Tooth Traditions around the world.

This is about different cultures have their own teeth tradition.  
English and Aboriginals have the  common tooth traditions.  Both cultures believe in tooth fairy. .  Kids who are English or Aboriginals, put their tooth under the pillow at night time.  Next morning the tooth is gone and the lucky person will get a money.  


Spanish kids also put their loose teeth under their pillow. This is really funny but did you know that Spanish kids believe in a little mouse name Ratoncito Perez. That is really weird for me because who will believe that a little mouse will exchange a tooth  for a lolly or money.


Afghanistan has no belief in tooth fairies. When a child  loses a tooth they throw it into a rat or mouse hole.  They do believe that the rats need it to make their teeth nice and strong.  To be honest, I think that’s a little bit crazy.


I had no idea but in Korea, children throw their teeth on top of their roof and sing a song that goes like this, “Blackbird, blackbird my old tooth I give to you. Bring me a new tooth”.  I really don’t believe in any of this because while you growing up, you know that you will have new teeth.


Basically, many culture use their tooth for a reason.  Like to exchange for money or lollies, or probably throw it onto the roof for a new adult teeth like some culture. According to web, most child might lose their primary teeth when they are 6, to have some space for the permanent teeth.
