My daughter’s dad set an annoying precedent.

He started giving her £10 for every tooth that comes out. Now that her teeth are regularly falling out, it’s costing a fortune.

She lives with me, not him of course.

Did she think it came from a tooth fairy or know it was him?

Tell her to ask her dad for it each time.

Wrap the teeth up in a little bag for her to take to her dad's and explain that the tooth fairy will collect from his house.

This.

Or
"The fairy that does daddy's postcode pays more. The one in our postcode only pays £1 per tooth. You are SO lucky you can save it until you go to your dads!!"

Our kids know there are lots of toothfairies HOW else can it work??

He told her it was the tooth fairy.

In that case, do as one of the others suggest, take the teeth to his or ask her to check with dad when the tooth fairy is coming.
