What does the tooth fairy bring a 34 yr old?!

[mommaU4]

Guess what? I lost a tooth the other day. Wednesday morning to be exact. I had a tooth that was a baby tooth still. There was no permanent tooth to push it out, but about a year ago the gum around it started to recede and without deep roots to keep it in it eventually fell out.

I went to the dentist today to have it looked at, which, BTW, is huge for me because I hate, hate , hate the dentist. I have to decide whether to get a partial (like dentures), a crown with a bridge, or an implant. The implant is the best but most expensive option. And it requires more healing time. It could take up to a year for the whole process to be completed.

I told DH that if I was going to pay that much for an implant and go though all that hassle, it wasn't going to be for my mouth!!!!

Anyways I saved the tooth and told the dentist I'd bring it in next time I came in. She suggested (in front of my DH) that I put it under my pillow for the tooth fairy. So I asked her what the tooth fairy could possibly bring a 34 yr old? Her receptionist overheard and piped up with the answer "Earrings!"

Hmmmm...... that'd work!

The real kicker to all this? My DD5 lost her first tooth the SAME DAY! Who thought I'd still be losing teeth at this age.

The tooth fairy is a distant relative to the tag fairy. We can never know what they will bring us.

I think a trip to Disney World would be appropriate.

I had a wisdom tooth pulled today. I never even thought to put it under my pillow. I sure will now and I'll make sure DH knows about it. Thanks for the idea!

Hee hee! That's cute If I got rewards like that, I wouldn't be afraid of the dentist anymore!
