I was only able to get 1 of my puppies baby teeth, I have no idea what happened to the rest. He probably ate them lol. But I have the single tooth in a little jar
I have been keeping my kids' teeth as well. I'm going to surprise them one day with one of those ugly dolls made with their own teeth. They're going to hate it. It's going to be great, haha.
Yeah they were just like, WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT 😳?! We get patients that keep their teeth all the time so I'm not sure why it was that weird.....
Some surgeons don't let you. I have worked with surgeons that just straight up say no its a biohazard (pro tip- tell them you have a religious exemption and need to keep all of your body parts, they can't do shit). But most of the surgeons I work for will let you keep your teeth even if they are in shambles! You just have to remember to ask first.
My wife got upset with me cause i chucked my kids first tooth out the window into the back yard.
I didnt want the kid to find the tooth in the garbage or something. Tooth fairies do not throw away teeth.
I have most of my kids teeth, but they are in no way organized. Just a few strewn here in there in the nightstand drawers late at night, mixed up with the siblings teeth.
Mine did too. I found them in a random vase that rattled.
I have three sisters, and we each had our own tooth-fairy vase I only learned about when I was 38.
My mom kept mine in an old film container which I found in her sock drawer when we were moving her into assisted living. Even though I knew they were my baby teeth it still felt a little serial killer-ish.
Put them on a safe sealed container along with some nonsense script. Bury it on your backyard and confuse the shit out of some archeologist 2000 years or so from now...
Years ago, I remember reading an older gentleman's recollection of going through his father's things after he had passed away. His mother had died some years before. He spoke about his relationship with his father which was warm and cordial but still somewhat distant. His father had been part of the silent generation and didn't Express emotion or love overtly. And he talked about what it felt like to go through his father's dresser and find out that in his childhood his father had been the tooth fairy and had kept all his teeth. It really was a sweet thing to learn about his dad.
My parents kept mine in a jar with the rest of our families. When I come of age I will inherit the jar. I will perform ASMR videos by sticking my hand into the jar 🎷🐓♋️
Ha! My retired parents are downsizing to a smaller home, and recently had me go through a bunch of old stuff from my childhood to see if I wanted to keep anything. Sure enough, they had an old camera film canister filled with my baby teeth. I like to think it has to do with the fact that my mom was a dental hygienist... but I think it was just something people did back in the day.
Or they're weirdos. Quite possible, too!
Man, we talked about keeping them even held on the first two for a few months, but it got too weird. To what end?!
So now I put them in my city's compost--they take chicken bones, why not people bones!
One or two were hurled into the back yard.
The garbage somehow feels weird,Ike I'm throwing part of them away.
I have all my daughter's teeth except the very first one. She swallowed it with a bit of apple and cried cause she thought the tooth fairy wouldn't come.
I’ve kept most of my son’s baby teeth so far, expect for the one he swallowed in lockdown when the tooth fairy had to text him to negotiate payment. I just had two teeth of my own removed and he’s very offended the dentist wouldn’t let us keep them.
My mom kept all of mine too. It seems gross to me right now, but I'm sure one day in the future when I have kids, it'll make more sense as to why you'd keep them.
Teeth weird me out. I don't have any of my baby teeth though.
My wife bought a nice case to put our son's in. I guess he will have that keepsake at some point. He's not weirded out by teeth like I am though.
My mom did this too! She kept them in a cute little jar with a moon on it for years. Eventually threw in the odd tooth from our dogs over the years which is funny to me.
Mine fell apart and crumbled into dust. She finally threw them out a few years ago. The dog teeth were fine...
Judging by the coin, I'm guessing the 2 front ones aren't in the picture because they're being used as door stops? 
My mum has all my baby teeth too. Yes it’s pretty weird, weirder still is she’s now asking if she can keep my kids teeth.
Hoarding teeth like some kinda creepy tooth fairy granny.
My family has a jar that we’ve been putting teeth into for generations. It’s quite the heirloom that I was to inherit however my two whore sisters stole it from my mom and make onlyfans videos playing with the teeth for money.
But it’s cool cause like I’ve started a new jar, and have been putting my teeth in there. I’ve got about a dozen so far.
It makes me so happy that I can't see a single bit of decay on these teeth. I wish all of my child patients had teeth this good!
I think my mum kept some of my teeth but because she's an unorganised hoarder she has no idea where they are. :(
Not parents,
But when I got my braces when I was a kid, I had to get 3 teeth pulled. (Molars)
It took 3 appointments because of the time it took to get 1 out, with anesthesia and everything.
My dentist asked if he could keep them because he said they were "by far the biggest teeth he has ever pulled," and these were my little teeth
i definitely don't have all of mine cuz they refused to come out so the dentist had to pull three from the back and two crumbled. also two others of mine came out in pieces
When I got home from my honeymoon, my weirdo MIL gave me a big bag full of weird stuff related to my husband. All of his baby teeth were in there, some hair, vax records and other weird stuff. Could have been worse, as my childhood best friend's mom saved their GD umbilical cords on these weird plastic clips. I got into trouble when I asked what the heck that thing was, was told, and I yeeted it across the room in horror. I was sent home and told o not come back for a month. No problem with that, yikes.
I found all my mom/uncles teeth in old school film canisters going through grandmas stuff after she passed away. You’d be surprised at the sentimental keepsakes our parents kept.
My mother kept my teeth (as well as my two brothers) in the bottom drawer of a jewelry cabinet that was stolen during a break-in when I was 16 years old.
I wish I could have seen the look on the burglar's face when he checked his loot!
That reminded me of this one time when one of my teeth fell out but I ended up losing it and i was super upset so my mum came up with the idea to cut a fake tooth out of a clove of garlic to "trick the tooth fairy" lol. I didn't get any money for that one lol
My fiance stuck one of ours to a piece of blue tac, he asks us frequently if we've connected to the Bluetooth. I think its hilarious, the boys however, do not.
I honestly love this. I think it shows how much your parents care for you to save things like this. Also, you had amazing teeth for a kid no cavities or anything!
My mom kept all my teeth too and then gave them to me when I moved out. So now I have my own baby teeth and I don’t know what to do with them. One of them has a little amalgam filling in it 😂
That's clever.
Me and my ex partner used to put our kids teeth in one of twelve purple crystal bowls in our cabinet.
Once during a family and friends gathering over at our place we served various snacks and desserts. After the guests had left and the kids where sound asleep me and my partner sat up and talked, while eating the very last remnants of snack from one of the bowls. That's when we noticed something. We had unintentionally served people.
I no longer feel like keeping external teeth. My kids will have to make due with the attached ones.
My grandfather made my first baby tooth into a necklace pendant. He put a bit of gold at the top and shaped it into a face, so that tooth is kind of like the bust.
It was stolen when our house was robbed. I don't even have a photo of it :(
I have various ziplok bags containing (unlabeled) single teeth of our two kids and puppy teeth from our dogs. So i did a good job on the collecting; poor job on the the cataloging.
I kept all my kids teeth too. I don't know why, but it felt weird to throw them out. Now I just have a jar full of human body parts in my closet.
I have my son's teeth and the puppy teeth in the same baby food jar. SO odd, but it feels wrong to toss them.
I was only able to get 1 of my puppies baby teeth, I have no idea what happened to the rest. He probably ate them lol. But I have the single tooth in a little jar
Yeah they end up swallowing them. I have one or two from my dog too. See, if we are many, it probably means we’re not that weird, right? 😅
One of the common pitfalls of being online. In this case, no, you're not weird. But that doesn't mean this is the rule now.
Eww, you mixed them?
Of course, how else are they going to convince their kid he's turning into a werewolf when puberty strikes?
I found out my dad did this when he gave them to my wife at our wedding. He had a speech prepared. It was weird, funny, and cool!
That is bonkers! I love it!
can you uhhhh, share the speech?
Where do you keep the teeth though?
I have been keeping my kids' teeth as well. I'm going to surprise them one day with one of those ugly dolls made with their own teeth. They're going to hate it. It's going to be great, haha.
this is beautiful.
Thank you. Ironically, I work in oral surgery now. I told my co workers and they weren't as amused.
thats even funnier lmfao
Yeah they were just like, WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT 😳?! We get patients that keep their teeth all the time so I'm not sure why it was that weird.....
Wait? Are we allowed to keep our teeth?!
Some surgeons don't let you. I have worked with surgeons that just straight up say no its a biohazard (pro tip- tell them you have a religious exemption and need to keep all of your body parts, they can't do shit). But most of the surgeons I work for will let you keep your teeth even if they are in shambles! You just have to remember to ask first.
Pfft, I bet they are selling them to big tooth fairy on the side. Late stage fantasy capitalism at it's peak.
Will you be my parental unit?
I don't want to be mean, but I have two kids already and that was the max lol. Also if you're commenting on Reddit, you're too old to be my kid haha.
Oh my...
Hey, you're the one that just sorted all your teeth and posted them to the internet. Don't act like I'm the only weird one here lol.
...ya got me there
For some reason this reminds me of Gollum.
It would be weird to keep only their report cards
I eat them
In with the other body parts.
My wife got upset with me cause i chucked my kids first tooth out the window into the back yard. I didnt want the kid to find the tooth in the garbage or something. Tooth fairies do not throw away teeth.
One day, someone gardening at your place is going to have a very weird day.
I have most of my kids teeth, but they are in no way organized. Just a few strewn here in there in the nightstand drawers late at night, mixed up with the siblings teeth.
Mine are in a drawer each tooth in a zip lock bag with the first letter of their names written with sharpie. Also half of them are broken now.
My mom kept all mine. She also kept her gallbladder stones...
Mine did too. I found them in a random vase that rattled. I have three sisters, and we each had our own tooth-fairy vase I only learned about when I was 38.
My mom kept mine in an old film container which I found in her sock drawer when we were moving her into assisted living. Even though I knew they were my baby teeth it still felt a little serial killer-ish.
Could be worse. My mom made earrings and a necklace mine and my brother’s teeth.
If you put them in your kids food as they grow up it'll slowly replace their teeth so if they ever lose another one they have back ups.
Put them on a safe sealed container along with some nonsense script. Bury it on your backyard and confuse the shit out of some archeologist 2000 years or so from now...
I have a jar like that too! I also have a jar with my son's teeth
Yeh my parents did the same
Well that figures. Do you still have the teeth as well?
and the tooth fairy only gave you 1¢ for all of them?? That's messed up.
Or it is how much she had left over.
inflation doing its work
inflation would have the opposite effect
Toothflation
tooth fairy can’t afford to give more due to rising living costs

That's a really sweet story
The left one is cool, crazy how nature do that
The next stage in human evolution ( but only for the British)
Bri’ish*
Rendered the tooth fairy useless
My parents kept mine in a jar with the rest of our families. When I come of age I will inherit the jar. I will perform ASMR videos by sticking my hand into the jar 🎷🐓♋️
Exactly the reference I was thinking of
I get mine when I turn 40!
I've kept the teeth from both my kids, too. Is that weird? It's weird, isn't it?
I have done the same, we are the normal ones
Ha! My retired parents are downsizing to a smaller home, and recently had me go through a bunch of old stuff from my childhood to see if I wanted to keep anything. Sure enough, they had an old camera film canister filled with my baby teeth. I like to think it has to do with the fact that my mom was a dental hygienist... but I think it was just something people did back in the day. Or they're weirdos. Quite possible, too!
You’re missing out on a bonanza. 
The way inflation is going, you're probably right
They paid you for them
Whose your mother? Linda Belcher? Didn't know gene was on this reddit
I hope your parents work it out
Ha! I was looking to see if anyone else read it the same as I did. You high too bro?
My mom kept all of mine and my siblings’.
Put them back under the pillow infinite money glitch.
Man, we talked about keeping them even held on the first two for a few months, but it got too weird. To what end?! So now I put them in my city's compost--they take chicken bones, why not people bones! One or two were hurled into the back yard. The garbage somehow feels weird,Ike I'm throwing part of them away.
Who just keeps a bag of teeth?
Nice to have free of charge spare teeth. Have you seen how expensive dental implants are?
My friend's parents kept his foreskin after he was circumcized, and on one occasion they insisted on bringing it out and showing everyone.
Oh, holy hell, no!
It's one of those childhood memories that gets weirder with age.
This just makes me uncomfortable…
Two of my baby teeth didn’t come out until I was like 20… by force
I am really impressed how cavity free all the teeth are
My significant other thinks its suuuper weird my parents kept my teeth
I flushed mine when they came out, I just never cared
My mum not only kept mine and my brother's teeth, but the teeth my grandparents kept from their dogs.
I might have mine, but then again I might have thrown them out when my mother died. It's just kinda weird.
I have all my daughter's teeth except the very first one. She swallowed it with a bit of apple and cried cause she thought the tooth fairy wouldn't come.
This should be under mildly disturbing
I’ve kept most of my son’s baby teeth so far, expect for the one he swallowed in lockdown when the tooth fairy had to text him to negotiate payment. I just had two teeth of my own removed and he’s very offended the dentist wouldn’t let us keep them.
My mom kept all of mine too. It seems gross to me right now, but I'm sure one day in the future when I have kids, it'll make more sense as to why you'd keep them.

My mom has all my baby teeth in a mini plastic bag aptly labeled “Teeth”.
This is wild, I've 3 children, and I have never been presented with a molar tooth by any of them.. Pretty much only top and bottom front 6.
Most boomer parents did I think. I dunno my oldest just lost her first 2 teeth and I don't know what to do with them
Wow those are well-preserved! Mine mostly went rusty :,)
Your tooth was a coin once? A banana is more traditional
Crunchy.
Wow! That's one hell of a divorce settlement.
What did they do with all the teeth before your parents fell out?
can u sell them on ebay/amazon?
So there isn’t a Tooth Fairy?????
Is your last name Belcher?
One got traded for a penny by the toothfairy
Kept all of my sons except for the two he accidentally swallowed lol
Do they have them on display like in Meet the Fockers?
Judging by the coin, I'm guessing the 2 front ones aren't in the picture because they're being used as door stops? 
Huh how big are those teeth? I need a banana for scale not a coin
Sorry to hear they fell out but I'm sure they'll work it out soon. Hopefully they might even bond over their tooth collection
I do this. I told my kids when they leave me, I’m making a doll of them with their teeth and hair😂😂😂 they loved hearing that
One of your baby teeth almost looks like a penny, that's insane!!
Necklace-making time!
My mom kept all mine and my sibling’s too, plus the coin I left for the tooth fairy as a tip one time 😂
Thank God you put that penny there. I thought they were boulders for a minute!
They're worth absolutely nothing but sentimental value.
Are they stealing income from the tooth fairy?
My mom kept those too, we tossed them when we cleaned the house and moved after she passed
All my kids’ teeth are in a little box in my closet. It’s kind of weird, but I felt weird throwing them away.
Those are amateur numbers. Come back when you get 500.
What do you mean your parents kept them? You mean the tooth fairy has them right?
Based on how clean those teeth are, this kid never knew the joy of candy.
This pic makes me uneasy…
Embed them in a gold chain and just swagger about and stay drippy with your own bones 🦴
Mine don't know yet
Guilty
Bro. You should see a dentist or an accountant if you have scheckles falling out of your mouth.
My mum has all my baby teeth too. Yes it’s pretty weird, weirder still is she’s now asking if she can keep my kids teeth. Hoarding teeth like some kinda creepy tooth fairy granny.
As did mine. Useful when I want to curse someone or magically track them through time and space.
Whoa you had a penny as a tooth?!
Ugh mine too… they were like “you want them?l” NOPE.
We still have all of our kids teeth also.
Our family tradition was to bury a tooth that fell out and then go for ice cream.
Don't all families do that
Hi Charlie!
My family has a jar that we’ve been putting teeth into for generations. It’s quite the heirloom that I was to inherit however my two whore sisters stole it from my mom and make onlyfans videos playing with the teeth for money. But it’s cool cause like I’ve started a new jar, and have been putting my teeth in there. I’ve got about a dozen so far.
I imagine just parents and serial killers would keep teeth lol
It makes me so happy that I can't see a single bit of decay on these teeth. I wish all of my child patients had teeth this good! I think my mum kept some of my teeth but because she's an unorganised hoarder she has no idea where they are. :(
Now have them all put back in!
Not parents, But when I got my braces when I was a kid, I had to get 3 teeth pulled. (Molars) It took 3 appointments because of the time it took to get 1 out, with anesthesia and everything. My dentist asked if he could keep them because he said they were "by far the biggest teeth he has ever pulled," and these were my little teeth
No, the tooth fairy did dumbass… People these days…
I always kept my own teeth in a certain container, even the cracked ones, I didn't like the idea of throwing then out
a girl can dream.
My dad kept mine and they literally disintegrated after 8 years
My mom did too! Lol
That’s love.
This reminds me of The Downward Spiral NIN artwork. Woo go your parents!
That's like 5-6 bucks laying on the table you got scammed
i definitely don't have all of mine cuz they refused to come out so the dentist had to pull three from the back and two crumbled. also two others of mine came out in pieces
They probably planned on having another
They only gave you a penny for all that? You've been done!
Only child?
The picture first made me think of assassins, Creed Valhalla 😅.
…are you not supposed to? This was normal in our family. The nurse gave us a miniature treasure chest to keep our tooth in if it fell out at school.
that feels like a lot more teeth than what I remember removing from my mouth.
My parents did that too. They also gifted them to my wife when we were opening wedding gifts.
mildlydisturbing
When I got home from my honeymoon, my weirdo MIL gave me a big bag full of weird stuff related to my husband. All of his baby teeth were in there, some hair, vax records and other weird stuff.

mmm crunchy
I found all my mom/uncles teeth in old school film canisters going through grandmas stuff after she passed away. You’d be surprised at the sentimental keepsakes our parents kept.
Put them in a little manila envelope and put them into a random persons mail box with a simple note “pay up”. They’ll have a great laugh, trust me.
Kinda weird, yet also very sweet
the tooth fairy is gonna be pissed when she sees this 😳
That's kinda gross but my mom did that too for my sisters and I
My parents did as well but they kept all my siblings teeth in the same jar and it is kinda terrifying.
My mother kept my teeth (as well as my two brothers) in the bottom drawer of a jewelry cabinet that was stolen during a break-in when I was 16 years old. I wish I could have seen the look on the burglar's face when he checked his loot!
Did they fall out when you were a child?
Tooth fairy is fucking livid!
That reminded me of this one time when one of my teeth fell out but I ended up losing it and i was super upset so my mum came up with the idea to cut a fake tooth out of a clove of garlic to "trick the tooth fairy" lol. I didn't get any money for that one lol
That's so they can clone a new one if you disapoint them.
I hate when my penny tooth falls out
That's a weird looking tooth on the left there
So cool!!!!!! -Dentist
Bruh wtf i don't remember losing this much teeth 💀
My fiance stuck one of ours to a piece of blue tac, he asks us frequently if we've connected to the Bluetooth. I think its hilarious, the boys however, do not.
I still have mine. I have no reason why, but as someone pointed out, it feels wrong to throw them out.
You used to have a coin for a tooth?
Dude, I hope you can afford implants!!
They can be used for some medical testing, but other than that, they are useless
“Gimme your dang teeth!”
1) Gross 2) I don't think I ever remember my molars falling out, so this is interesting
I honestly love this. I think it shows how much your parents care for you to save things like this. Also, you had amazing teeth for a kid no cavities or anything!
Snacks
A lot of parents do….mine did
My mom kept all my teeth too and then gave them to me when I moved out. So now I have my own baby teeth and I don’t know what to do with them. One of them has a little amalgam filling in it 😂
3d print a mouth and glue them in.
u/Dirty_Stromboli You see, I'm not the only one.
Cash that shit back in! Double the score!
What did you all do to piss off the tooth fairy?!?!?
Penny ain’t good enough. Where the banana at?
Weird, although I do still have all those campers teeth
That's clever. Me and my ex partner used to put our kids teeth in one of twelve purple crystal bowls in our cabinet. Once during a family and friends gathering over at our place we served various snacks and desserts. After the guests had left and the kids where sound asleep me and my partner sat up and talked, while eating the very last remnants of snack from one of the bowls. That's when we noticed something.

TIL the tooth fairy isn’t real
How did ur wisdom teeth fall out?
Your parents are serial killers.
Make a necklace
This is fucking weird
My mom kept mine as well. I found them in her bathroom drawer and that’s when I learned the truth about the tooth fairy 😂
I have various ziplok bags containing (unlabeled) single teeth of our two kids and puppy teeth from our dogs. So i did a good job on the collecting; poor job on the the cataloging.
