Sometimes a baby tooth needs a little help. It might be stubborn, or a grown-up tooth is coming in behind it, and the dentist has to take it out. That can be a big day for a small person: the waiting room, the chair, the strange sounds, and a numb lip for the afternoon. A letter from the Tooth Fairy that night helps a child feel proud instead of shaken. Ours tells your child the fairy heard about the dentist and knows it took a very special kind of courage. It explains that the dentist and the fairy are on the same team, both wanting a healthy, happy smile, and that your child helped them both today. Then it adds a gold star to their name in the fairy's Book of Brave Hearts. Ask your dentist's office for the tooth in a little envelope so it can go under the pillow, or let the letter explain that the fairy already knows.

“I heard that your tooth needed a little help to come out, and that you were brave at the dentist. That takes a very special kind of courage.”
From “Brave at the Dentist”

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

  • Dear Mia, I heard about the dentist

    I heard that your tooth needed a little help to come out, and that you were brave at the dentist. That takes a very special kind of courage.

    The dentist and I are on the same team. We both want your smile to be healthy and happy. You helped us both today. And I heard you bit into a crunchy apple!

    I have left a shiny coin under your pillow, and I added a gold star to your name in my Book of Brave Hearts.

    With a big fairy hug,

    Twinkle

    Brave at the Dentist

    For a tooth that needed a little help. The dentist and the fairy are on the same team.

Questions parents ask

Does the Tooth Fairy come if the dentist pulled the tooth?

Of course. Most dental offices will give you the tooth in a small container. Our letter is written specifically for teeth that needed the dentist's help.

How do I make a dentist visit less scary next time?

Talking about the dentist as a helper, on the same team as the Tooth Fairy, can help. Our letter frames it exactly that way, without anything scary.

Can I mention what my child did at the dentist?

Yes. Add a brave moment such as "sat really still" or "held the nurse's hand" and the fairy will mention it.

Is there a certificate for a dentist tooth?

Yes, the magic version includes the Tooth Certificate for every letter, including this one.

Tonight's the night.

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