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

£1 for the first tooth. 50p per tooth thereafter.

Tooth fairy is not made of money Grin

£2 for the first and £1 for each afterwards

We got caught with no change so it was a £5 not. Set a dreadful precedent Sad

A girl in one of my DC’s class 7 yrs ago got £50 for her first tooth. The rest of the parents were Shock, particularly when this was quoted by other DC as the going rate! Mine have all varied between 50p and £2.

The tooth fairy DH had enjoyed a couple of gins when DS lost his first tooth and left £20 under the pillow Shock it made the £1 per subsequent tooth a bit anti climatic!

£2 for the first one and £1 for all the others. My mum set a horrible precedent for my brother - she was staying at theirs and my niece's tooth fell out. DB and SIL were away for the weekend, so my mum handled the tooth fairy. Only my brother lives in Chile and my mum got the exchange rate wrong, and ended up leaving the equivalent of £30. Mad as a box of frogs SIL then insisted it had to stay the same for all subsequent teeth or DNiece would realise there was something fishy about the whole tooth fairy thing...
