No Images? Click here My older son’s front baby teeth are getting ready to fall out. He’s so proud and excited... and unable to eat his beloved apples as easily as before.Which got me thinking: What DOES the tooth fairy pay these days? Back in the day, I think I got $2, maybe $5 per tooth, and that seems like a lot 30-some-odd years later. I think my parents definitely forgot to pay me sometimes and I don’t remember it being that big a deal. Fast forward to today, and some parents are paying their kids upwards of $20 per tooth.All this to say, we definitely need some tooth fairy pricing regulation around here. Luckily, HuffPost’s Taylor Pittman looked at the data and talked to some parents to figure out what the going rate is and has been, to give us all a better sense of how much to fork over when kids start losing teeth.And, as always, if you have thoughts, you can find me at katea@huffpost.com.Read these!
