Question:
Ok my daughter lost her first tooth and I want to save it and put it in her scrap book how do I go about it.?
Answers:
I did a bit of research into this and based on some information I found I came across the following:
"Protocol for preserving the extracted teeth:
To disinfect the teeth, dilute household bleach in 1:5 (1 part bleach + 4 parts water) and soak for 2-3 days. "
2. Keep the teeth in a mixture of following solution: 2 parts of bleach + 3 parts of glycerin (from cvs or Walgreen) + 5 parts of water.
I bought the glycerine at the drug store, it was in the facial products area--apparently used as a skin softener. It keeps the teeth from becoming brittle. It worked well and I had no problems with brittle teeth, but heard of others' teeth fracturing and chipping."
I would use this as a guide for your daughter's tooth and then apply a sealant (you could get this from an art shop).
Also note, the enamel on teeth has a tendency to
crack. Avoid subjecting the teeth to rapid temperature
changes, such as placing a cold tooth in very hot
water. If teeth do crack, especially canines, fill the
cracks with a clear drying glue.
Once it is all prepared you can then get one of those little clear 'boxes' that go on a scrapbook page for keepsakes.
Here is an example page of a first tooth page as well - http://www.scrapbookmemoriestv.com/proje...
