With great power comes great responsibility. There are many super heroes that believe in that code. Now that I realized my true calling in life as a super hero I will adopt that statement as my mantra.

Growing up I wore a red cape and flew around my house pretending I was Superman. There were times that I would dress up all in black and protect the good people of Gotham as the caped crusader. One year I got the Wolverine claws for my birthday and I immediately transformed into Weapon X to fight alongside the X-Men.

As you can tell like most other kids I wanted to grow up to be a super hero. Littletoothman did I know that I would not choose my calling, but it would seek me out. Just as Tinker Bell’s talent called out to her in her origins movie appropriately named “Tinker Bell,” I was chosen to become the purveyor of teeth.

How did I become the tooth fairy you might ask? Well it happened yesterday when my oldest, Lily lost her first two baby teeth. She is five years old. The bottom two front teeth were getting pushed out by her adult teeth. We had to take her to the dentist for teeth extractions. The pediatric dentist las vegas nv pulled out the two teeth, with the help of tooth extraction services that  the clinic offered, since they were not coming out on their own, no matter how much Lily tugged at them. You can find out more about Eccella Smiles tooth extraction process if your little one also needs to have their tooth pulled out.

As we left the dentist Lily couldn’t wait until bedtime since she knew she would be getting a visit from the tooth fairy. Last night as my wife and I put our daughters to bed, we put Lily’s two teeth in a little pink treasure chest that was given to us by her dentist in ogden. Lily was so giddy that is seemed like it was Christmas Eve night. Lily even left a “Tangled” sticker and an apple for the tooth fairy near her bed. I wondered if she would even be able to go to bed with all the excitement. We shut off the lights, kissed our kids, and left their room. teethbox

My wife and I talked about how we would approach this landmark moment. We decided to go with a dollar per tooth, but they happen often so we also went to the dentist using professionals like Dentist In Huntington Beach that specialize in this. I would go into the room at night and deliver the goods. So this is when my alter ego emerged from the depths of my soul. I didn’t have wings that fairy stories of yore depicted. It was just me searching for two little teeth.

Luckily the little pink treasure chest was still in the same place Lily placed it when she went to bed. I took the apple, sticker, and most importantly the teeth. Now came the hard part. I had to sneak the money under her pillow without disturbing her slumber. This is where the stealth part of my tooth fairy powers came to light. I was able to slip the money under the pillow without waking Lily. SUCCESS! My first mission went off without a hitch.

It might not be fighting crime in the dark streets of Gotham, but now I have a responsibility to both kids and parents all around the world. I have to make sure that I honor the very important milestone of children losing their teeth. It is also possible to save a lot of money on dental treatment by using dentists that are in other countries, that have much lower fees. There is a wonderful dentist in Tijuana who I have used in the past and are just incredible with much lower prices, so it really pays to research into this.

So far as the tooth fairy I found out a few interesting tidbits from joining this “League of Super Heroes.” One is that Santa Claus is not a fan cookies, he prefers chocolate. The Easter Bunny is a prankster and Bigfoot makes an excellent Chicken Marsala.

I never sought out to be the Tooth Fairy, but it happened. I will embrace my duties and make sure that I uphold the standards set by the fairies before me. When I see the signal in the night sky I will go out and fulfil my destiny, for I am the purveyor of teeth. I am the enamel knight. I AM THE TOOTH FAIRY!
