How much does the tooth fairy give your child?
Have times changed? What’s the exchange rate nowadays

£2

£1

£1 unless tooth fairy forgets, in which case a late payment tax bumps it up to £2

£1 and a lovely note from the Tooth Fairy.
She updates the kids on what she’s building with the teeth - conservatory, kitchen units etc.
I know that if I die OH will not carry on this tradition.

Usually a £2 coin if I have one!

£1 tooth fairy
£2 in a newborn babies pram.

My 6 year old really doesn't understand the value of money and gets just as excited by a penny as she does a pound, so the tooth fairy gives whatever she has in her purse, usually a 20p coin but sometimes 50p or £1.

On one memorable occasion the tooth fairy had a very busy night and didn't make it to our house until about 9am the next morning, so she left a trail of coins from the window to the bedroom to make up for it. That was an exciting day.

£2 for first tooth, £1 for each tooth after that.

Same. I stopped paying after the first 8 though.

£2 for a clean tooth and £1 for a dirty tooth, as decided by the tooth fairy. Always give £2 but this helps in getting him to brush his teeth every day because he is protecting his ability to get more money later from the tooth fairy!

My next door neighbours kid told me the tooth fairy gives you 50p for your first tooth then that's it 🤔

£1

£2

Put straight into the bank because the tooth fairy is so shocking at remembering around here.

My mum had 6 of us. The tooth fairy was probably a pain in the arse to deal with.
The tooth fairy always forgot to come. I can remember my dad coming in our room and spotting the 50p on the floor that the tooth fairy dropped and taking the tooth to send to them.😆😆

£5 for the first, then £1 thereafter. The tooth fairy forgot last week & DD woke to find her tooth still in the bag! DH covered by saying it was still dark out & she must be running late, then found a £ sharpish!

£1 here

£1

Was £1 but a few years ago for mine now.

I’d probably stretch to £2 now.

TheKeatingFive shit pic, but here he is. He carries a little envelope for the tooth/money. I made him

£1

My kids have a gohenry card and the toothfairy pays on there after we “send” the tooth because if COVID risk

@Soubriquet this is genius!! You win the internet today.

DS was 9 years old when he lost number 7 and 8, then 11 when he started losing them again. He is still losing them at 14 and has his first 12 year old molar starting to come through. I paid for the first 8 but then he was at secondary school and wasn't bothered about £1. Do others pay for all 20?

The tooth fairy was caught out by a tooth that was looser than expected recently, so had to leave 40p The recipient was delighted with because she got four coins! 😁

£2

Nearly went up to £10 during the lockdown when I had no cash but was rescued by a neighbour
Make a stash of coins!

That happened to me with my eldest. Many moons ago, remembered in the middle of the night so she ended up with £10. She got £1 per tooth after that (ensured there was a stash of coins!).

Dd2 lost her first during lockdown luckily I managed to find a £1 in bag (it was that or a 2p!) and once again now have a stash waiting!

Usually a £1 coin. Dd had a $1 dollar bill when she lost a tooth in Florida and ds had a pounds worth of silver when he lost a tooth at bedtime and neither dh or I had any pound coins!
