According to Advantage Dental, "The legend of the tooth fairy dates to the Middle Ages (500-1500 c.e.) when parents thought it was important to dispose of children’s teeth in a way witches could not possess them. It was believed witches would use lost baby teeth to cast spells on the children. Teeth would be disposed of by burying them or feeding them to rodents."
In the Middle Ages, Vikings believed baby teeth brought good luck. They would offer coins in exchange for a child's lost tooth, then string the teeth onto necklaces to wear into battle.
La Bonne Petite Souris, a French bedtime story from the 17th century, tells of a fairy that could change into a mouse who helped the Queen defeat an evil King. The fairy/mouse would hid under the evil king's pillow, then while he slept, the mouse would nibble on his face and mouth, ultimately knocking out his teeth.
In the mid-1920s the Tooth Fairy appeared in advertisements and health classes. Then in 1927, a three-act playlet for children, titled "The Tooth Fairy", and photographs published by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle of the "verified" Cottingley Fairies, brought the modern day version of the Tooth Fairy to life.
I remember the excitement of getting a quarter under my pillow from the tooth fairy. Oh wait, I guess I'm telling my age. Nowadays the tooth fairy is wayyyyyyy more generous! I've heard kids today get several dollars! Sometimes they'll even get cool toys!
Keep the Tooth Fairy happy and generou$ by keeping your kid's teeth healthy and sparkling!
