Tooth Tradittions Around The World

Tooth Tradition

All around the world, there are many tooth traditions and I really want to know some because some tooth traditions are  interesting and some are funny. Instead of putting your teeth under your pillow you could do other things with your teeth.

Malaysia :

Malaysian kids bury their teeth in the ground with soil. They believe that the teeth is a part of their body so it will come back to earth.

Egypt:

Egyptian kids wrap their tooth in a tissue and then they go outside and throw it at the sun. They throw at the sun because they are asking the sun to give them a brides tooth and take their buffalo tooth. A brides teeth is a beautiful set of teeth. A buffalo teeth is a nasty set of teeth.

Sweden:

Swedish children put their tooth in a glass of water. In the morning a coin will mysteriously takes place of the tooth in the glass of water.

Pakistan:

Kids in Pakistan wrap their tooth in some cotton and then they go outside when the sun sets. Then they go to a nearby river and throw it for good luck.

Burma:

Burmese kids take their tooth and then they go outside with their parents and they close their eyes and say a poem that goes like this

Mouse , Mouse wherever you are please take my tooth and give me back a royal tooth in return. Then they throw it . Their parents will tell them that the mouse will come and take it and give him/her a royal tooth.

Thats all the tooth traditions I picked . There are many more tooth traditions. My favourite tooth tradition was the Pakistan one. I liked that one because I like how the kids have to throw it when the sun sets.
