I know it's not a AIBU..... But how much dose the tooth fairy pay these days ?

My son has just lost his first tooth, and I was just wondering. How much dose the tooth fairy charge these days?

Thanks in advance

Rifleponyandme I've looked at that app and it's awesome! Thank you so very much!!

Thank you for everybody's responses. I think I'll go with a pound and a shitload of glitter.

Our tooth fairy checks a little pot on a shelf in the bathroom each night and she leaves £2.

A few children in my class get £5 for every tooth!
Always slightly awkward when someone else asks why they only get £1

A £2 coin - they're more magical looking to me. .

£5 and a toy for the first tooth. The toy became a thing because my DS1's first tooth to come out was at a traumatic dentist visit (he'd fallen and damaged it) so my parental guilt at his crying, swollen, bloody face made me suggest a visit to Toys R Us. . I then had to do it for other DS to make it fair.

£10!!!

Can you be my tooth fairy Rifle?

£1 per tooth is fine

£2 coin

£1 here, maybe a bit more if I have another 50p knocking around. One of the best tips I was given was to put change under the pillow, so 10s or 20s instead of a £1 coin. Kids don't see the value, quantity is better, they see 5 coins as more than 1 coin even if it's the same monetary value.

Anyway, biggest tip...don't forget!... Speaking as someone that was greeted by a sad face this morning when my nine year old appeared and said "the tooth fairy didn't come last night"

Oops parent fail #786

Whatever silver coins I have - DD prefers lots of small coins rather than one big coin, and I always throw some glitter over it.

£1 for first teeth (including first molar) or if they've had to be pulled at the dentist. 50p after that.

£1 per tooth. I know someone who is giving £2 and the eyebrows are sky high amongst other parents whenever it's mentioned.

Apparently it's "tight" to not give your child a £5/£10 note.

£2 for first tooth and £1 for the rest around here. I wouldn't have given so much but it seems to be what all the other local children got.

Mine get £2 for the first tooth and £1 for the rest. Except dd when she had to have her four front teeth out under ga as she smashed them falling over, she got a £10 note and a toy.

We have a rule that the toothfairy only comes if the tooth falls out before bedtime the local shop shuts so i can get change (7pm) if not she comes the next day.

I usually give a pound. £5 for the first one though not really sure why?

My friends tooth fairy left her DD £20 for her first tooth! Makes me feel better about my fiver.

Friends DD gets a tenner. Most kids I know get £1 or £2.

I hate the whole tooth fairy thing. It's so weird.

£2 coin (in a tooth fairy bag 😳).

£2 coin. She stashes them away for when required.

£2 pound coin in our house.

Although that poor fairy is overworked, she is sometimes so forgetful busy, she can't make it to ours, so the tooth stays under the pillow til she can Ds thinks she needs some assistants!
On the other hand, his first tooth fell out at school and had vanished by the time he got home and turned his pockets out, so she paid up on his handwritten "I.O.U. " note!

We do £2 coin for first tooth then £1 coin for all the rest x

We used to sit on the stairs while my parents phoned the tooth fairies office to book a collection. If we lost a tooth after 8pm we had to wait until the next night, as she was already out on her rounds. Or they had run out of 20p's

I was guilted into £3 for the first tooth (loosened in a play park incident) but lowered it to £2 and a tooth-related gift (toothbrush, paste) or £3 if the gift doesn't arrive!

I am hoping we are at the age when the tooth fairy will stop visiting as DD has lost two teeth this week if anyone has any advice on that point?

Oh, and someone at DD's school gave note-money and a doll for the first tooth. I found out because someone asked if it was me, I thought I was overpaying with the money and the toothbrush!

Wow I had no idea I was being so tight. 50p here and only if DS's room is tidy enough. Also, Tooth fairy only wants shiny non-damaged teeth as she can't use damaged ones in her garden. Let's hope this is an incentive for DS to keep looking after his teeth

I'm a dentist and according to a survey last year the average was about £1.40 which would sort of go with the £1-2 mentioned by most posters

Pound. Agree w coins not notes
