Why does the Tooth Fairy pay for child’s teeth?

Why does the Tooth Fairy pay more for another child’s teeth? Recently, there was a great controversy about how much the Tooth Fairy should leave under children’s pillows when they lose their baby teeth. We know that in the Hispanic world, it is customary to gift children some coins once they lose their baby teeth. This tradition helps alleviate what could be considered a child’s first trauma—the loss of their teeth.

It all started when Guille’s father found out that Borja’s Tooth Fairy had left him 50 dollars per tooth, while his son only received 2 dollars. “Why did the Tooth Fairy pay more for Borja’s teeth?” Guille asked, feeling distraught.

Guille’s father, somewhat upset, wrote a letter to the Tooth Fairy through Facebook, which went viral. In the letter, he asked for “restraint from those mice that leave so much money” because the “positive objective of the tradition” could have the opposite effect if some children find one or two dollars under their pillows while others discover true fortunes.

Recently, the Tooth Fairy responded to Guille’s father’s letter:

Dear Father of Guille,

I’m sorry that you feel bad about the little gifts I left for Borja under his pillow. It was not my intention to offend. Borja’s teeth were truly unique pieces. That boy brushes his teeth twice a day and takes care to keep them healthy. Borja’s father used dental insurance to take him to the dentist frequently, where he received fluoride treatment.

Twice a year, he scheduled prophylactic cleanings, and in addition to that, those highly valued little teeth had sealants that protected their enamel.

Unfortunately, Guille’s teeth were dirty, decayed, with remnants of sugar. They never visited a dentist, and still, I left him two dollars.

Well, it’s in your hands to ensure your child’s dental health. The most affordable way to achieve that is to have dental insurance that covers the necessary preventive treatments for children.
