Well Ashlyn got those Susan B Anthony dollars for regular teeth and $2 bills for molars. She busted my ex-hubby the first go around but he covered by saying that he was just making sure that the TF could get to it. LOL

First tooth is the most. Well, except if any ever have to be professionally pulled, those require higher amounts for the added suffering. . . .

The first tooth, my daughter got a toothbrush and the book Junie B Jones, Toothless Wonder. After that she got a silver dollar for each tooth. She is 12, still has a loose tooth. I had gotten the silver dollars from my grandfather when he passed away. She still has them all. I also thought about $2 bills. I have a bunch of those in a box too. The silver dollars were just easier to get to when she lost the second tooth. My sister now does the same thing. We have not done the tooth fairy thing since she learned there was no Santa, Tooth Fairy or Easter Bunny from her second grade Christian School teacher….

When our older two were young, a quarter. Then it became two and stayed that way. I think if you start out too much, you are setting presidence–and what if you can’t find more than four quarters lying around the house the night she loses her tooth and it’s 11pm!!?

Our tooth fairy left a whole 25 cents for the first tooth! It gets expensive with 4 kids, so this tooth fairy is pretty frugal.

For her first tooth we gave her a dollar plus she got to pick out something she wanted at Target;) Teeth after that are still a dollar, but no extras.

It started as a quarter and ended as a dollar. I am just hoping to find codeine under the pillow when I lose the wisdom teeth

The tooth fairy always left a $1 at my house. I have heard that others get $5, 10, 20 ~ I have heard the brunt of it from my boys, and told them sorry but our tooth fairy only carries one dollar bills in her pouch.

When Marissa lost her teeth, the ToothFairy brought her $1. Josh has lost a few of his and he’s gotten $1 also. Now my neice, my SIL and BIL give her $5, and Josh has asked why she gets more than him. I have to think of something before his next tooth falls out. I like the idea of the golden dollar like Pirate money. I don’t remember how much the toothfairy left me, I’m sure it was only a dime or a quater at most.

My kids have been taught fact/fiction so they know it is a fictional thing but we play along. The TF finds great treasures at the dollar store and keeps a stash in hiding (you never know when it is going to happen) It is a better value than giving $ it has more of a thought to it. Whatever applies to the child s likes is kept an eye out for . rarely over a $1-2 of value. If it is an especially hard tooth to loose it is a comfort toy or a reward. Like “Wow Mom How did she know I wanted jacks!”?
