I understand saving baby teeth but...

ewwww!

Medium star Patricia Arquette recently confessed to USA Today that she had a "human baby-teeth" necklace made from her 17-year-old son Enzo's first set of teeth.
The Emmy winner admits that the necklace is not yet complete and says she'll add her 3-year-old daughter Harlow's teeth when they begin to fall out.

Hmmm, that is interesting. I can't imagine wearing something like that.

I have been saving my kids' teeth, and I really wonder what I am going to do with them!

My sister and I found a jar of teeth when we were poking around my mom's bedroom as older teens. We were freaked out! It was gross.

I don't save my kids teeth.

I have a bag o' teeth at home, but definitely not a necklace!

In South America I have seen people make earings with the kids teeth....ummmm...I think I will pass on that fashion statement.

You just gave me a Christmas present idea for DD - a necklace and earring set! "Here ya' go, sweetie - Merry Christmas...."

That just made me shudder.

I found one of my baby teeth when I was going through a box of stuff from my parent's attic. It was still in my tooth fairy pillow pocket.
Ugh.

To top that, though, about 2 weeks ago, I found our DD#2's umbilical cord stub on the stand next to our bed b/c it was under Dh's sleep machine.
THAT was gross.
In my defense, I remember it fell off in the middle of the night while I was feeding her in our bedroom and I think I just put it on the stand and forgot about it.......... I threw it in the garbage when I found it, though.

my mil has my dh's teeth in a jar on her fireplace and he sure isnt 17 blehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Dh has saved all of my kids' baby teeth - has a labeled film canister for each. They are kept in his nightstand drawer; I never ever open them. For some reason, they gross me out.

Our's are in a baggie in DH's sock drawer. They gross me out too...I guess at least a necklace is a useful use of enamel.
Now that we have 4 kids what will the tooth fairy do with all those teeth?

I saved my dogs teeth when I was little and threw them out when I went to college. That would have been an interesting necklace too

 

[LisaNJ25]

It could be worst... dd had a toe removed in April and dh asked them dr if we could keep it

 

[Sonya]

My mom saved all of mine, even the molars. I found them when I was about 10 or so, I think. I think the 1st one or 2 baby teeth is kind of cute but after that.......

If I could find my teeth I would have my mom's Christmas gift done!

 

[Mady/Sophiemom]

OK I must be really gross.

I've kept- My DD's baby teeth, dried umbilical cords, and the home pregnancy tests (in a sealed bag).

Gross.....

Sorry, but the dried umbilical cords kinda grosses me out!!

I've saved both my kids first lost tooth & put it in a clear envelope in their baby books - I didn't really see a need to keep more than that!

I know.

Well, I have inadvertantly saved my DS baby teeth.

DH has been the one to do the ol switch a roo, and I guess he thought the best place to put the teeth was in MY sock drawer.

I'm not about to make a necklace our of them though...
