1, teeth in the sea nest
Haiwo refers to the place where the old wooden door plays a fixed role up and down, which is equivalent to the current hinge. The names of each place are different, some are called Haiwo, some are called Menwo, and some are called Mentou. Put this tooth under the door nest and grind it when you open and close the door, so that the new tooth will be neat.
2. Throw your teeth on the roof and bury them underground.
In some places, the custom is to throw the fallen upper teeth on the roof and bury the lower teeth underground or under the bed. There are many places in this custom, which may be remembered by many people. The reason is that new permanent teeth will grow neatly and quickly. However, now that there are high-rise buildings everywhere, it is not so easy to throw your upper teeth on the roof.
