Tooth Fairy belief, a significant chunk of the world does, which leaves us to wonder; where exactly do all those teeth end up? For some, fallen baby teeth are becoming the hottest new fashion accessory. Here’s a look at some unlikely dental jewelry made to commemorate all those lost teeth.
Wear Your Tooth as a Ring
Once those teeth fall out, you can have them set in a ring to be preserved for years to come. Put those pearly whites to use in a one of a kind ring.
Cast Your Tooth
Find the though of wearing a real human tooth to be a little too creepy? You can also get an exact copy of your tooth cast in metal for a unique replica of your individual tooth.
Make a Tooth Sculpture
If abstract art is what you like, what better material to work with than human teeth? It’s certainly unexpected to say the least, and it will be sure to catch everyone’s eye.
Turn Your Wisdom Teeth into a Charm Necklace
If you were one of those lucky individuals who have had their wisdom teeth removed, the sturdier roots can be used to make dangling charms on a necklace.
These unique pieces of work make us rethink the phrase “lose a tooth.” After all, if we carry baby teeth around on a regular basis, we can’t really say they are “lost.” Just keep in mind that healthy teeth don’t make good jewelry!
