What does the tooth fairy pay these days?

Question

I'm 31 and my step-daughter just lost her first tooth. What is the going price for teeth these days? I say it should be $1 like I got when I was a kid. My husband says we should give her $5.

Answer 1

$5 is too much. $1 sounds more reasonable.

Answer 2

The tooth fairy gave my daughter 2 dollars the first time, and note that said she was happy she lost a tooth, and each tooth after the first will be a dollar

Hint
Leave the tooth in a plastic bagie with a note for the tooth fairy
The tooth fairy can take the bag easy, and replace with one with a note for your step-daughter

Good luck
One dollar is plenty for a child. Look at how namy teeth a child will loose

Answer 3

Well when i lost a tooth, every time i got 20 dollars AND a new stuffy (stuffed animal). My family is inbetween poor and middle class, both my parents now work two jobs, not very well paying, but when i was little (i'm 13 now) i still got 20 dollars that went straight to a trust fund that my great grandma set up for me, that started out with $10,000 and plus all the teeth i've lost i'd say it increased about 300 dollars. What you should do is set up a trust fund and when they loose a tooth just the money in there and go buy a cute stuffy for them wwhile they're sleeping, but make sure one of you stays at home.

Answer 4

For your childs first tooth i would say 5-10 dollars. It seems like a bit much but its her first tooth and it is really important to the child. Dont be afraid to give her a little bit extra! Children love the feeling of having a fantasy figure that rewards them (Santa, Tooth Fairy, etc.) Have Fun!

Answer 5

I give $1 each- and now that we're down to the last couple of teeth- and he's almost 12- sometimes, they just come out and it barely gets acknowledged! It's only really fun for a few years and the first few teeth- even kids know this! My grandson - whom I raise- doesn't make any fuss over losing a tooth and I just give him a couple bucks for every few teeth over the months. It's a natural process, not like something extraordinary the kid did, for heaven's sake. It's a "token" not a reward!

Answer 6

My son got 5 for his first tooth, BUT that was only because the tooth fairy didn't have change in his pocket. And now he only gets 50 cents per tooth. If you pay them too much per tooth, or for anything you pay them for they start to think there is a money tree somewhere and don't appreciate or understand how money works.

Answer 7

I would say $3-5 for the first tooth.

Answer 8

First tooth $5 OR a beanie baby or webkin or some stuffed animal, after that $1 for eacht tooth. But if it is pulled by a dentist, pay $5 or a stuffed animal.

Answer 9

Mine always gets $5. I wish the tooth fairy was that generous when I was a kid!!! lol

Answer 10

i'm uncertain. i presumed the oldest 2 granddaughters have been given a greenback a the teeth yet i may well be incorrect because of the fact final week whilst we've been on trip with our daughter and her females at our son's living house the youngest, 6, lost her first the teeth and he or she have been given $10! it must be because of the fact our son's girlfriends youngsters constantly get $10 and introduced that loudly while Lexie lost her the teeth. i'm going to have an interest to work out what she receives while she loses the subsequent one and if the older 2 ask for retroactive reimbursement.

Answer 11

first tooth should be about 2-4 dollers then every tooth after that should be 1 $ then molars are 2$ thats how it works in my family and i hope it works for you too
