PFB and his first tooth... but we do have 2 younger kids so don't want to bankrupt ourselves.

Cheeky DC1 said it's a "fiver for first tooth" Grin

£2 for.first tooth £1 every tooth after that

Ds just lost his first tooth. Well I say lost, it was more knocked out when he tripped over his friend's feet whilst playing tag and faceplanted the playground. When I arrived to pick him up his friends all told me it was £1 per tooth!

Aarghkids · 28/02/2019 17:06

Mine get a fiver for the first one, £2 each one after

Redyoyo · 28/02/2019 17:19

£3 a tooth, that must have been all the change we had when dd1 first tooth came out.

ImportantWater · 28/02/2019 17:24

£2 for the first £1 thereafter
The number of times I have forgotten though, and had to do a sleight of hand "oh look here it is, she did come after all, you must have missed it". Actually some of the times I have remembered they haven't been able to find it -they twist and turn in their sleep like twisty turny snakes.

£2 per tooth. £5 if there's trauma involved, like getting kicked in the face on the trampoline and losing it in the grass.

ShabbyAbby · 28/02/2019 17:31

Not there yet but £1

What do these kids need a fiver or near enough for Shock that's a lot of money for a kid!

lucysmam · 28/02/2019 17:31

We did £2 for the first and then £1 each one after that.

DrFoxtrot · 28/02/2019 19:14

£1

MrsBungle · 28/02/2019 19:19

My first got a fiver for her first tooth because the tooth fairy had no bloody change. £2 coin for subsequent teeth. Due to dc1 getting £5 obviously dc2 had to get the same!

MissMatchedClaws · 28/02/2019 19:19

£1 for a little one, £2 for a molar

Wigeon · 28/02/2019 19:21

We are obviously tight - 50p a tooth and last time it was a 50p we’d already given her because we didn’t have any other 50ps in the house! (I have now paid it back, secretly...).

00100001 · 28/02/2019 19:23

Oh.... My DS15 got 50p

StrumpersPlunkett · 28/02/2019 19:24

£1 per tooth except for ones removed as part of an operation they were £10 as he was fabulous

gonedolallytap · 28/02/2019 19:28

£1 but I did buy a cute little tooth fairy mouse to put said tooth in which knocked me back an extra £12 Hmm

Justgivemesomepeace · 28/02/2019 19:31

£1 in our house.

GetOffTheTableMabel · 28/02/2019 19:35

I used to tell mine that it depended on how clean the tooth was. Mostly £1 but 50p if I felt they’d been rushing and a random encouraging £2 here and there.

Nnnnnineteen · 28/02/2019 19:38

£1. Nights I didn't have money meant a note to say the tooth wasn't clean enough and she'd be back the next night instead.
Did do one £2 night but that was to console a sad child after a swallowed tooth....

madcatladyforever · 28/02/2019 19:40

Around £500 for a root canal and Crown Confused

Muddlingalongalone · 28/02/2019 19:41
