A Tooth Fairy goodbye letter for the last baby tooth

How to write it

Say thank you

For every tooth, and for looking after them so well.

Look back at one earlier tooth

The first one, or the funniest one.

Hand over the job

Their grown-up teeth are theirs to look after now.

Keep it for the memory box

This is the one parents frame.

An example

Dear Leo, this is the last tooth I will collect from you, and I wanted to say thank you. From the very first one to this one, you have been one of my favorite stops.

Another way to say it

Dear Mia, I have been to your house many times, and tonight is the last. I remember your very first tooth and how proud you were. You have looked after every one since. Thank you for all of them.

Questions parents ask

How many baby teeth does a child lose?

Children have 20 baby teeth, and most lose them between about ages 6 and 12, so the last visit often comes around the end of primary school.

What does the Tooth Fairy say for the last tooth?

A thank-you, a memory of an earlier tooth, and a kind handing-over: the grown-up teeth are theirs to look after now.
