The Tooth Fairy

The Tooth Fairy is a mythical character depicted as a fairy that gives a child money in exchange for a baby tooth that has fallen out. Children typically place the tooth under ther pillow at night while they sleep. The fairy is said to take the tooth from under the pillow and replace it with money. The myth in this form is practiced in Australia, Canada, Denmark, England, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, NewZealand, Portugal, South Africa and United States. Fairies are small, flying, human-shaped, supernatural entities who have dragonfly-like wings, wear sexy miniskirts or silk negligees, and perform magic. The Tooth Fairy (TF) is a specialist fairy who, in English speaking countries, leaves cash (or a gift) in exchange for teeth.
