Whats the going rate for a tooth these days?

juliecat1

It varies at my house too as the toothfairy never seems to have small bills when she needs em. :laugh:

Aww, I can't wait til my little guy's teeth start to fall out!

Smack him around a little bit and it will happen early.
:devil:

*NOT* being serious. For all you people out there without a sense of humor.

This sounded really funny to me. I know what you meant, but it sounds hilarious.

HAHA, yeah. I knew I couldn't have worded it any better

I love this

One thing that I do is get some glitter and sprinkle some around the bed and night table, then I tell them that they must have struggled with her in their sleep, or that she must have bumped into something!

My son recently lost a tooth and I put 5 dollars under his pillow. Funny thing is when he checked under his pillow and seen 5 dollars he gave me a funny look and says 5 dollars mom? What can I do with this nothing! Lol kids are to smart nowadays.

Your son seems a bit ungrateful. The next tooth he lost would have been a lump of coal if it was my kid.

HaHa!!! The next toot he lost would of been at my hand!!!!...j/k :noway: :ohwell:

We'd get 50 cents to a buck for teeth.

That's what my kids will get as well. It's a freakin tooth, after all.

The tooth fairy left me a phat $20 once. I thought I'd hit the jackpot. Looking back, I bet my mom was saying to herself, "oh *kitten*! I grabbed the wrong bill from my wallet in the dark...that'll learn me!"

Lmao, My sister did this :laugh:

I got $1 a tooth, but due to inflation I would think the going rate is at least $2 or $3.

It WAS $1 for any tooth...but while we were at the beach, my sons front center teeth were so loose that it was making it almost impossible for him to eat - so we told him that we "heard" the toothfairy gives $2 for top teeth in an effort to get him to let us pull them (it worked lol). He's the first of the 3 to lose teeth, so I suppose the rest will follow suit....$1 for bottom teeth and $2 for top teeth.

I used to get a quarter in the 80's, too. My two kids these days get $5 for their first tooth and $2 for each subsequent tooth.

I can hardly imagine what it will be when their kids are losing teeth. $10/tooth? Yikes!

A WHOLE BUCK! Alot, I know, but I think it's a pretty standard amount nowadays!

mlbazemore

I thought $1 was the going rate and now I'm seeing people are paying like $5 a tooth. My kids would love ya'll...lol...someone mentioned inflation...I'm gonna mention recesssion.

Too smart or too ungrateful?? If I had said that to my mom when I was a kid I would have gotten slapped, and the next time I lost a tooth there wouldn't have been a thing under my pillow.


Ahh... our future generation..

Mom just scattered some glitter around the bug-zapper, and then looked real sad in the morning. "Sorry son, she walked into the light, and POOF!"









***No I'm not serious! It sounded funny though!*** :bigsmile:

I used to get half-dollars, back when they still made 'em.

OMG my brat gets a trip to SF, a video game, or a Thai dinner.
He's spoiled.

Kids repeat what they normally hear! I don't think he's ungrateful I actually thought it was funny. I wouldn't slap my kid for something like that maybe your parents slapped your around for saying stuff like that,but I don't do that.

Next time he looses a tooth he will continue getting what I feel like putting under his pillow.

I'm not that mean of a mom to leave a lump of "coal" for saying that. I actually thought it was funny!

A bit off topic but, I once begged my parents for a lump of coal in my x-mas stocking, no joke! I saw a lump of goal and loved how it shimmered against it black carbon structure. My parents thought it was odd, but when I got the coal, I was super happy.

My baby hasn't even gotten a tooth in yet, but when that time comes, the money will vary depending on the tooth (molar, premolar, anterior) and of course how shinny and clean they are :-) ... Can you tell I'm a dental assistant and studying to be dental hygienists?? LOL

I can just see a lil kid saying this, all innocently. Most young children wouldn't get how this could be perceived as ungrateful. Older children? Different story. I'm picturing a little five year old kindergartener, and it's completely adorable. A ten year old? I'd snatch it from him or her and say I could find something to spend it on!

We took the easy way out and told my son that last christmas the Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus had a horrible collision that neither survived.

OMG l just spat on the computer, love it - probably wont tell my 2 & 4 year olds about the accident just yet

My kids get $1 per tooth. But they get $5 for a molar!

We are on the same path here..A 5 year old doesn't know much about money he seen a 5 dollar bill and thought it was just 1 dollar..Now if I were to give him 5 ones he would think it was more..I thought it was cute! Now I agree if he were older at 10 where he understood more about money then yeah I would have snatched it out of his hand.
