I dunno, I have seen a "lost" tooth and they are pretty gross to me. I think my parents kept a few of mine but I have absolutely no interest in having them. Maybe I will just throw them in a baggie for LO and he can decide? Yuck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-baby-teeth#post-2515169 Mon, 04 Apr 2016 15:46:55 +0000 My Only Sunshine 2515169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom saved mine! When they were moving a couple years ago I was helping pack and sort things and she wanted to give them to me. Gross. We threw them out, which makes me think I won't save my kids' teeth. Mine were in a random box in my parents' basement and then got thrown in the trash 25 years later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-baby-teeth#post-2515147 Mon, 04 Apr 2016 15:37:12 +0000 youboots 2515147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will save 1-2 my newborn photographer gave me a couple glass vials with cork for hair/teeth.</p> <p>Someone told me their mom kept their umbilical corn in their baby book, just no. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-baby-teeth#post-2515119 Mon, 04 Apr 2016 15:18:53 +0000 stiletto_mom 2515119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 30 and I still have a box of my baby teeth.</p> <p>Hubby thinks it's gross.

I remember finding them in her cedar chest when I was 10 or so. They were together with my older brothers teeth (ew) so I had no idea which were mine.</p> <p>I'll probably save a few. Maybe the first and last. I'm also thinking about sending one into that company that retrieves the stem cells and stores them. Pretty pricy, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-baby-teeth#post-2514980 Mon, 04 Apr 2016 14:01:02 +0000 PawPrints 2514980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Raindrop: My mom's insight into this topic was that the process of cutting the baby teeth in the first place was such a nightmare that she wasn't just going to throw them away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-baby-teeth#post-2514970 Mon, 04 Apr 2016 13:53:28 +0000 looch 2514970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Raindrop: yep, she did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-baby-teeth#post-2514961 Mon, 04 Apr 2016 13:47:54 +0000 Raindrop 2514961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: Your mom saved your umbilical stump?!?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-baby-teeth#post-2514959 Mon, 04 Apr 2016 13:46:42 +0000 Raindrop 2514959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: Haha my mom didn't save mine which is why I think I'm on the fence.</p> <p>@LuLu Mom: That's a good idea... maybe I'll just save one or two and write the dates down for when he looses them. </p> <p>@Mama Bird: I hear you! I'm a sentimental wreck also but I live in a small place so I have to somehow limit my hording of sentimental stuff! Hehe.</p> <p>@PawPrints: Maybe it has to do with where you come from?

I was really surprised, I assumed everybody's moms had saved all their baby teeth. Apparently not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-baby-teeth#post-2514913 Mon, 04 Apr 2016 13:25:59 +0000 Mama Bird 2514913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my goodness I don't know! I think it's kind of gross to save them but I also can't see throwing them out... maybe the kids will lose them somewhere I won't find them! Haha we're not even close to that age and I'm already being a sentimental wreck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-baby-teeth#post-2514901 Mon, 04 Apr 2016 13:19:33 +0000 lilyann 2514901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son (3) fell at daycare and knocked out one of his front teeth, I kept it. :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-baby-teeth#post-2514893 Mon, 04 Apr 2016 13:14:31 +0000 rachiecakes 2514893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd maybe save them?</p> <p>I mean, his first tooth, ::sniff-sniff::, I remember when it came in.. :crying:<br /> He keeps asking me when he's going to lose his teeth so the tooth fairy can come visit, lol</p> <p>@snowjewelz: my mom saved mine and told me the tooth fairy gave them to her :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-baby-teeth#post-2514888 Mon, 04 Apr 2016 13:13:38 +0000 LuLu Mom 2514888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I think it is so gross haha, my mom I believe kept our first in our baby books maybe i'll do that...maybe. otherwise absolutely not.

I don't think that I'm going to save them - I don't know what I would do with them! Or what he would do with them for that matter.<br /> However, a friend gave me the tip of saving 1 or 2 to have on hand just in case. Her daughter lost her tooth, but somehow it fell down the drain, so she was very upset that there was no actual tooth for the tooth fairy to take. My friend looked and 'found' the tooth and all was good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-baby-teeth#post-2514836 Mon, 04 Apr 2016 12:41:09 +0000 Raindrop 2514836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On the radio this morning, one of the host mentioned she saved her son’s baby teeth. The other host was super grossed out about it!!</p> <p>I am not completely sure what I would do since my kids haven’t lost their teeth yet. If I had to answer right now, I’m going to say that I will probably save my kid’s teeth.</p> <p>I definitely understand why people would think it’s gross. </p> <p>A lot of people on the radio wrote in as an adult and their mothers trying to give them their baby teeth as adults and they wouldn’t take them! Haha. </p> <p>Some people as older mothers turned their kid’s baby teeth into memorable like made a crafty item out of it… pendent is what I heard one example was. Yikes, not sure if I would do that. But that does beg a question on what are you going to do with the teeth if you do save them.</p> <p>Are you going to save your kids teeth? If you answer yes can you please tell me what you plan to do with them?</p> <p>If I save my kids teeth I’ll probably just store them in a little box in the big box where I save all their other paper work and other items I have saved for them (BTW I am saving all their glamour shot outfits so it will go there). </p>
