Tooth Fairy Update

Question:

How much is the tooth fairy paying these days for baby teeth?

Answer:

A recent study found that the current average is $4.66 per baby tooth. This is a significant increase of 75 cents over 2015. The study found that more than 200 million dollars were paid out by the tooth fairy and her representatives in 2016. After the tooth fairy visits children, it’s a great time for parents to discuss the importance of taking care of the new permanent teeth that are erupting. It’s also a great time to see an orthodontist after a child’s baby molars fall out.
