    Going Rate For The Tooth Fairy?

    My daughter lost her first tooth last night and all I had was a $20.

    I hope she does not expect a $20 for every tooth.

    What is the going rate for the tooth fairy these days?

    Yikes! You set the bar pretty high! I'm assuming she is young enough that perhaps she might forget?...maybe you can slip a $10 next time...tell her that the TF leaves more for the first tooth. Good luck!

      That is exactly what we told her.

            we gave each of our kids $10 for the first tooth and $2 for any tooth after.....my youngest lost her first tooth the end of November and her second the very next morning.

                  i give my kids $1.00 but the first is diffrent so $20.00 aint horrible since it was her first just make sure she understands that the tooth fairy lives in a economy that is really low right now and not to expect that everytime lol

                            Going rate for my kids was $5 a tooth. I once splurged and gave the oldest a $20 but thats when he knew there was no tooth fairy. I think the kids know this year that the tooth fairy is suffering from the recession just like everyone else.

                              We go $5 per tooth no specials for firsts and no extra for knock outs either.
