RESUMEN

Popular customs with regard to tooth replacement are closely linked to magical ideas. The most important ones--such as throwing the tooth on the roof, giving it to mice or hiding it in different places--occur in places which are very far distant from one another, indicating that these customs originate from ancestral cultures.
