My coming to 7yo gal only dropped the 2 front lower teeth so far. Both dropped out only last Dec but the permanent teeth were already out by then.

Just wondering if keeping baby milk teeth in album will rot? Like few years down, will the teeth kept be safe from the insects, turn yellowish and rot. Not very sure whether I want to get one of those album keep my baby's teeth.

The teeth can't rot, at most turn yellow. No saliva and sugar to "feed" the bacteria. Anyway, I wash them 1st before I keep in the album.

My mom kept our sets of baby teeth wrapped in tissue and placed in a box and 20+ years down the road, they still look ok.
 
I know of someone who's kid had to go under GA for tooth extraction and he was not yet 2 years old. Reason being he didn't like toothbrush in his mouth so didn't brush his teeth... ???
