We usually gave our kids a dollar, and they were happy…but later would mention that a friend got more :/. When they were a little older, and the dentist was going to have to start pulling the slow-to-fall-out teeth, we offered them $5 for any teeth they could wiggle out on their own! Saved us a little money on the dentist bill!

I’m hanging my head in shame as one of the big spenders for teeth. We pay $5 per tooth. But in my defense, we accidentally set the bar high. His first 2 teeth were extractions so warranted a little extra. We wanted something per tooth, plus the extraction and as a non-cash family, all we could scrounge up was 3 $5 bills. Every tooth my son has lost has been relatively dramatic if not traumatic though (a headbutt from the dog, a failed attempt to do the string trick, lost in a burger, and almost swallowed overnight) so he actually probably deserved the $5 each time.

WHO ARE ALL THESE PEOPLE GIVING THEIR KIDS BIG BUCKS FOR TEETH!?! I do live in the midwest where the average is the lowest but seriously!?! My son swallowed his first tooth while eating lunch at school. He wrote the tooth fairy a note explaining what happened. She did leave him $1 and note asking to make sure he didn’t swallow the next one. After all, she’s in the tooth business. When he lost is second tooth (this one not swallowed!) he got $1 for that one. That means his entire mouth will cost $20 (unless he needs braces-Lord help us).

Daaaaaaaang, $3-4 per tooth?! I’m with whoever said they got 50 cents in the 80s. Good grief. I’ll keep the cool coins and whatnot in mind for when my little one starts losing teeth…

In reply to Mr. r2e. I saved my kids' teeth so they could use them for Science Fair projects later on. Like - what happens to teeth when you soak them in soda.

In reply to J. Money. Elementary school is fine, I just wanted my oldest to know before middle school next year. There is no way you don't get teased at that point.
