When she answers, pick the message that fits: my first lost tooth, I lost a tooth, or I just had a dental check-up.
The hotline is free and toll-free. It’s a recorded message run by Delta Dental of Washington, not by The Kid’s Place. Kids, ask a grown-up before you call!

Just Lost a Tooth? Care Tips
- Rinse with water. A gentle swish is all it needs.
- A little blood is normal. Bite gently on clean gauze or a damp washcloth for a few minutes.
- Keep brushing. Brush as usual, gently around the empty spot.
- Eat normally once any bleeding stops; softer foods may feel better that day.
- Peek for the new tooth. Grown-up teeth can take a few weeks or months to show up.
- Call us if bleeding won’t stop, the gum looks swollen, or a piece of tooth seems left behind.
Tooth knocked out in an accident? Call us right away at (830) 239-5411. Don’t put a baby tooth back in. For a permanent tooth, hold it by the top, keep it in milk, and get to a dentist fast.

After a Tooth Is Pulled
Always follow the instructions our team gave you. For most kids, the first day looks like this:
- Bite on the gauze we gave you to help stop the bleeding. Some pink in the spit is normal for the rest of the day.
- Watch the numb lip and cheek. Kids may chew or rub them without noticing until the numbness wears off.
- Soft, cool foods like yogurt, applesauce and smoothies (with a spoon) are best that day.
- No straws, hard spitting or rinsing hard for the first day so the spot can heal.
- Brush gently that night, avoiding the spot itself.
- For soreness, use only the pain reliever and dose our team recommended for your child.
Call us at (830) 239-5411 if bleeding doesn’t slow down, or if pain, swelling or fever gets worse.
Tooth Fairy Questions
Is there really a phone number to call the Tooth Fairy?
Yes. The Tooth Fairy hotline, 1-833-FAIRY-WA (1-833-324-7992), is a free, toll-free line with recorded messages from the Tooth Fairy for a first lost tooth, any lost tooth, or a dental check-up. It is run by Delta Dental of Washington, not by The Kid's Place.
What should I do when my child loses a baby tooth?
Have your child rinse with water. If there is a little bleeding, have them bite gently on clean gauze or a damp washcloth for a few minutes. Keep brushing as usual, gently around the spot. Call us if bleeding doesn't stop or the area looks swollen.
What if a tooth is knocked out in an accident?
Call us right away at (830) 239-5411. Do not put a knocked-out baby tooth back in. If it is a permanent (adult) tooth, hold it by the top, not the root, rinse it briefly if dirty, keep it in milk, and get to a dentist as fast as possible.
How do I care for my child after a tooth is pulled?
Follow the instructions our team gave you. In general: bite on gauze to stop bleeding, eat soft, cool foods that day, avoid straws and hard spitting, and watch that your child doesn't chew a numb lip or cheek. Call us if bleeding, pain or swelling gets worse.
Is It Time for a Check-Up?
Losing baby teeth is a great time for a visit. Dr. Wilkerson checks that grown-up teeth are coming in where they should.
