If Tad Tuleja was right that the tooth fairy exists to teach kids about capitalism, there are plenty of adults learning from her example as well.

Folklore about the tooth fairy is a custom that is believed to date as far back as the s.
Folklore has it that when children lose one or more of their baby teeth, they should place the tooth under their pillow and while they are asleep at night the tooth fairy will come and exchange the tooth for money or a present. We here at Stem Protect are also interested in baby teeth or as they are also known milk teeth. We store stem cells from baby teeth to help cure diseases and it seems the tooth fairy collects baby teeth with a similar objective to help people.

No one knows the definite answer to this question and, because the story about the tooth fairy has been told by many people over many decades, several reasons have emerged for why the tooth fairy takes your teeth. Some say the tooth fairy takes your teeth so it can give them to babies who do not have any teeth.
Others say the tooth fairy needs teeth to build nice white castles for all the other tooth fairies to live, while some others say the tooth fairy needs teeth to make fairy dust which she makes by crushing teeth that are not so nice and squeaky clean into dust. Folklore tells us that the tooth fairy keeps teeth for her own personal pleasure.
The tooth fairy is fascinated with teeth and keeps them with her in her castle as ornaments that light up her surroundings, especially if they are clean and shiny teeth.

Each Tooth Fairy container is unique and special and will be cherished for a very long time! First off, since we work for the Tooth Fairy, we can tell you that oral hygiene is of utmost importance to her.
Let them know that the Tooth Fairy expects them to brush two times each day and floss between teeth every day too. This would also be a great time to give your child a new toothbrush! They should be replaced every three months or after your child gets sick anyway. If your little angel just lost their first tooth, this is your chance to skip the money altogether!
The Tooth Fairy can give a practical gift: a small container to hold future teeth so she can find them under their pillow easily. This DIY project just needs a little imagination and creativity. Look around for any small container: mint tins, small pill bottles, a tiny velvet jewelry box, even a used up tube of lip balm!
You could also use or make a small fabric pouch. Get crafty with paint, fabric, little plastic gems or stickers, but make it look special. Scroll to the bottom of this post for ideas or explore Pinterest for inspiration. Then, with each lost tooth your child can leave a note to the Tooth Fairy in the container, and she can leave them a note, or a small gift, coins—whatever fits inside the container. If your child enjoys jokes, she could leave a tooth-related joke each time.
Here are a few to get you started. If you're good with the sewing machine or fabric glue, another option is to make a special Tooth Fairy pillow with a small pocket to put the tooth in. Are you handy with paper? Write a special teeny tiny note from the Tooth Fairy.
