It is an exciting time for children when one of their teeth finally comes loose. They are expecting a visit from the Tooth Fairy, which poses an interesting question for you as a parent.
Will you just place a coin there in place of the tooth? Or will you go the extra mile to make this a memorable milestone for your child?
By adding in a colorful and creative tooth fairy letter you can spark their imagination. It is fun and very entertaining to imagine a fairy visiting you while you were sleeping – the mystery, the magic and of course, the reward.
All of these elements are quite attractive to the child and it turns an uncomfortable event – losing a tooth, into a more joyous and magical one.
Why Write Tooth Fairy Letters
For busy moms, it might appear that a letter for the tooth fairy is an additional task. But when you think about it, you are actually helping your child celebrate an important event.
A child losing a tooth signifies maturity because in exchange for the tooth that they are losing, it, they are going to receive a permanent and stronger replacement. Aside from that, it keeps the mystery and fun alive.
There are also times when children write to the tooth fairy themselves. There are a number of reasons why a child might do this – lost tooth, price negotiation, swallowed tooth, deformed tooth and many, many more. When a child writes to the tooth fairy, a reply is in order.

How To Write Your Own Tooth Fairy Letters?
If you would prefer to DIY your own letters then we have a few tips for you below.
Prepare Your Materials
You cannot write a letter from the tooth fairy using a plain bond paper. Remember, the keyword here is “fairy.”
There has to be some flair in the letter that you are writing – from the paper that you are using down to the ink that you are using.
Choose papers that are pastel in colors – light blue, lilac, powder blue, and of course, pink – in every shade. As for the ink, try a number of combinations with the paper – lilac paper with pink ink, blue paper pink ink, or pink paper with blue ink.
Don’t forget that fairies “bedazzle” their letters.
Add some more colors and razzle-dazzle. You can sprinkle glitters or even put some drawings on the sides of the letters. You can use markers, colored pens, and even stickers.
Creativity is key (or you can just use one of our printable tooth fairy letters with the nice blue and pink colors).
Words
In composing the letter, you need to release your inner fairy. This usually means the letter needs to be in a friendly and fun tone while exaggerating the emotion your child may be experiencing.
If you don’t have a flair for writing but still want to be creative, just copy the text from one of our tooth fairy letters above and modify to suit your style and personality.
Make It Personal
It is best to make the letter more relatable for your child.
Include their experience losing the tooth – an experience on the dentist chair, or having to pull out their own teeth.
You can also use the letter to remind your child about how to properly take care of their teeth and reinforce positive hygiene habits.
Just don’t let your tooth fairy letter become another nagging voice – it is meant to be fun and exciting remember!
Final Word
A child losing their teeth is another important milestone that is worth celebrating.
Your child is growing fast and their body is changing. Every tooth lost is a milestone and you need to support your child as he undergoes all of these changes.
