What does the Tooth Fairy give for teeth pulled by the dentist?

My 5 y.o.'s adult teeth are crowding out her baby teeth %26amp; she just had 3 teeth pulled today...any suggestions on what the Tooth Fairy should give for such an occasion?

What does the Tooth Fairy give for teeth pulled by the dentist?
The tooth fairy should give her what she would for a tooth that fell out on its own. Mommy should do something special for her because she went through a rough ordeal that was not of her own making.
Reply:3 dollars

Reply:a dollar a tooth, cause that doesn't sound like fun





then again, my friends gave their son a 2 dollar bill just for one tooth, wow, I remember getting a quarter or something
Reply:3 dollars and some balloons just for being so brave at the dentist office. That's what I did for my 5 year old .
Reply:a lollipop

Reply:A trip to the dentist like that deserves a special treat from mommy too!! The next day I would take her to a movie, or the park, or something special for being brave. Also, let her put the teeth under her pillow and the tooth fairy should leave some cash--maybe a $5 or more.
Reply:5 bucks should do...you may also tell her that the Tooth Fairy got kilt falling off the roof that night too...If she think that the Fairy is dead, she will have no need for teeth money anymore. Problem solved...
Reply:I think the going rate is a quarter but that was when I was a kid. lol I guess its probably like a dollar now or something. :) Oh...I know...if u kept the teeth (which would be kind a yucky but whatever. lol) you can get a pretty little keepsake box to keep them in.
Reply:My kid's tooth fairy gives them $5 no matter what.
Reply:3 times the amount you would normally give. Ouch for your 5 yr old, hope shes not in too much pain.
Reply:This is nonsense. I used to get a dime. Whatever the going rate is, I would say half price because a dentist was involved and it is not a legitimate fall-out.
Reply:$10
Reply:she's getting the credit again that good old tooth fairy been a thorn in my side for a lot of years but being it was a dentist how about gold dollars instead of the usual.. makes it special[ and she's loaded anyway] I'd go with double the value that you give ..for each tooth and take him here and read tooth fairy ....freebie
Reply:A quarter,a brand new toothbrush with the likeness of her favorite character or of her favorite color, and a cupon for lots of hugs and kisses from mom and dad. Poor baby, hope she's doin okay.(presuming she's not feeling too well. . . )
Reply:Is there any toy (reasonabley priced) that your daughter would like to have? If so, I would leave an ammount that would pay for the toy under her pillow. It seems like a logical way to go about the situation.
Reply:since she was most likely more braver than most adults. give her five bucks under her pillow as the tooth fairy hires dentists to work for them when more than one tooth comes out. buy her a toy she may have wanted also for her bravery.
Reply:Beautiful is right i once read that the child should get a $1 per tooth-----------sooo he/she just earned three bucks...what i way of earning a living ha!!! i rather be broke!!LOL
Reply:For that I think a small toy might be more exciting than the usual money.
Reply:I got a dollar a tooth.
Reply:for one, ice hot pk, u dont give a kid who kust been to the dentist's office a lollipop! and ummm.....tell her that she was brave and.....buy her a stuffed animal and have a mommy and daughter day and maybe give her 3$.
Reply:As a mom of two who are now older I have to say one thing up front, be careful what you start as that will be the expectation from here on out. My son had to have several teeth pulled and we did tend to give him a treat afterwards due to his being so good at the dentist. We made it something small and never candy as they get lectured at the dentist for eating candy, drinking soda etc. I didn't want them to feel guilty for their treat. As far as cash goes we did a dollar a tooth as kids expect so much these days in allowance and such that we didn't want them to go on expecting huge dollars every time they have to undergo the dentist or anything out of the ordinary. We have given a 2 dollar bill because they are so cool as well in the past but never a lot of money as it seems to take on a life of its own. Kids learn early to negotiate and expect certain rewards, - it is all in what you are comfortable with and can afford. We also learned it is easier to find a nifty tooth holder for the tooth fairy as one child is a light sleeper and it was hard to sneak in. I found a cute tooth shaped pillow with a pocket in it which made it so much easier to take out and tuck in - plus it makes a neat keepsake for them.
Reply:tooth fairy lore has amused children for a long time now. putting a baby tooth under the pillow and waking to find some monetary gift is exciting for a child. dentist pulled teeth should be no different. provided the dentist relinquishes the actual tooth(teeth) some dentists are reluctant to give out pulled teeth. some break up upon extraction. why not treat these teeth the same as lost teeth ??? have fun with them as long as you can. the age of innocents vanishes quickly
Reply:u should give her $5 and have a little get together with the immediate family, with cake, and balloons.
Reply:It all depends on how rich the Tooth Fairy is.


However, the expectation of the receiver outweighs the expectation of the giver.


So to keep the receiver happy is to offer "silver", as this is the symbol for a long and fruitful life!!
Reply:nothin well mabe 5 bucks
Reply:$0.00 the dentist pulled it! the tooth fairy only comes when they fall becuase the fairy wants it.(naturally)..according to my 7 and 8 year old daughters.





The going rate is 5 bucks a tooth!
Reply:The tooth fairy leaves $10 a tooth for the first 2 at my house, then she gets cheap, lol. She leaves only $1.00. But with the dentist having to pull them, I would say they are worth at least $5.00.
Reply:Five per tooth that had to be traumatic! My 7 yr old was suppose to get his pulled but even with sedative and the gas he was getting so upset the denist stopped and said he wouldn't do it. That my son was just too upset and recommended put him to sleep for it.
