It is a custom in my country, Turkey to celebrate the arrival of first tooth/teeth of new born babies. On this special day, we invite our friends/relatives to our homes or outside for a party. There is some special food to deliver, but it also became popular to hand out cookies in shape of tooth & toothbrush to the guests.
We also east some special food made of wheat. Difficult to say, I think it is boiled. And then, we serve it either salty or sweet, with ingredients. Those who prefer it sweet, add on top of it, chocolate or some fruits or dried fruits, nuts etc.
These cookies were quickly prepared for such a celebration party for a baby girl.
with the hope that she will have no pain while delivering her teeth, and that she will brush her teeth minimum three times a day 🙂
Thanks for sharing about the celebrating of the first tooth. Its always interesting to learn about other cultures and their tradition and celebrations.

Thanks Erika…I certainly agree with you but babies are always a reason to celebrate-with any first thing they do, dont you think so 🙂
