Every child reacts differently when it comes to losing their first tooth; while some children feel excited because their teeth are starting to loosen and are about to fall, others feel scared and anxious about losing teeth and any potential pain. In case of fear, we as parents need to reassure our children, talk to them, tell them stories and tales, like the Tooth Fairy story, hoping to make this experience easier and smoother, and to help them break their fear barrier and feel excited about getting new strong teeth.
