In the past, rural children would throw their teeth on the roof when they lost their teeth. Are these teeth still there?

We all know that in the past, houses in rural areas were generally tiled houses, which means that a layer of tiles was usually built on the roof.

I remember when I was seven or eight years old, we usually replaced our teeth frequently. Sometimes the teeth were loose but stuck to the flesh, so I didn’t dare to pull them out directly, but it was very uncomfortable if they were stuck on, so I couldn’t help but use them.

Just break it off with your hand.

Then every time I broke off my teeth, I felt like the blood wouldn't stop flowing, and my mouth was filled with the smell of blood.

Each time, the teeth did not fall out naturally, but were pulled out by my hands.

Every time I pulled out a tooth, I basically threw it under the bed. There was only one time when I accidentally dropped a tooth while brushing my teeth outside. At that time, I threw the tooth on the roof.

But I found that the only time I threw a tooth on the roof, the tooth that grew out of that place was very small, obviously much smaller than the teeth next to it. I have always wondered if it was because of that time I threw the tooth.

Because it was on the roof, the back of the teeth grew very small.

Because every time I had my teeth replaced, I would throw them under the bed. After throwing them under the bed, the teeth would grow very neatly without any problems. It was just that I threw the teeth on the roof.

The teeth are so small, I really don’t know why.

Later, when a new house was built and the factory moved out, I discovered that the teeth that had been thrown under the bed were still there and very intact. So I was curious and collected these teeth. Now

It's still in my cupboard at home.

However, I believe that if children lose their teeth, adults generally will not do this. Nowadays, when children change teeth, they usually wait until the teeth fall out naturally, and will not directly pull them out by hand, because there are too many bacteria on the hands. If you pull them out like this

, can easily lead to infection.

We didn't understand this when we were children, so we would pull the teeth out directly because of discomfort. This is actually a very dangerous thing and can easily leave safety hazards.

I don’t know if you have such a statement over there?

The teeth that fall out when children change their teeth should be thrown under the bed or on top of the house. Welcome to leave a message below to discuss.

I am Sister Rong, from Shijiazhuang Village, Hebei Province. When Sister Rong had her teeth replaced when she was a child, if the lower teeth fell out, my mother would let me throw them on the roof of the house. If the upper teeth fell out, my mother would let me throw them on the roof.

I threw them on the door pillars on both sides of the house door.

Why do we do this?

Were the teeth still there afterward?

Now Sister Rong will explain it clearly.

What does it mean when the lower teeth are thrown to a high place and the upper teeth are thrown to the ground?

I remember when I was little, when my mother asked me to throw my teeth like this, I asked her what she meant. She said: Throwing the top teeth down means that the top teeth will grow downward faster.

Throwing the lower teeth on top means that the lower teeth grow upward. In short, it means to make the teeth grow faster.

Later, I had a son, and I told him this when his teeth were changing.

Are those teeth still there afterward?

The teeth on the roof can no longer be found as the snow on the roof is cleared every year.

And the teeth on the door pillars no longer exist as the house and yard are cleaned.

Although these teeth no longer exist, those memories from my childhood have always remained in my heart.

Although these old sayings also have beautiful meanings, people now believe in science more.

Nowadays, when the neighbor’s children have their teeth changed, more often they go to the doctor.

Doctors will also tell children not to touch the teeth with their hands when their teeth are being replaced, because there will be bacteria on their hands. Just let the teeth fall off on their own, so that after the teeth are replaced, a new pair will grow.

Teeth, and very straight teeth.

I want to tell the questioner here that our customs are a bit different. When we were young, our baby teeth were wrapped in paper by our grandma. The lower teeth were placed on the gatehouse, and the upper teeth were placed under the door.

The wooden block that can rotate the door is called "door rotor".

The gatehouse is the doorframe of farmhouses in the past. They were all made of wood. There was a beam above the door with a small window on it.

This beam is the gatehouse among rural people.

No one has cared about these teeth since then. They must have been cleaned away during the house cleaning every New Year.

There are old people's teeth. If the old ones are loose, they will be pulled out and stored in a bottle with salt water. After the old man has passed a hundred years, his children and grandchildren will put these teeth in a coffin to sleep with the old man.

The implication is that the elderly will not be missing teeth in the next life and have good teeth.
