So not really an AIBU...sorry!

My DD has her first wobbly tooth....just wondering what the going rate is these days? I used to get 20p a tooth and £1 for the two front ones, I'm assuming with the rate of inflation this has gone up since 30 years ago! (Although I have just asked DD what the tooth fairy pays for teeth and she answered with chocolate coins so I could be onto a winner!)

£1 a tooth?

Tooth Fairy leaves £2 coins in our house.... she's had to make one or two last minute trips to the local shop to get them in the past Grin

£1 per tooth

Chocolate coins is such a cute idea, I didn't ever think of that but it's magical. If a fairy used money I guess it would be made of chocolate or something equally lovely!!! 🦄

£2 for the first tooth and £1 for subsequent teeth.

I'm thinking chocolate coins left under the pillow could get messy!! Looks like the tooth fairy must be doing well for herself these days, think I'll go for £1 per tooth Smile thanks all!

£1 a tooth here

We use a scale to encourage tooth brushing:

Bronze coin - Dirty tooth
Silver coin - Ok tooth
Gold coin - Clean tooth

When they are really wobbly they find it hard to brush them so it inspires them to keep the brushing up.

I’ve only ever given gold coins (£1) but it deffo helps motivate them.

£20 for first one (((no change))

£2 after that until he got to 9:/10 and neither of us could be arsed anymore

£2 coin per tooth, apart from that one occasion when DS lost a tooth on an overnight flight and all I had was paper money, so he got $10
