Rituals for the proper disposal of baby teeth have been common all over the world for centuries, but the Tooth Fairy is a uniquely American amalgamation of several myths.
Rodents have long been associated with tooth rituals because of their strong teeth, and one of the Tooth Fairy’s precursors is a character in French folklore called La Petite Souris (The Little Mouse). She has origins in a 17th-century fairy tale, and she functions nearly identically to our Tooth Fairy—taking baby teeth from under pillows and leaving a small sum in return.
The other main folklore element behind the Tooth Fairy are good fairies, like Cinderella’s fairy godmother, which were popular characters in European folktales. These good fairies and The Little Mouse coalesced into the American Tooth Fairy sometime in the early 1900s.
The modern idea of the Tooth Fairy gained traction after World War II, due in part to the increased wealth in that era, and has remained popular ever since.

Fairytales have roots in oral storytelling traditions from various cultures around the world. They often contain magical or mystical elements and are passed down through generations. Many fairytales were later recorded and popularized by authors such as the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen.

It is like a fairytail. I don't want to ruin it for you but the tooth fairy is fake. Read it from Google. That is where I learned it. Your parents give you the money. That is why parents don't get money when their teeth fall out.
