LOL-Don't let the posters on the Dentist thread in DT see this.

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

I'd better keep her away from your practice then

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.

It's always been a £1 coin in our house.

My son had a wobbly tooth in Majorca and asked me what the Majorcan tooth fairy leaves, so I said a 1 euro coin. He was desperate for his tooth to stay in, as he said with the exchange rate, it was more profitable if his tooth fell out at home :rotfl:

It did as well and fell out on our first night home!

For my children I buy little ornaments from charity shops and put them under their pillow. The last one one of them got was a tiny ornament of some teddies sitting round a dinner table which cost me 30p but my daughter was really thrilled with it.

I always left a shiny coin either a twenty pence or fifty pence.

I'm hunting the shiniest coin in the house right now :mad:

must own up - I didn't know that

Stick it in brown sauce - or tomato sauce - or vinegar! (good old vinegar) for a few minutes and it will come up very shiny. (At least I think it will, I know it works on copper!)

Inflation, huh! A shilling in my day, 20p for my eldest, which I think went up to 50p over time, but now it's £1 for my 13 yo who is STILL losing them!

I always give £1 for a baby tooth, unless it needs help! The dentist had to take one out (a molar type at back) that was stuck in a hanging on and painful position and that cost me £5!!

Ach! You got there before me Savvy Sue. I LOVE recommending vinegar. :rotfl:
