Related Myths

This article says "in some Asian countries, such as China ...." etc, people throw the baby teeth up into the air or down onto the ground. I live in Nanxun and asked every single person I know if they ever heard of this - people here, people in Beijing, Shanghai, Haerbin, Chengdu, and Shenzhen.

Not a single one had ever heard that.

So I'm not going to remove it but Real Life™ Experience says this statement is hogwash. 203.160.69.56 (talk) 13:44, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There is no source given for the claim in the article. I'm inclined to think we should just delete it. John M Baker (talk) 18:13, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the paragraph. Of course if anyone can find a source, we can re-add material based on it. —Granger (talk · contribs) 19:16, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

amount; program

It would be of interest to have (documented) data on how much the TF leaves. In the fifties, I got a dime (US); a recent NPR program says the rate is about $6 now (US).

On 4 March, NPR's Weekend Edition devoted a few minutes to the TF. 2600:6C67:1C00:5F7E:1C0B:C22A:E490:C0DB (talk) 15:22, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@2600:6c67:1c00:5f7e:1c0b:c22a:e490:c0db: Thanks for this suggestion. I've added some information to the article about how the reward is affected by inflation. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 16:28, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Casing

Almost every mention in article prose is cased like a proper name ("Tooth Fairy"), yet the article is at title "Tooth fairy". I have no motivation to perform a source analysis, but this ngram seems to indicate it would be inconclusive. Can someone either move the page to the Title Case title or sentence case the article prose? Folly Mox (talk) 03:55, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
