Volume 220 Issue 1, 15 January 2016
'TOOTH FAIRY' TRADITIONS SERIES: THE RIVER
The cover series for volume 220 of the British Dental Journal features original paintings by English artist Thomas Allen which explore the many different 'tooth fairy' traditions around the world.
The cover of this first issue of the series illustrates the use of rivers in some traditions. In Pakistan they throw the lost primary tooth, wrapped in cotton, into a river at sunset and in New Zealand the parents take the tooth and throw it into the Waikato River.
