Tooth traditions vary widely around the world, often reflecting cultural beliefs about childhood and luck. In many Western countries, children place lost teeth under their pillows for the Tooth Fairy, who exchanges them for money or small gifts. In contrast, in Spain and some Latin American countries, the tradition involves a mouse, known as "Ratoncito Pérez," who takes the tooth and leaves a gift. In parts of Asia, such as in some cultures in India, children may throw their lost teeth onto the roof or under the floor, believing this will encourage the growth of strong, healthy adult teeth.
