National Tooth Fairy Day celebrates one of childhood's favorite visitors. The Tooth Fairy is an American tradition with European and superstitious roots.
Losing baby teeth is a sometimes traumatic experience for young children. Enter the world of the friendly, smiling and soothing Tooth Fairy. As a young child's first baby tooth becomes lose, the child often fears losing it. The promise of a visit from the tooth fairy and a gift, turns the occasion into something to look forward to. When the tooth finally falls out, mom cleans it off. It is often put it into a "tooth box". At bedtime, the child puts the tooth under his pillow. The tooth fairy comes after the child falls asleep. She takes the tooth and leaves a small gift, usually money. The tooth fairy leaves a gift every time the child loses a tooth.
Never fear: If the tooth is literally lost in some way, don't worry. The Tooth Fairy always knows, and will still leave a gift. She magically knows each time a baby tooth falls out, and will arrive that night , even if the child is away at grandmas, or on vacation.
Does or did your child believe in the toothfairy? How much does she leave for a tooth?
My kids are too young to lose teeth, but I am excited for when they do.

Aww....I can remember being super excited as a kid about the toothfairy!! LOL
My boys have outgrown the toothfairy, but still insist that they need to get a dollar every time that they lose a tooth. lol They are 9 and 12.
When they were littler, they actually preferred 4 quarters instead of a dollar bill. I'm not really sure why though. I guess the quarters seemed like more money to a 5 year old.
