    How much does the tooth fairy pay in your home?

    Many of us remember waking up with excitement to some change under the pillow, making the loss of that front tooth and the accompanying lisp all worth it. Does the tooth fairy visit your kids? Has the payment increased since you were a child?

    $1 to $5

    I used to give my daughter $1 for each tooth that she lost. I probably only got .25.

      $1 to $5

      Because of the recession, our tooth fairy has a backlog of payments for several teeth over a period of a couple of years.

        The payment has increased since I was a kid but so did everything else.

          My kids are too young to loose their teeth right now. But I will probably give them a dollar.

            My oldest son just got his 1st loose tooth. He was scared at 1st but when i told him he'd get $ when it came out he was happy.

                We give $5 in $1 coins - its a really big deal to them, and they don't ever want to spend the money because its so unique.
