How much should the tooth fairy pay per lost tooth?

I usually give my kids a silver dollar. They're different and the kids would rather collect them than spend them. Anyone else have any guidelines?

How much should the tooth fairy pay per lost tooth?
when I was growing up my dad would leave a trail of silver coins around my room! I loved losing my teeth! now I do the same for my kids! its the fun of the tooth fairy not the cost! They wont care how much the fairy leaves, they are just happy the toothfairy came. Have fun with it.

Reply:I only got a quarter as a kid. With inflation, a dollar is good.

Reply:I have given my daughter a dollar (paper) for each tooth.
Reply:I used to get a dollar but now my nieces get $5.00. I would give my kids $5 also and make them save it.
Reply:It would depend on the age of the child. Younger children should get 50 cents and older kids a dollar or so. Thanks for a neat question. It's been ages since I got to pretend to be the tooth fairy with my son.





Enjoy your children.
Reply:A crisp new dollar bill
Reply:Well it depends on how old your child is. For a younger child about 5-7 I say give them about $5.00 per tooth. Teeth don't come out but about every couple of months or so around that age so $5.00 dollars wont be such a strain on your wallet and the child will look forward to buying some goodies and will associate loosing teeth to a happy experience instead of a painful one.
Reply:Back when the tooth fairy visited me in the early 90's I'd be lucky to get 50 cents. A silver dollar sounds good though, especially since they would rather collect, than spend it.

Reply:It was 6d in old money when I was little (2 1/2p). Now, it's gone up to £1.00. The tooth fairy must be richer than Bill Gates.
