1. What does the Tooth Fairy do with the teeth?
Some Fairies build tiny castles with them. Some make fairy dust. And some tuck them into secret magical vaults shaped like molars. Fairies have range.
2. How does the Tooth Fairy know a tooth was lost?
Fairy magic gives her a little ding! the moment a child says, “It’s wiggly!” or places a tooth under their pillow.
3. How does she get into the house?
Keyholes, cracks, vents, fairy doors—you name it. She’s flexible. Like a gymnast with wings.
4. What if a child swallows a tooth by accident?
No stress. She accepts drawings, notes, and of course, a Substitooth (which every Tooth Brigade pillow includes!).
5. What if the tooth gets lost?
She has seen every scenario. If the tooth is missing, she still comes. Magic is forgiving. She accepts drawings, notes, and of course, a Substitooth (which every Tooth Brigade pillow includes!).
6. What if a child forgets to put the tooth under the pillow?
She pops by the next night. The Fairy Union strongly discourages rushing.
7. What if she forgets to come?
Oh she doesn't forget, but sometimes traffic and the weather is bananas. But she always returns—like a sparkly boomerang. It is not unusual for the Tooth Fairy to arrive the next night.
8. How much money does she leave?
Totally depends on the family. Some Fairies leave coins, some leave dollars, some leave sweet little surprises.
9. What if the tooth isn’t clean?
Fairies love a sparkly tooth… but they never judge. (Dentists, however…)
10. Does she visit during vacations?
Yes! Tooth loss does not take holidays.
11. What about sleepovers?
Absolutely. She’s exceptionally quiet and highly trained in stealth missions.
12. How old is the Tooth Fairy?
Ancient. Beautifully ancient. Think “timeless fairy glam.”
13. Does she have a name?
Lots! Families name her all sorts of lovely things—and she answers to all of them.
14. Why do some kids get gifts instead of money?
Because Tooth Fairies customize their visits based on family traditions.
15. Why do some kids get more money than others?
Different homes celebrate differently. Just like birthdays or Grandma hugs.
16. Does she keep track of all the teeth?
Oh yes. Her tracking system is part magic, part glitter, part organized chaos.
17. What if a child is a light sleeper?
She’s got Olympic-level “sneakiness.” You won’t even hear a wing flap.
18. Can kids write letters to her?
YES. Fairies love fan mail. Some even write back.
19. How long does she stay?
Just a few seconds—Fairy routes are packed.
20. What if a tooth falls out at school?
Nurses, teachers, envelopes, pockets—she accepts them all. And you can print out a Substitooth, too!
21. Does she come for cavities?
No. Only naturally lost baby teeth.
22. Why do teeth get wiggly?
Because the grown-up tooth underneath is politely saying, “Excuse me, coming through.”
23. What if a child is scared to lose a tooth?
Every wiggle has its moment. The Fairy celebrates bravery, but never rushes.
24. Where does she park?
Anywhere she wants. She’s a Fairy.
25. Does the Tooth Fairy have helpers?
YES—and they’re adorable.
