This was discussed here not too long ago:
Even the tooth fairy feels inflation’s bite. The price per baby tooth is 22% steeper today than it was a year ago.
That’s according to a new tooth fairy poll from Securian Dental, which runs dental plans.
The poll, which included 647 parents, shows that the tooth fairy pays $2.09 per baby tooth, on average, up from $1.71 last year.
Most parents said they pay $1 per tooth. The second most common payment was $5 per tooth.
Then there were the outliers. One parent says the payout is a nickel per tooth. And at the other end of the spectrum, another parent splurges with $50 per tooth.
Kids have 20 baby teeth.
