cazza Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 My daughter has lost her first tooth today! Can anyone help please?What's the current rate paid by the tooth fairy in East Dulwich? I was thinking a pound? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/27776-tooth-fairy-whats-the-going-rate/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrs.lotte Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 My daughter lost her first tooth today too! She'll be getting ?1 like her big bro though they often claim that significantly more is given to their classmates - tall tales I reckon.

kristymac1 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Tooth fairy left a pound under daughter's pillow last night, definitely have heard of more being left but I reckon our tooth fairy is pretty fair and ;-) tbh our daughter is more excited by the letter left.by the tooth fairy than the cash -clearly that will change, but for now...

Saffron Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Oh dear, maybe I'm really soft, but I thought it would be a lot more! I remember as a child being really disappointed that the tooth fairy had only left me a very anticlimactic 20p. I think I would have rather kept my tooth.My boss has an interesting solution. Apparently his tooth fairy has an EU contract and leaves only Euros!

Knomester Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 20p?! You were luck ;) I used to get a shiny 10p piece in my little tin in exchange for my tooth (except for when I had to have big baby teeth taken out to make room and they earned me a special 50p for being brave!).

Pickle Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 In NZ I used to get 20c (around 5-10p) for a bottom tooth, and 50c for a top one (no idea why the tooth fairy felt the need to differentiate!). I think ?1 is fine, I've heard that's what our local tooth fairy pays, and we are due to have a visit soon :-) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/27776-tooth-fairy-whats-the-going-rate/#findComment-605615 Share on other sites More sharing options...
etta166 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Just remember to be consistent. I can still remember my older brother's outrage when I got $1 for my 1st lost tooth and he had only got 25c. The fact that he knocked mine out might have had something to do with the inflation...

Mrs TP Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Defo a pound. Although I had a conversation with a young girl doing a table sale outside her house off Whatley Road in the summer and she proudly showed me her first toothy gap and told me she had got ?15 for the tooth and her mum was there to agree. I nearly fell over! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/27776-tooth-fairy-whats-the-going-rate/#findComment-605704 Share on other sites More sharing options...
eco79 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I got 50p for a first tooth in 1988. I asked a saddo I know to work out the inflation....and it would now be 90p.

cactus Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Usually ?1, but last night no coins apart from the penny jar, so I raided his Christmas moneyand he got ?5!

minder Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I've always given 50p or sometimes a quid. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/27776-tooth-fairy-whats-the-going-rate/#findComment-606406 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cazza Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 Thanks for your comments, my little girl received a shiny pound coin and has a suitable gappy smile :)In my research on the going rate - I came across a child who received a packet of chicken flavoured crisps. The tooth fairy had no change and improvised.

Saffron Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Aren't crisps supposed to be the worst thing for teeth? Hmm, that tooth fairy had a conflict of interest!

Fly Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I got 10p but would have preferred a wad of ?50s Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/27776-tooth-fairy-whats-the-going-rate/#findComment-608286 Share on other sites More sharing options...
