Tooth Fairy? How Much For A Lost Tooth?

[ElkNut1]

I know things are different than when I was a kid but wow I had no idea the Tooth Fairy was so generous these days! (grin) When I was a lad you hoped to get .25 for a lost tooth sometimes it was only a nickel & I was happy to get that! I hear these days that kids are getting 5.00 to 10.00 per tooth lost!!! Wow!

How much did you get when you were a kid or how much do you now give your kids (under pillow) when a tooth is lost?

I have a 2 and a 5 year old no lost teeth yet. I'm thinking a quarter is good, but the wife is thinking a little more, I hope not more than a buck. Maybe I well make it one of those gold Sacagawea dollars. But on the other hand I went to the bank yesterday and got them each a $2 dollar bill for no reason other then it go to a good cause.

My Wife would go to the bank and get a bunch of the Sacagawea Gold dollar coins.

Kinda like getting a gold piece, cool for a little kid!

My Kid's baby teeth are long gone now

2 dimes and a nickel were all I got But with inflation, it's got to be at least a couple of bucks now. Now if I were to lose a tooth, I would like a non-resident Idaho elk tag

I would like a non-resident Idaho elk tag

Is that what your going to give the dentist to cover the bill. I knew I should have been a dentist

my kids are getting a buck, unless the tooth fairy gets busy and doesnt stop by....

I gotta a quarter and was glad for that!

First tooth for each kid was $10.00. Each tooth since has been $3.00.

My daughter knocked out her two front baby teeth on our trampoline (knee to face) last summer. That cost us a trip to the ER AND an emergency dental visit. Of course, it was a Sunday afternoon so there were no dentists open. I was hesitant to give anything since she didn't really "lose" the teeth naturally...but the high of the laughing gas soon wore off and she was very excited about the tooth fairy visit that night...I should have left her the bill from the ER.

25 cents for me. I would expect more for my capped teeth if I lost one these days

We got a a quarter,.. unless my uncle stopped . He gave us a silver 50 cent piece each time he came by

My kids got $5.00, tooth brush and tooth paste,.. the perspective is different when mom is a hygienist and grandpa was a DDS

$1. Those one dollar gold coins are a great idea. So is the elk tag...... I might take a fall for that.

25 cents was the going rate with the fairy I had as a kid..
