TOOTH FAIRY NEWS
by adminI remember when the Tooth Fairy left $ .25 a tooth 
That was the going price for the Baby Boomers.
Securian Dental’s 2008 Tooth Fairy price poll reveals that per-tooth prices jumped 22% this year to an amazing $2.09 per tooth on average.
Securian reports that $1 is the most common price tag on a lost baby tooth. An online poll of more than 20,000 readers at ParentCenter.com comfirms this trend: 52% of respondents report paying a dollar a tooth. In Securian’s survey, $5 per tooth was the second most poopular payment. With 20 baby teeth to lose, today’s children are looking at a nice little nest egg.
As we study the poll results we found that the Tooth Fairy leaves more money per tooth on the East Coast than on the West Coast. New York teeth go for about $1 more than California teeth and $1.25 more than Mid-western teeth. I have heard of the Tooth Fairy leaving as little as a nickel per tooth and as large as $50 per tooth.
