Budget-Friendly Tooth Fairy Ideas

The average tooth is worth $3.70 from the tooth fairy. With over 20 baby teeth that will fall out, being the tooth fairy can be an expensive job! If you are looking for a cheaper option to reward your child for losing a tooth, our southern Missouri dentist has some great ideas for you! Take a look below to find some budget-friendly ideas for all you dedicated tooth fairies out there!

Books from the Thrift Store

Many thrift stores offer books for a low price point. It's a great way to give the gift of an educational item! Visit your local thrift store to stock up on discount books in exchange for your child's tooth. It's a fun way to add to their library and reward them for losing a tooth. You never know, you may even find a great book about proper oral care!

Discount Toy

While you're at the thrift store, you may snag a few cheap toys! An inexpensive toy is a fun way to promote playing and creativity for your child. When they lose a tooth, leave an exciting new (or gently used) toy for them to enjoy as they wake the next morning! It's exciting for everyone!

Special Treat

Sugar-free bubble gum is a great way to treat your child when losing a tooth. Sugar-free gum is better for your child's teeth than sugar-filled candy. Gum can actually help clean off your child's teeth. Of course not as much as brushing and flossing, so don't forget that! If they have another tooth getting lose, the gum may help that tooth work its way out!

Fun Sticker

Who doesn't love a colorful sticker? Consider giving your child a sticker of their favorite character in exchange for their tooth. It's a great way to save money and give an exciting gift. They will be looking forward to what sticker is coming with the next tooth they lose!

Add to a Collection

Does your child collect something? Rocks, beads, and marbles are all great items to add to your child's favorite collection. These inexpensive items can help encourage your kid by gifting something they want, versus money.
