We are clinicians and researchers in the fields of dentistry and mental health across Canada including Dal/IWK/UoT. We are conducting a research project, called ToothFairy, which is approved by ethics Board.

Parents are eligible to participate in this study if their child is:

aged 5-17 years old, and
with a fallen-out or removed baby tooth that they want to share.

All parents are welcome to join: We recruit parents of children without AND/OR with developmental conditions (ASD, ADHD, etc).

Instead of the tooth going in the bin, you can choose to share the tooth for a study looking at the link between mental and dental health. Participation involves a) sharing the tooth by dropping it off to one of our sites or mailing it, and b) completing a 15-minute online survey. As a thank-you, you will receive a gift card.

Thank you very much!
