How much did the "tooth fairy" give for the first tooth?

My daughter is 5 and she has her first loose tooth! How much did you give your kids for their first tooth?

How much did the "tooth fairy" give for the first tooth?
I believe that I got a dime or a quarter at most for mine. Now I would give them $1 for the tooth, and maybe some other special treat, like ice cream or something soft since their teeth may be a little sore.





congratulations on your childs first tooth loss, be sure and brush.

Reply:I will probably give my kid 5 bucks. it is the first tooth...after that, i think a buck is sufficient
Reply:Few dollars
Reply:My Mom left me one dollar, one quarter, one dime, one nickle, and one penny. :)
Reply:first tooth, $5, then take it down after that to maybe $1.
Reply:Well, I got a quarter when I lost my first tooth, my child got a dollar for their first lost tooth. Now isn't she lucky the world got more expensive :P To her it was a million dollars, the tooth fairy also gave her a pack of bubblegum trident with the dollar.
Reply:I remember getting half-dollars.
Reply:At our house the tooth fairy always brings a golden or silver dollar.
Reply:My son first tooth he got 5 dollars for me and he got 5 dollars from his father. That was for the bottom teeth. His two front ones we payed him more for those ones. I think we payed him 6 for each tooth. We made it a big deal for the front two teeth. He was 5 when he lost his two bottom ones and 5 1/2 when he lost the front two teeth
Reply:i got 1.50, my brother got 5
Reply:i like the 1$ quarter, dime, nickel and penny idea. Just dont go overboard with like 10$ .
Reply:A half doller coin.


as a matter of fact that is what I always got from the tooth fairy. It was cool because now I have a coin collection that I started when I lost my baby teeth.
Reply:Our tooth fair rate has been $5.00 first tooth premium followed by $2.00 per tooth thereafter. We did have an occassion where my daughter knocked out both front teeth on Christmas eve (rough housing with brother) and that was worth $10.00-two teeth at a time and holiday premium. Give whatever you think, if you give more, just let them know that the tooth fairy doesn't do that every time.
Reply:A dollar for a regular tooth (kids have lots of teeth), and maybe for the first tooth because if you give them more one time they will miss it.
Reply:Before you give your child more than a dollar listen to this. We gave our son 5 dollars and a note from the tooth fairy. He also got a new book on "how to brush his teeth correctly." Now he loved it all...a bit too much. He started losing his teeth almost WEEKLY. He was actually pulling them OUT so he could get more money. The last time he did this the tooth fairy left him and note about taking care of his teeth and NOT pulling them out to let them come out by themselves..and didn't leave him not ONE single dollar.





If I could have done this all over I would've given him a dollar and a note from tooth fairy and that's all.





Final note: ALL children are different.
Reply:We won't be doing the "tooth fairy" thing. When I was a kid, I remember getting a quarter...that was 34 years ago, though. LOL.
Reply:I gave my daughter $5 for the first tooth. Between $1- $3 for each tooth after that.
