Baby tooth under the pillow
In the old days, people didn't put their teeth under their pillows. They threw it behind the stove so that the mouse would take it and bring back a new, strong one. Over the years, folk signs from other countries have also penetrated into Russian life. As a result, many children put their baby tooth under their pillow for the tooth fairy or mouse.
Many people believe in the superstition that if you throw a baby tooth out from under the pillow away from home when your baby falls asleep, his teeth will grow strong and won’t hurt. Some parents put small nice gifts instead of a tooth for their baby, believing that such a gesture will attract various good events into their lives.
Why store baby teeth?
The therapeutic use of stem cells has attracted great interest in the medical field. It has been a slow but steady journey from laboratories to clinics, but it is certainly one of the most important. A specific area of research is the integration of stem cells in the development of life-saving drugs. For example, cancer cell lines are used to screen potential anticancer drugs. Using stem cells, scientists can test new drugs on a wider variety of cells. From one baby tooth you can get up to 20 stem cells.

But often the demand is greater than the supply. Thanks to stem cell therapy, those working in the medical field have a new alternative way to treat diseases such as spinal cord injury, stroke, heart disease and diabetes.
Scissors under the pillow
People have long considered scissors to be an object that has special properties that can be used to their advantage. One of the most common superstitions about scissors is that if you put them under your pillow, you won’t have nightmares at night. The thing is that scissors can “cut off” all the negativity and provide the sleeper with the opportunity to get a good night’s sleep.
If you put open scissors under your pillow, they can heal a person from any disease or ailment. They also help get rid of damage or the evil eye. In the old days, before carrying out such a ritual, scissors were sprinkled with holy water and salted.
Scissors were also placed under the pillow for babies (naturally, in such a way that they would not get hurt). This was done in order to relieve the child of anxiety and various ailments. Also, scissors served as a protective amulet for the baby against the evil eye and strangers.
What does the tooth fairy like?
First, let's take a look at the directory of magical creatures and see who this mysterious tooth fairy is? Here we read:
“The tooth fairy is a magical creature from 8 to 10 cm in height; it moves long distances with the help of small wings similar to the wings of a dragonfly. She looks like a little girl with very white and healthy teeth, which is how she got her job. Well, the job of the tooth fairies is to keep track of which children have beautiful and healthy teeth and which ones don’t. If you hide a lost tooth under your pillow, the tooth fairy will take it away. And if she likes the tooth, she will leave money or something interesting as a gift. Tooth fairies have only one day off a year - Christmas, since work on this day is prohibited for them. If the tooth fairy takes a child's tooth at Christmas, she will be fired."
From the Handbook of Magical Creatures.
Once upon a time there lived Masha and Sasha. Mom and dad loved them very much and considered them the best children in the world. Masha and Sasha were smart and cheerful, they could always figure out what to do and how to have fun. Parents made sure that their children were clean and tidy, washed their hands, brushed their teeth in the morning and evening. They gave Masha and Sasha gifts, especially when the children behaved well and were not capricious.
Masha and Sasha had a friend Vitya. The guys were friends, walked on the street with Khrumka - that was the name of Vitya’s dog. They nicknamed her Khrumka because she loved everything crunchy, especially candy labels.
One day Vitya came to visit his friends and said: “Let’s go outside and buy ice cream, the tooth fairy brought me money.”
Masha and Sasha loved ice cream very much, but this time they didn’t think about it at all. They were thinking about who the tooth fairy was. They ate ice cream often, even a lot. But the tooth fairy has never been seen. But still they went with Vitya, although they ate the ice cream without interest. Then Masha asked: “How do you know that it was the tooth fairy who brought you the money, maybe your mom and dad put it in?”
To which Vitya replied: “Mom and dad told me that the tooth fairy takes pity on children whose healthy teeth fall out.” And leaves money or a gift for the tooth, which should be placed under the pillow. At night the fairy will take the tooth. That's what I did, I just lost one yesterday.
It must be said that Vitya, unlike Masha and Sasha, very rarely ate sweets. Vitya’s mom and dad are dentists; they really don’t like foods that are harmful to teeth. Vitya’s parents especially do not like ice cream (cold is harmful to teeth), sweets (especially lollipops - they are hard, you can break a tooth), fizzy lemonade (fizzes and ruins teeth), cakes and pastries (harmful not only for teeth, but also for everything else - you will be like a bun if you eat them often). Therefore, Vitya has healthy teeth and a correct bite (not a bite!).
And Masha and Sasha had, as their mother said, “a complete problem” with their teeth. Despite the fact that they brushed their teeth several times every day, they still remained not entirely healthy. More precisely, not healthy at all. “It’s all from sweets,” my mother lamented.
But the children could not help themselves, they loved sweets. But Vitya loved other foods: milk, cottage cheese, nuts, apples and pears, vegetables, salad and much more that small children usually do not like. But Vitya had real milk teeth - white. His parents always said: “Eat, these are very healthy foods for your teeth and health.” Needless to say, Masha and Sasha envied Vita. It's very interesting to receive a gift from a real fairy!
The excited children went home, and in order to take their minds off thoughts about fairies, Masha began gnawing on lollipops. One, two, three, when suddenly: - Oh, oh, oh! - she screamed. - My tooth is broken! Masha showed Sasha a lost tooth. “Now we can also put the tooth under the pillow and see what happens in the morning.”
That's what we decided. Masha really wanted to see what the tooth fairy looked like, but still she couldn’t wait for her to come - sleep came first.
When the children woke up in the morning, the first thing they did was turn over their pillow. But to their surprise, the tooth remained under it. And next to them they found a note that said: “Unfortunately, your tooth is very sick, so I can’t take it away - it gave me a headache!” The note was signed: "Star the Tooth Fairy."
The children were very upset. How to make the fairy take the tooth? And what do tooth fairies like? What tooth does she need? And where can I get a new one?
All day Masha and Sasha thought and looked for answers. In the evening, when they were getting ready to go to bed, Sasha discovered that one of his teeth was shaking. Gathering all his courage and courage, he pulled it harder, and the tooth fell off. Sasha immediately called Masha, and they were surprised to discover that under the old tooth a new one, very small and white, was growing.
This time the children decided to wait at all costs for the fairy to come for the tooth. They put him under the pillow again and pretended to sleep. They really wanted to sleep, but they pushed each other when one of them began to nod off. I really wanted to know what the tooth fairy looked like. It was unpleasant to look into the darkness, but Sasha moved the lamp on the table closer so that he could immediately turn it on if something happened.
And late at night, Sasha felt that someone was crawling under his pillow. He pushed Masha and immediately turned on the lamp. The children were surprised to see a cute little fairy. She was the size of a hamster who lived in a corner of wildlife in a kindergarten. But that's where the similarities ended. The fairy was dressed in a beautiful dress. She had a cute bow on her head. But most importantly, iridescent wings grew behind her back.
The fairy looked reproachfully at the children and said: “Well, why aren’t you sleeping?”
The children were surprised and could not utter a word. — Well-mannered children say hello, especially when they see someone for the first time. - Hello, Aunt Fairy! - said the children. - Sorry to bother you. But we really want to know why you didn’t take Mashin’s tooth!
- Oh, this... Is it really possible to bring your teeth to such a state? Look for yourself, the tooth has clearly suffered from sweets. Here it was rubbed off by the candy, and here there will soon be a hole. And here, just look, caries! My head is just cracking from such tortured teeth! — the fairy got excited. — It’s obvious that you often have sweets for breakfast, and prefer chocolate for dinner! – she continued sternly.
“But we clean them every day, even twice!” - the children were surprised. “Of course, you need to brush your teeth, but no brush will help if,” the fairy began to bend her fingers.
- There are as many sweets as you eat! — Rarely change toothbrushes! - Refuse normal breakfast, lunch and dinner! — There are few vegetables and fruits, milk and dairy products! - Be afraid of the dentist! - Distract yourself while eating with cartoons!
- But why? - the children asked. — Now you have milk teeth that have already begun to fall. This is called changing teeth. It happens once in the life of all people. Permanent teeth, like baby teeth, need to be taken great care of. If their teeth are bad, children get sick much more often, which means they drink bitter medicine and get sick injections. Dental health depends on you. Look at Vitya - he has a very beautiful smile. And if you don’t take care of your teeth, it will only get worse!
— You need to train your teeth - eat raw vegetables and fruits, apples, chew nuts, carrots. They are full of vitamins and minerals that every tooth in your mouth needs. — You can brush your teeth in the morning, after lunch and in the evening, before going to bed.
Sasha and Masha realized that they didn’t do much of this. That's why the fairy didn't need the tooth. The fairy was kind, she immediately realized that these children just love sweets, but they obey mom and dad and behave well. So she said:
- You are good kids. Sometimes angry and capricious children try to catch me in a jar. Then I put a spell on their teeth, and they spend a long time having them treated at the dentist. You are not like that, so here are your gifts. And give me your teeth - I’ll take them to the tooth fairy museum.
Immediately, two boxes with toys for Sasha and Masha appeared on the bed. The children happily began to thank the fairy: “Thank you!” Thank you! - Please! - she said and turned to fly away.
“Wait,” said Masha. -What do you love most? The fairy smiled and flew away. The children looked after her for a long time and did not believe that all this was really happening. Do you know what the tooth fairy loves most? The answer is healthy teeth!
