How much does the tooth fairy bestow upon your kids?
Because, apparently, rates have gone way up since I eagerly hid teeth under my pillow.
I’m pretty sure I was stoked if I got a quarter… but then again, I could buy 25 pieces of teeth-rotting candy with that amount of money.
Regardless of inflation, I was surprised by two recent polls that reveal the going rate for baby teeth.
How Much Does the Tooth Fairy Leave?
The tooth fairy leaves an average of $3.91 per tooth, according to a survey by Delta Dental. And that’s even down 10% from last year.
Some of the other interesting findings, as reported by Kiplinger:
- 40% of parents also leave toothbrushes; 33%, toothpaste.
- On average, dads leave more than moms.
- 20% of parents leave a $5 bill, and 5% leave a whopping $20 or more!
- $1 is the most popular amount, left by 32% of parents.
Also worth noting, February 28 is apparently National Tooth Fairy Day.
Don’t celebrate too hard, though — from what I’ve heard, the tooth fairy doesn’t make an appearance when you lose a tooth as a grown-up.
