Each child reacts differently when it comes to losing their primary teeth, while some children feel excited that their teeth started to wobble, others feel worried and scared about the idea of losing their teeth or the feeling of any possible pain.
As parents, we should reassure our children, talk to them, and tell them tales and stories such as the Tooth Fairy tale, hoping that it will make this experience easier and seamless, it will also encourage them to face their fear by reminding them that they are going to have stronger teeth.
There are some old habits about rituals practiced when children lose their very first tooth, like throwing the tooth towards the sun and repeating kind phrases, these habits will give children reassurance, accept the idea of losing their teeth, and make them sure they will get something better and much stronger than the tooth they lost.
