We do not have a tooth fairy in Japan, so it was a totally new experience for me to be a tooth fairy (in fact my husband is the real tooth fairy). I did a little market research to find out how much a tooth fairy should give. It starts from 50 pence to 2 pounds, so we decided to give a pound. Personally I think 2 pounds is a bit too much!
In Japan, we throw teeth over the top of roof if it is a bottom tooth and we bury it in ground if it is an upper tooth. We believe that doing this encourages the new tooth to grow quickly.
