The twenty baby teeth
The kit includes a printed version of this chart with room to write when each tooth came out and which letter arrived. Here it is for reference, with the ages teeth usually go. Yours will go when they go.
| Letter | Tooth | Usually comes out | Usual order |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | Upper right second molar | age 10-12 | 19 |
| B | Upper right first molar | age 9-11 | 11 |
| C | Upper right canine | age 10-12 | 15 |
| D | Upper right lateral incisor | age 7-8 | 7 |
| E | Upper right central incisor | age 6-7 | 3 |
| FA word from the firefly. The fairies have put in a complaint. Swap F and N and the first four teeth would spell OPEN, which is exactly what a mouth does. Nobody has written back. It is making my light go funny. | Upper left central incisor | age 6-7 | 4 |

| H | Upper left canine | age 10-12 | 16 |
| I | Upper left first molar | age 9-11 | 12 |
| J | Upper left second molar | age 10-12 | 20 |
| K | Lower left second molar | age 10-12 | 17 |
| L | Lower left first molar | age 9-11 | 9 |
| M | Lower left canine | age 9-12 | 13 |
| N | Lower left lateral incisor | age 7-8 | 5 |
| O | Lower left central incisor | age 6-7 | 1 |

Letters A to T follow the Universal numbering system dentists use for primary teeth. The highlighted four are the front teeth that almost always go first.
Did one of these come out in a special way?
On the swing, in the pool, halfway through a doughnut, on the first day of school. Pick the tooth above and tell the fairies what happened. Your fairy writes a one-off letter about that tooth and that day, posted to your child with a real stamp, or sent to you for the pillow.
$14, any kit or none, any tooth, any time.
