QUESTION:

In the old days, what did the Chinese do when they lost their baby teeth?
a) Wait for the tooth fairy.
b) Put the teeth under a tea jar.
c) Bury all the teeth.
d) Bury the bottom teeth, and put the top teeth on the roof of their house.
e) Sell their teeth to homeopathic barefoot doctors.

ANSWERS:
a) Yes, but only if Santa Claus was also Chinese. "Jingle JOZI, Jingle JOZI..JOZI all the way!"
b) No, that would only make the jar unclean, and they wouldn't want dirty teacups, now would they?
c) So close, yet so far.
d) Exactly. Now you know a dental oddity to tell your hometown dentist. The "hiding the teeth" ritual was a game for kids based on a long gone superstition of Earth and Heaven. Another dental oddity, is the common curbside teeth care. The outdoor dentist/barbers are cheap and friendly, but also a little frightening. But it's your teeth, so be my guest.
e) Not really. This may be true in rare cases, but it is not the norm. Try again.
