    Looks like she's got the right ideas! Probably will be a good saver and never in debt. The very best luck to her! Bless.

    My Ds lost his first earlier this year, he's 7. He got £2 for first tooth and £1 thereafter. His friends get anything from 50p to £5!!!!!

    Shiniest £1 coin you can find. It has to be a special coin from the fairy which is why it has to be shiney.

    Sheesh! I thought everyone knew that. :rolleyes:

    If I wobble a baby tooth out for a kid in the chair, I always tell them the tooth fairy leaves a bit more if it comes out at the dentist. Then I smile at the parent scowling back at me :p

    Then, to keep the child in touch with the 21st century, I tell them that they have to bring me in my half the next day! :rotfl:
    How to find a dentist.
    1. Get recommendations from friends/family/neighbours/etc.
    2. Once you have a short-list, VISIT the practices - dont just phone. Go on the pretext of getting a Practice Leaflet.
    3. Assess the helpfulness of the staff and the level of the facilities.
    4. Only book initial appointment when you find a place you are happy with.
