Santa Claus can be traced back to Saint Nicholas, born around 280 CE, and the Easter Bunny arrived in the United States with German immigrants during the 1700s, but the very earliest reference to the Tooth Fairy appears in a Chicago Daily Tribune "Household Hints" column from September 1908. The Tooth Fairy is younger than you might expect.Ĭompared to the two other main figures in modern American mythology, the Tooth Fairy is the new kid on the block. In the United States, children who leave a newly lost tooth under their pillow know to expect a nocturnal visit from the Tooth Fairy, who might leave a shiny quarter, a new toothbrush, or perhaps even a crisp $20 bill! But how did this tradition begin, and what is a tooth really worth? Here are 13 bite-sized facts about our favorite dainty dental dealer. Here’s hoping that this is the start of something special with this franchise.Losing a tooth can be a scary experience, so it’s no surprise that parents throughout history have created rituals to celebrate this rite of passage.

However, it deserves credit for making a lot of effort and turning an awful villain into something that can actually be scary. ![]() The original trio of the Tooth Fairy movies were poor, at times exceptionally poor, so there’s an argument that Tooth Fairy: Queen of Pain didn’t have to do much to improve upon things. The cosy break that the teachers had planned for the kids is about to go off the rails.Ī major step-up in almost every department, Tooth Fairy: Queen of Pain is an important refresh of the franchise.
