The shedding of teeth is an important moment in a child’s life. It is one of those milestones that we all must pass through, like puberty and sexual maturation. An important milestone, a step closer to becoming an adult. It is thus hardly surprising that different cultures have different ways of dealing with these teeth, but all cultures seem to agree that these teeth are significant. Most cultures have some kind of creature that takes these teeth away, and gives rewards for kids when they do.

Budapest apparently lends itself super well to any kind of time frame you wanna work with; we have Roman ruins, Medieval castles, buildings form the 20s and 40s, not to mention tons and tons of Austro-Hungarian Monarchy era buildings as well.
