National Tooth Fairy Day – and/or February 28 and/or August 22
National Tooth Fairy Day celebrates one of childhood’s favorite visitors. The Tooth Fairy an American tradition with European and superstitious roots.
Losing baby teeth can be a traumatic experience for young children. Enter the world of the friendly, soothing Tooth Fairy. As a young child’s first baby tooth becomes lose, the child often fears losing it. The promise of a visit from the Tooth Fairy and a gift, turns the occasion into something to look forward to. When the tooth finally falls out, mom cleans it off. Then the tooth is often put into a “tooth box”. At bedtime, the child puts the tooth under there pillow. The tooth fairy comes after the child falls asleep. The Tooth Fairy takes the tooth and leaves a small gift, usually money. The tooth fairy leaves a gift every time the child loses a tooth.
If the tooth is literally lost in some way, don’t worry. The Tooth Fairy always knows, and will still leave a gift. The Tooth Fairy magically knows each time a baby tooth falls out, and will arrive that night , even if the child is away at grandmas, or on vacation.
Did you know there is ongoing debate whether the Tooth Fairy is a male or a female. I’s pretty obvious. “The Tooth Fairy” is most definitely a female.
The Tooth fairy delivers over $700 million dollars a year to children in the U.S., in exchange for a child’s baby teeth.
History and Origin of National Tooth Fairy Day:
Our research did not find the creator, or the origin of National Tooth Fairy Day. The tooth fairy dates back hundreds of years, probably to at least Medieval times. We were amazed that the tooth fairy was not found in the encyclopedia.
Is National Tooth Fairy Day February 28th, or August 22nd? Documentation on websites is fairly evenly divided, with slightly more recording it on February 28th. Some very reputable and authoritative sites differ on the date. Until we find further documentation, or the creator of this holiday, feel free to celebrate it on either date or both!
Thank you,
