What did you get for losing a tooth?

I got a quarter, but that was in the 60s. When I reached adulthood I had to PAY the “tooth fairy” dentist for removing them, what’s up with that!!!!

I can't recall how much exactly, but I did get some coins. But I think my fairies were weird, because I remember finding the coins under my pillow before I even put the tooth there .

Oh yes, but the amounts were modest. I think the most I got was 35 cents maybe. Of course things cost less in those days.

it was a long time ago when the tooth fairy came to visit me but it was a coin that I got. It somehow was suppoed to make losing a tooth ok. It usually did the trick.

I can't remember what I got. I gave my kids a dollar.

I think the max I got for the first teeth was about a quarter. I knew Dad and Grandma were the tooth fairies, but I wouldn't ever mention that I knew that. I had a little sister, so I was always careful not to mess up the good stuff as she was right behind me. The last time I was in Florida, one of my little grands lost a baby tooth--the first one. My daughter came in to my room and said, Mom, I have no cash at all, just two dimes! Do you have any cash? I actually did...I had one dollar bill, a five, and a ten. She didn't think the one dollar was quite enough, so she gave him the five from the tooth fairy. Oh, and oddly the tooth fairy wrote a nice note to my grandson, that said, you get a special amount for the first tooth, because you were so brave. After that, he gets $2. It seems like a fortune compared to the tiny amount we used to get, but times have changed, even for the ol' tooth fairy! Annelyn is a cutie!

We were poor. We got a dime. It seemed like a lot since we seldom had money or an allowance. I love her beautiful hair.

No, but the practice here is to throw the tooth on the rooftop, so it can be replaced soon.

Its not true, hehehe, you did not get any.

This is a nice tradition, no Tooth Fairy in Italy where I was born and grew up.

we do not have that here, unfortunately. It would be fun to get something for the loss of tooth

So long ago I have forgotten but I think I got a quarter,

Yes. I think I received a quarter. That was a LONG time ago.

She grew up so much. And those pretty curls. Nope never. In our country (island) it was different. We were told to throw it over the house roof and to say, "mouse mouse come take my milky tooth and give me your sharp tooth" We would say that maybe 7 times. Now that I think of it, sounds weird. But my aunties made me do it. I was a lot naive back then I don't know if they were just making fun of me or it's a real thing. But yes that's how it was for me.

I got a dime, but that was more than 60 years ago, when you could actually buy something for that.

unfortunately I never got anything just a few teeth which i threw in the trash.

No tooth fairy in our house either but mother saw to it they were extracted at the right time in that the new set of teeth were perfectly placed and we all had a good set of teeth Ofourse now I have lost a few but have no plans to replace them.

She is such a cute little punkin. congratulations to her for losing her first tooth! Back in my day we got a nickle. If they were raising kids today, it wouldn't be any more, they didn't have alot to give.

Yes I used to get 10p. Our girls (40 years later) get 50p.

I did and I think the going rate when I was young was two shillings. I must ask my friend's grandkids what they get nowadays.
