The tooth fairy
Kids begin to loose their baby teeth around the age of 6. There are usually 20 baby teeth. That’s quite a few teeth for the Tooth Fairy to come for!
The first teeth to be lost are usually the central incisors. This is then followed by the eruption of the first permanent molars. The last baby tooth is usually lost around the age of 12, and is the cuspid or second molar.
The Tooth Fairy used to give only one dollar. Now it’s at least two. But the teeth have to be clean! Teeth left under the pillow that are exceptionally shinyand have been noticeably cared for with good tooth brushing and floss deserve much more. Sometimes special gifts are warranted. Maybe even a specially desired for toy. We’ll see.

The Legend and Myth of the Tooth Fairy is a delightful part of our modern family culture. Kids dream about receiving a special gift or money from this charming, magical fairy. Adults fondly remember the Tooth Fairy as a wonderful childhood fantasy of their youth, and they pass on the mystery and charm to their ow
n young children.
The legend of the Tooth Fairy began many centuries ago in a culture that encouraged folklore, legend, literature and the arts. Historians believe that this would have been a culture where the concept and myth of fairies was widely accepted – possibly in Ireland or England.
