Dear Dentella, I need your advice: what do you recommend doing with a supply of baby teeth that were “lost” by two now grownup kids I know well who are not interested in keeping them?
Dentella says: Hello dearest little Susan! I remember collecting your "pearly whites" many years ago. Like Cindy, you wanted to hold on to your children's teeth. Some parents are like that. Typically they find that their grown children hold an opinion like "Oh Mom that's so gross!" Kids! What are you going to do? I would suggest making a lovely charm bracelet and earrings of their teeth and wear them to the next family dinner. They make a delightful clattering sound as you move about.
Dentella says: You are so welcome, my dear! It was my distinct pleasure! Your adorable little "milk teeth" as we used to call them in medieval times are safely stored away on a shelf under the M's in the East Wing of my castle. PS: don't let your big sisters hassle you for getting more per tooth than they did. "A whole QUARTER?!" I can hear Cindy saying. Tsk

Brilliant idea, Dentella! Thank you for taking the time to reply.
Thanks for all the quarters you traded for my teeth, Ms. Floss. 🩷

So funny; my favorite title is “With Teeth”. Hahaha. A bestseller for sure!
