About The Tooth Exchange Bureau
SPOILER ALERT!
THIS PAGE IS FOR PARENTS!
The Tooth Exchange Bureau organization is pure fiction, and our website is a just-for-fun place where we’d like to think we’re helping you, the parent or guardian, create an enjoyable and memorable way to celebrate with your child when they lose a tooth. Any similarity to any real secret agent type of organization is totally awesome but also unexpected and completely coincidental. Enjoy the site, it’s here just for fun!
Here’s how it really works.
When you sign up, you’ll select an email address to receive the communications from “your agent”. Every time your child uses the portal, a custom message will be sent out from this website to that address. It can be your email address or your child’s, it’s totally up to you to decide how you’d like them to receive their communication. For each and every tooth that’s lost, there’s a special unique letter. For some of them that are extra special (like the first and the last), there’s a special badge to go along with that letter. Your child will love the process!
You get to decide how that letter gets delivered. If you want to print it out and put it under the pillow along with some money the traditional way, have the letters sent to your email address so you can print them out. NOTE: we do not send you any money, that part is still up to you! If you want the email to just come to your child directly, enter their email address. You can even decide to just have them read the message here at The Tooth Exchange Bureau in their membership page!
Here’s what we do:
Provide a website that offers a fun and interactive experience for your child when they lose a tooth.
Send customized emails, certificates and badges to the email address you specify when you register.
Allow you to give your child their own login to the site. Their login will only allow them to access the home page and their members-only page, offering a safe and spoiler-free online environment for your child.
Here’s what we DO NOT do:
Give you money for your child’s tooth. If you want your child to receive money for their tooth, we think that’s awesome! It just isn’t going to come from us.
Send you anything in the mail. All of our communications are 100% digital.
Put anything under your child’s pillow. That part is 100% on you!

Want to know more about our history?
+We thought the Tooth Fairy needed a little competition.
Let’s face it, choice is important. We love to choose our favorite flavors, channels, teams, pretty much everything. So when our child loses a tooth, how come there’s the Tooth Fairy, and then nothing else?
We thought a little competition was in order. So in a moment of inspiration, the concept of the Tooth Exchange Bureau was born!
Now that our own children are older, we thought we’d share the concept in case anyone else was out there looking for options. We hope you enjoy it as much as we have!
The Tooth Exchange Bureau website was born because of a squeaky floor.
When my children were growing up, I used to swap teeth for money underneath that pillow just like you’re thinking of doing, and most of the time it worked great. It was super stressful and I almost got caught multiple times, but I still enjoyed it. Until...the squeaky floor. See, when we changed bedrooms around and our daughters began sleeping in the room with the super squeaky floors, it only took one time of nearly getting caught with my hand under the pillow to decide that something had to be done about this process.
Presenting The Tooth Exchange Bureau Online Tooth Redemption Portal! Super easy to use, totally fun for your kids, and if you’re like me and you’ve got squeaky floors, it gives you options other than getting caught putting the money under the pillow!
Looking for suggestions and creative ways to use our website? Here they are!
+If you want to...
Have your child put their tooth under their pillow and find money the next morning:
We call this “The Old Fashioned”. It’s the way it’s always been done, and it’s always a hit. If you’re going to rock it old school, have the communication sent to you, print it out, put it in an envelope along with your own money contribution, and make the midnight swap. We hope your floors are quieter than ours were!
Have your child get their letter in their mailbox:
This is the way our family got around our extra squeaky floors before the website idea. It also helps you avoid sticky questions about how the Agent got into their room and why you think that’s OK! Have your child put their tooth in an envelope and place it in your mailbox in the evening. Then, sneak out there and take it out so your mail carrier doesn’t get surprised by it! Again, have the letters sent to your email address, print them out, add some money, wait until the mail carrier has delivered for the day and then add your envelope to the mail. It’s a fun twist on the Old Fashioned approach and it can be just as much fun.
Skip the cash and go digital:
We get it! Not everything has to be about money. If you’d like to skip the financial part of the process, and your child has their own email address (or if you just want them to read it in their membership page), you may elect to have the messages sent directly to them. The emails delivered right to them might even add to the “realness” of The Tooth Exchange Bureau and can be super exciting to receive.
Mix and match, or create something totally new!
Want to combine a couple options above? Have an even better idea? Once the email is in your box, you can do whatever you want with the letters. If you come up with a fantastic new way to deliver the letters and you’d like to share it with others, send us an email with your idea!
