At this rate, by 2048, the Tooth Fairy would be paying $30 a tooth.
– not even the tooth fairy.
According to the 2023 Original Tooth Fairy Poll by Delta Dental, the average amount paid for a single lost tooth increased 16% over the past year from $5.36 to $6.23, a new record in the poll’s 25-year history. When the poll began, the average gift left by the Tooth Fairy was $1.30. That means the value of a single lost tooth has gone up an eye-popping 379%."Given the projection, it would be in the Tooth Fairy’s best interest to invest in a larger purse," said Gabriella Ferroni, senior director of strategic communications for Delta Dental Plans Association. According to Delta Dental, the Tooth Fairy Poll has historically mirrored the current economic trends, particularly the S&P 500.
