Looks like the pandemic hasn’t made a difference with the Tooth Fairy!
According to Delta Dental’s 23rd annual Tooth Fairy Poll, the national average is now $4.70 per tooth.
That’s up 67 cents from last year, and four cents higher than the old record from 2017.
Kids in the Northeast get the biggest payouts at $5.72 per tooth. Kids out West are next at $5.54, then the South at $4.45 and the Midwest is lower at just $3.66 a tooth.
The survey’s been done every year since 1998, when the average price per tooth was just $1.30.
