carinab Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Those of you that are parents will know what I mean...I am almost as excited as she is! My kiddo just lost her first tooth at 7yrs 2mos old. She has a mouth guard box she got at the dojo (where she takes karate) that she put her baby tooth in....so the tooth fairy will be visiting later tonite. BTW, what's the going rate these days....??? Long ago for me it was .25 but I'm thinking it has to be more just based on inflation. Thankfully Dad was the one there when it came out. I think I'd have gotten a bit queasy had it been me. She just walked by me to get a glass of water to put on her night stand for the tooth fairy! That's so she can tell what color fairy dust the tooth fairy has! I gotta' say, I just love the suspension of disbelief that kids have! Being a mom just rocks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSEMARTIN Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 BTW, what's the going rate these days....??? Geez...I don't know. I have the same problem though. My oldest is almost six so I've got to figure this out too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpspeed Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 That is too cool! Going rate around here is $ 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Habicht Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I'm thinking the going rate was one Deutschmark when I was a kid --- which was about equivalent to my weekly allowance..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Keen Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Try and make it something cool, like one of them Presidents Dollars that came out not too long ago. I have a whole roll of the first ones to come out (George Washington). Either way, congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Merricks Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Oh such fond memories. My first one had problems loosing her first tooth so I pulled the pliers out of my range bag and out it came. My youngest just turned 7 and has a loose one but think she will loose it before I get back to the States. I think they are getting about 5 bucks now.

racerba Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 My girl lost two so far and the third and forth are loose. She got 3 presidental dollars for each. That way, she will keep them instead of spending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Norman Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I believe that Webkins were part of the loot. I know some of my daughters friends got way WAY too much as in $20 or so. Even my daughter thought that was outrageous! Being a Dad is the best. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Hello: Front teeth $1 and back ones $3. Start saving for braces now. My 9 year old has them for his top teeth. My 5 year old has gaps in his baby teeth so the dentist said he should be ok. I remember using a closing door to take some of my baby teeth out. Road hockey took my 2 front teeth. It was tuff growing up in Canada Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
