concept of the Tooth Fairy, but few are privy to the elusive fairy’s history. While most are familiar with how the Tooth Fairy tradition works, there are few who understand where it started and what it signifies. In truth, the evolution of the Tooth Fairy is one with a rich history that spans over centuries and over the world. A brief education in the progression of old traditions into the modern one is both interesting and gives one a deeper understanding of the idea behind the Tooth Fairy. The earliest

Every little kid’s nightmare, the horror story of a tooth fairy! Final tooth, the last to fall out, lay cold, smooth and hard like glass, cold in my clenched fist. Unwrapping my fingers from around it and placing it in the very center of my pillow. Laying my head on the soft pillow, thinking if I could feel a little bump if I pressed my head down hard. Some say that the tooth fairy doesn’t exist. They also say that she isn’t a good fairy either. They say she’s a fleeting wisp of shadow, formless
The Tooth Fairy Around the World In the beginning, there wasn’t a Tooth Fairy, there was a wish. A wish sometimes made by young children and sometimes even loving parents. Interesting enough, the wish was started by a fear, a fear of something very dark and rather morbid. At the start, there wasn’t an expectation that a fairy would come to take the tooth of a child, there was a fear that dark magic and old hag witches would curse a child. The history of the Tooth Fairy started very grim with the

The tooth fairy sprinkles magical sleeping dust upon your slumbering body as you daze from one dream to the next. Although the tooth fairy is small, she has a very big job. Her job entails flying from one house to the next, retrieving children's teeth. “When your six or seven and you lose your first tooth, it marks the beginning of a very simple truth. When it's put beneath your pillow before you go to sleep
I believe that lying to a child about fictional characters, such as: Santa, Easter Bunny, tooth fairy, etc., makes the child enjoy the holiday/event more than if there wasn’t something to believe in. The lies produced by the parents of these children can be confusing and hurtful to the children, but it may also bring out the magic in the holidays. So, how do we know what can happen when we tell these “Little White Lies” to the children we raise? Knowing the “Santa” story can maintain a child’s innocence
Eleven years down the road that kid is either in college or working, and is offered a cigarette. His mother had always told him that smoking was bad for a person’s health but she also told him that the tooth fairy was real. The first thing that will run through his mind is that advertisement he saw at the bus stop one day that had stuck with him all these years. I can almost guarantee that he will turn the cigarette down. He most likely will flash back to
have then they will think lying is bad. Even Though many people don’t like to lie they think white lies are acceptable. Like for example to inspire young children to have a bigger imagination. Like for instance to believe in Santa Clause and the Tooth Fairy. Several reasons have been argued as to why lying may be good or bad. As stated lying is ONLY good in the circumstances of protecting someone’s feelings. As already explained from above that lying is bad because you lose people’s trust. For instance
“Honesty is everything that one does when nobody looks at you” These words that make part of my Mom’s catchy phrases popped- out from my mind as I was waiting to be called. The reason for its retrieval was, a bad habit of mine of taking more than one mint from the free bowl that you can find in the reception counters. In this peculiar case I was waiting to be called for my interview, and interview that was the star-point of the United Space School Program. This interview was the one that decided
The purpose of this research is to critically analyze the various components of forensic anthropology and odontology in order to obtain an accurate understanding of the overall reliability of these disciplines. Research obtained from various sources including, textbook, peer reviewed articles and the National Academy of Sciences Report are examined in an attempt to explain how the field of forensic odontology, more specifically the discipline of bite mark analysis is not considered to be a reliable
Since the implementation of artificially introducing fluoride into water, a great amount of resistance has taken place. Many people claim that fluoridating community water sources can cause not only dental fluorosis, but a multitude of adverse systemic conditions. This perception has led to many political battles on the subject. The problems associated with fluoride ingestion tend to present when concentrations are higher that generally accepted. In communities with natural high fluoride concentrations
leaving no gap between the tooth structure and the restoration.2 According to a study by Stockton et al., “Imperfect bonding leaves a microscopic gap that allows the infiltration of bacteria, fluids, molecules and ions between the restoration and the tooth structure, commonly referred to as micro-leakage.”2 This gap is created by way of composite shrinkage during the process of polymerization, or “from mismatches between either the coefficients of thermal expansion of the tooth and the composite or between
The tooth is the hardest structure in the body, with the strength of enamel exceeding that of bone. If teeth are so tough that they can grind through wood then that begs the question why we keep losing them? It’s nearly inevitable that at some point in life you will lose some of this super tissue just by having a sip on your fizzy. Although it seems that there is a large number of ways for you to lose dental hard tissue, they can be boiled down into to broad mechanisms: Mechanical destruction e.g
Fluoridation Water fights against tooth decay SCH3U1-04 Minjae.Kim In year 1945, Ontario became the first province in Canada to add fluoride in to community water supplies. The idea of fluoridated water can help prevent from tooth decay and cavities; however it was the first time in Canada with providing community water supplies with fluoride in it. The human’s teeth are the hardest substance in the human body and 96% of them are made of minerals called hydroxyapatite (Ca5(PO4)3OH) and when
chemical dissolution of the tooth surface caused by metabolic events taking place in the biofilm (dental plaque) covering the affected area (Fejerskov, Kidd, Nyvad & Baelum, 2012). Carious lesion develops over time due to a complex interaction of bacteria acid and carbohydrate with saliva and teeth (Manton, Drummond & Kilpatrick, 2012). The host factors- teeth, microbes and diet are all interrelated in the oral cavity. The caries process is determined by the quality of tooth and saliva (important role
wine and preserved urine as mouthwash. The earliest records date back to the infamous religious figure Buddha, who supposedly used a “tooth stick” from the God Sakka as part of his own hygiene procedure. “Tooth powder” or toothpaste in the form of powder, was developed during the 19th century. In 1855, the Farmer’s Alamanac cited the ingredients of a common tooth powder, which included honey, green sage, and myrrh. In
Seventy percent of the US population now receives fluoridated drinking water, an industrial grade level chemical most commonly associated with the prevention of tooth decay, and in Virginia especially, 95.7% of all public water is fluoridated (CDC). I present this numbers to your concern because for something that is almost in all public drinking water, it is not informed to the average Virginia citizen, but that is not the primary issue I am addressing you for. My main matter of concern is that
They reduce laceration of soft tissue by separating teeth from soft tissue. Hence, bruising of lips, tongue and cheeks is prevented during the blow. They prevent fracture of the tooth or dislocations by cushioning the teeth from impact by redistributing the force of the blow over all the teeth. Mouthguards stabilize the mandible during traumatic jaw closure. “Mandible is afforded elastic, recuperative support can prevent fracture
whether fresh or salt, have varying levels of fluoride (Awofeso, 2012). Around 1945 it was discovered that communities with higher rates of naturally occurring fluoride had lower rates of tooth decay (Dean, 1938) which resulted in the addition of artificial fluoride to public water supplies. The incidence of tooth decay fell drastically in fluoridated communities as a result, leading to widespread adoption of public water fluoridation as a public health strategy. However this intervention is highly
