More proof that my dentist is awesome: He just left me a comment in FB that if I need a hole drilled in the tooth that was extracted so I can turn it into a charm, he'll do that for me.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

AWESOME.
I know! But I think I'm going to mount it in a locket on a bed of velvet. If I can get it cleaned up to a condition I like. (Part of the reason it cracked was a huge cavity, and I don't exactly want to have that discoloration on display.)
But yes, I am planning on making jewelry out of my tooth.
I love your dentist.

Better than stashing them in jewelry box like my mom did with our baby teeth.
Oh lord yes.

I'll admit, I was really surprised not to find my baby teeth when we were going through my mom's things. I would have liked to have them.
Our baby teeth got thrown out somewhere. Once my parents said "Fine, there is no tooth fairy, you keep it" I hoarded them myself in a little wooden treasure chest.
And then we moved five million times, and no more teethsies. Sad.
Mom had little locks of hair of ours, too.
I was tempted to keep that stuff with my kids, but then I realized if I wasn't going to display it or use it (like in jewelry), why bother. I kept some of their baby clothes instead, one or two outfits from each that were well loved and used, and really remind me of them at that age.
We found a bunch of mine, mostly rattling around at the bottom of my mom's jewelry boxes. I did not have any urge to hang on to them.
