duckens Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 We are expecting dd6 to lose the first tooth of our household any time. (Two new teeth have come in; nothing has fallen out; nothing is loose.) What do teeth go for these days? Loverboy was just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarahj Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 My DD5 just lost her first tooth last week. I posed the same question on my Facebook wall and the answers varied from 50 cents to $5, but the general consensus was $1.00, so that is what DD received.

Mabeline Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Our boys get one dollar, four quarters, or an IOU depending on what's in my purse. One time my oldest even got a home drawn coupon for a scoop of ice cream. The tooth fairy has a very busy schedule and has forgotten a few times, that earned a trip to 31 flavors.

magnificent_baby Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Depends on how much money the tooth fairy has at the time. ;) Anywhere from $1 to $5. One lucky one got $10 from the tooth fairy that was caught off guard. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil' maids in a row Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I expected to do $1. But my dh beat me to the first tooth and left $5 :svengo: . I look at all those little white babyteeth grinning back at me around here and think the tooth fairy may need to pick up an extra job!

Lisa in SC Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 $5 for the first tooth. $1 for each subsequent tooth. Funny aside, youngest ds had his second loose tooth. At Chili's last night, he ordered corn on the cob as his "side" dish. We were happily chatting and eating when ds says, "excuse me. Dad? Is this a TOOTH in my CORN?!" Well, yes, it was. It was his tooth, stuck in the cob like a kernel. He thought it was hysterical, the manager gave him a special bag to take it home and comped his meal. Plus, he got a dollar. He thought he'd won the lottery! Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lynn Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I wish I knew. Tooth fairy gave dd $1. DD woke up, found the dollar, threw it away and told us that she was mad because the tooth fairy took her tooth. Now we give her a "gold" chocolate coin when her tooth comes out and she keeps her tooth. This makes dd happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giraffe Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 The Tooth Fairy got caught off guard with the first tooth so DD was blessed with a 20 lira note (about $10). Subsequent teeth will probably get a couple of lira coins each. But we both forgot the last tooth. :blush: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Elf Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 When my kids were young, we gave them a book. But we didn't hide it under the pillow. We went to B&N for my child to pick out their book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justamouse Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 If the tooth fairy remembers the first night, 1 dollar. If the tooth fairy takes weeks to remember? three or four dollars. I only blame it on the cat for so long... (the cat is chasing the tooth fairy) There are two things I consistently forget. Tooth Fairy Duty, and a person's Birthday the first thing in the morning. Meaning, I can remind myself all day to get the wings on, and by the time the buggers fall asleep? I'm asleep, too. With the birthdays, I will plan all week, gather groceries, bake the cake, wake up the morning of and TOTALLY not know what day it is.

Ewe Mama Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 The ToothFairy only comes for the very first lost tooth. Each child gets a specially selected gift from the Tooth Fairy that arrives a couple days after the tooth falls out. Gotta love Amazon Prime!

celticmom Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 $1 if pulled by the dentist, $2 if she gets it out herself. The "tooth fairy" initiated this policy after the dentist had to pull one bottom baby toothbecause the adult tooth was coming in behind it and dd wanted all future loose teeth pulled by the dentist.

Tita Gidge Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 The tooth fairy gives a new toothbrush and $5 for the first tooth. After that it's a gold dollar coin per tooth, regardless of condition and how it came out. Like other fairies, she's had to leave an IOU. But she's too cheap to feel guilty and add to the bounty, she figures "better late than never" LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mlktwins Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 My boys get $2 (they like $2 bills) for a tooth lost naturally. They get $5 for each tooth pulled at the dentist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsheresomewhere Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Around here, the tooth fairy still uses the old plan- a dollar for the first tooth, 50 cents for the rest. The last tooth will be five dollars. Apparently, in other households around here the tooth fairy leaves 10-20 bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilaclady Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I gave $1 for the first and 50 cents thereafter. Like someone mentioned up, he hard part is remembering. I have had many a disappointed dd that woke up and found nothing. They were told to go back and make sure after mom had snuck in to do the exchange. They don't believe in the tooth fairy but they like the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenmom5 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I would imagine much would depend upon the tooth fairy's income, as well as the cost of whatever item the recently beraved of tooth has their eye on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbpaulie Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 $5 for the first tooth and $1 "golden" (presidental) dollar after that. (Unless they tell g'ma who then give $20 to the child who lost the tooth and $10 to the other child b/c of course he needs to be included too.... Ah, spoiling g'mas!!!!!) And we sprinkle a little bit of glitter in the child's hair and on their face - fairy dust, of course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeachingTwins Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 $5 for the first tooth, and $1 for remaining teeth. Also, the tooth fairy takes one night off a year -- Christmas Eve.

qtkimi Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 $1 per tooth unless the tooth fairy is caught without any ones or quarters my older DS has gotten a 5 a couple times. My younger has only lost 1 tooth so far and got $1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4kidlets4me Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Whatever the tooth fairy happens to have in her purse or can scrounge from around the house. Our tooth fairy rarely has any cash! Usually between .50 and 1.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
