DID YOU KNOW THAT?
The tooth fairy is a fantasy figure of early childhood. The folklore states that when children lose one of their baby teeth, they should place it underneath their pillow and the tooth fairy will visit while they sleep, replacing the lost tooth with a small payment.
The tradition of leaving a tooth under a pillow for the tooth fairy to collect is practised in various countries in the English-speaking world.

LOOKING AFTER TEETH
As soon as your children have several teeth, it’s a good idea to start encouraging them to have good dental hygiene habits.
Get your children to first watch you brush your teeth, then let them have a TOOTHBRUSH so that they can copy your actions. This needs to be done in a playful manner, as you want to encourage them to look after their teeth, which they should be able to do thoroughly on their own at about the age of 6 or 7.
As well as brushing their teeth, it’s also a good idea to limit the amount of sugary foods in their diet such as sweets, cakes, biscuits, chocolate and so forth.
First, take your TOOTHBRUSH. Next add a small amount of toothpaste…
now…. Brush!
