Hello Dental Family!

Tooth Fairy Day

August 22 is Tooth Fairy Day. But where did the tooth fairy originate? 

The tooth fairy has been popularized in the United States by dentists, parents, and Hollywood. In Hollywood's case, the tooth fairy comes in the form of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. But many think the money-giving sprite originated in Northern European tradition, where children would receive the tand-fé or tooth fee when they lost their first tooth. 

While in the US, children received a small reward of 5 cents back in the early 1900s for their teeth, some areas of the country have reported children receiving up to $5 per tooth nowadays.
