Is the tooth fairy real?

Answer:

This is something you need to talk to your parents about.

• Yes the tooth fairy is real. Your dentist knows the fairy quite well and will tell if you do not keep your mouth clean like you should.

• Every child will loose his baby teeth and it is part of growing up to lose them. When you start to lose your baby teeth, ask your parents what to do with them. They will help you find out exactly what the tooth fairy will do.

• The tooth fairy cannot be a fake. If you think about it, all deserving children will sacrifice a tooth for a treat, or even money. The healthier the tooth, the more value it has for the tooth fairy, so for example, if a tooth falls out because it is rotten it will not be worth anything.

• The tooth fairy comes in many shapes and sizes. Sometimes the fairy can be quick and sometimes very slow and clumsy. I have seen a tooth fairy stumble on a toy I left on the floor and there was so much noise that I could not sleep. My tooth was already gone from under my pillow and in it's place was a coin - it was a lot of money in those days.

• I know somebody who lost their tooth in the basin. The next morning, his father opened up the pipe and could not find the tooth, however, there was a small handful of change in the drain. So the tooth fairy can even swap a tooth for money in a drain pipe! Normally, the fairy knows where the tooth came from, so even if you loose your tooth before the tooth fairy arrives, you can probably still find a sweet under you pillow in the mornings.

• No. "Tooth fairies" do not really exist; fairies as a whole do not exist.
