A Dispatch From the Tooth Fairy

A Very Important Message About Your Baby Teeth

restrictions in place and fuss about the virus. Rest assured, we fairies are able to use our fairy dust to safely transport from one place to the other. Our fairy dust also gives us immunity from disease, so we can’t get the virus or transmit it. Thank goodness! We know we have a very important job to do: making sure your baby teeth are safely taken care of and transported back to Fairyland. In return, we leave you with a special thank-you to show you how much we care. This exchange is a rite of childhood, and we don’t take it lightly. The best way you can help us do our jobs is to keep taking care of your teeth. Brush them every day and floss too, and we’ll be so happy to get them when it’s time. Oh, and of course, keep believing in fairies! Too many people stop believing in us as they grow up, and when that happens, we get very, very sad, and some of us even disappear! So, if you ever hear someone start to deny our existence, tell them that you received a message from the Tooth Fairy herself and that you know fairies do indeed exist. –Tooth Fairy

Well, hello! The Livingstons

have graciously allowed me to use this space this month to share a special message with you. Aren’t they wonderful? They make

sure I get the cleanest, healthiest teeth to take back to Fairyland with me. They’re absolutely splendiferous.

Back to the subject at hand (or mouth, as it were). I know some of you have been worried about whether or not I’ll be able to get to you with all the travel
