My daughter has lost 5 teeth now and has pretty much hit every tooth loss scenario possible--or at least, she is really trying to! She has swallowed one, lost one at school and could not find it, and just lost two on our Spring Break trip.
Dealing with these situations takes some quick thinking. When my daughter swallowed her tooth, we had her draw a picture of the tooth for the Tooth Fairy. We placed the picture under her pillow. When she lost one at school and was unable to find it, she drew a picture for the Tooth Fairy and wrote a letter to her telling her where she would most likely find it.
The teeth that she lost on our trip posed two different situations. The first one, she lost during the middle of the trip. She actually lost it when we were in transition moving from our location in New Jersey to a new location in Pennsylvania. I had her put the tooth in a plastic bag so we would not lose it and told her that the Tooth Fairy could find her anywhere. I reminded her to put it under her pillow that night.
