Tooth fairy - how much?

[rogesse]

It's been a long time since since the tooth fairy visited this house, but my 14yr old has to have 3 teeth (all milk) removed tomorrow before getting fitted for a brace.

The monster has already started haggling - At 42yrs I remember first getting 10p per tooth then 50p later on in the recession hit 70's.....

Monster reckons £5 is a good starting point - what is the going rate

Pickle gets a quid a tooth. I remember getting 10p when I was a nipper.

Bury them under an apple tree and tell him he can have the first apple from it..............yeah I'm sure he'll go for that........NOT!

10p a tooth when I was a Little Un!

Iona got £1 for the first tooth and now expects 20p per tooth but she lost one last week after a lot of pain (so she says) so the Tooth Fairy gave her a bonus and she got 50p for that one

........ unless he was at his dads, cos the stingy bleep bleep bleeper dropped him off at home after the weekend and said ............... that the tooth fairy doesn't go to their house, so he wrapped it in a tissue and sent it home grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When DD had to have 3 out at the dentist before they could do her braces we let her choose a video from the tooth fairy, which was around £10. Worth every penny. She was a quivering jelly, but there was no murmur from her, just a crushed Mum's hand. I don't know I'd have got her in through the door, let alone in the chair otherwise. That's the penalty of never needing any fillings, she wasn't prepared to let the dentist do more than look

£1 / tooth in this house

Used to do 50p for front ones and a quid for molars. £5 would be one very rich fairy!
