For the children Write a letter to the tooth fairy about how they are looking after their mouths, including their favourite tooth-friendly foods. If they aren't sure what tooth-friendly foods are, there are some examples on this page. For the tooth fairy (you!) Use our tooth fairy letter template and tooth fairy certificate to write your response letter, or create your own from scratch if you are feeling creative. In your response, focus on congratulating the children on their brushing and on their tooth-friendly foods. Print and distribute them to your children or classroom. If you want to give your class a reward from the tooth fairy, we sell lots of goody bag items in our online shop. Send us photos of their lovely letters - we adore seeing them! Email them to us using [email protected] or tag us in the photos on social media.
