My ds had his first tooth removed today, after knocking it several times since he was two (front!!) again well over yesturday and was such a mess the dentist said come in we'll take ikt out (he's just turned 5 and no sign of big tooth yet)

So whilst talking he said, mummy I get £3 tonight don't I. After I finished chocking on my tea I said 'what makes you say that?' All the children at school get £3 when there's fall out (me thinking hum your in reception sure not many lost them yet) no ds you get £0.50 as if the tooth fairy gave £3 for each tooth she'd have no money left. He was okay with this

but...............I'm I being tight or is this the new price of the tooth fairy FFS 20 teeth at £3 is £60 no way lol

Anyway rant overxx

£2 for the 1st and £1 after that.
some kids at school get £5

Surely the tooth fairy, being small, can only carry a single coin? (or poss note if she is feeling v generous). £3 is therefore not possible

£3 for the 1st tooth then £1 for each one. My DD1 had to have 2 out at the dentist due to them being rotten and she still expected money. She got 50p from the toothfairy for being brave and a note explaining why!!! She still believes and she is 9!!!

I think DS1 (now 10) got 20p!

With DS2 I was thinking of £1 for DS2 till an older girl at school told him it was £2 and I didn't have the heart to disappoint him.

DS1 is still losing teeth and he now benefits from the £2 and I THINK he still believes in the Tooth Fairy!!

My DD lost her first 2 teeth this week. I had no idea about the going rate - and guessed at £1 each. Seems I was right then!

60 quid for a full set of teeth? A bargain! My front four alone cost thousands.

(They are veneered )

I gave my firdt ds a fiver for his first tooth as i had no change and it fell out before bedtime. It's been a pound since then though.
