Gulp. It happens more than you would think: a wiggly tooth comes loose during dinner and goes straight down with a bite of pasta. Then comes the worry, usually followed by tears: will the Tooth Fairy still come? Our swallowed-tooth letter turns that moment into a giggle. The fairy explains that the tooth simply went on a little trip down to the tummy, that this happens to lots of kids, and that fairy rules clearly say a swallowed tooth still counts. She has even written it in her book. The letter keeps things light and silly without making your child feel they did anything wrong, and it closes with a gentle joke about chewing a little slower next time. Fill in your child's name and which tooth it was, and print it for tonight. A swallowed baby tooth is generally harmless, but if you are ever unsure, check with your pediatrician or dentist.

“So your tooth decided to go on a little trip down to your tummy. Don't worry, that happens to lots of kids, and it's totally okay!”
From “I Swallowed My Tooth!”

Shown here for Mia. Yours will have your child's name and details.

  • Gulp! Mia, I heard what happened!

    So your tooth decided to go on a little trip down to your tummy. Don't worry, that happens to lots of kids, and it's totally okay!

    Fairy rules say a swallowed tooth still counts. I wrote it in my book: "Mia's first tooth, safely gone on an adventure."

    I've left a shiny coin for you. Next time, maybe chew a little slower. Ha!

    Giggling all the way home,

    Twinkle

    I Swallowed My Tooth!

    Gulp! Fairy rules say a swallowed tooth still counts.

Questions parents ask

Does the Tooth Fairy come if you swallow your tooth?

Yes. Our fairy's rules say a swallowed tooth still counts, and the letter tells your child exactly that, with a smile.

What should my child leave under the pillow?

A note to the fairy explaining what happened works perfectly. Some kids draw the tooth. The fairy then leaves the letter and the reward.

Is swallowing a baby tooth dangerous?

A swallowed baby tooth usually passes without any problem. If your child is coughing, has trouble breathing or you are worried, contact your pediatrician or dentist.

Is this letter funny or serious?

It is light and reassuring, written to turn worry into giggles, with no blame and nothing scary.

Tonight's the night.

The tooth is under the pillow. The letter takes two minutes.
