Despite recession, Tooth Fairy remains generous
Traditionally, show business and alcohol are thought to be immune to recessions.
It looks like we can add baby teeth to that list. A survey of 1,500 parents nationwide released by Delta Dental of Minnesota found that 86% did not allow economic gloom and doom to impact the Tooth Fairy's payouts. The Tooth Fairy is paying a bounty of $2.13 per tooth this year on average, up 13% from last year.
