Tooth Fairy Day occurs on February 28th and/or August 22

Tooth Fairy Day celebrates one of childhood's favourite visitors. The Tooth Fairy is an
American tradition with European and superstitious roots.

In short: The Tooth Fairy is a mythical character depicted as a fairy that gives a child
money or gifts in exchange for a baby tooth that has fallen out. Children typically
place the tooth under their pillow at night while they sleep. The fairy is said to take
the tooth from under the pillow and replace it with money.

Losing baby teeth is a sometimes traumatic experience for young children. Enter
the world of the friendly, smiling and 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. It is often put it into a "tooth box"
or placed into a slipper underneath the bed.

It is also traditional that at bedtime, the child may put the tooth under her pillow.
The tooth fairy comes after the child falls asleep. She 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. She magically knows each time a baby tooth falls out, and
will arrive that night , even if the child is away, or on vacation.

There is ongoing debate whether the Tooth Fairy is a male or a female. But, it's
pretty obvious. "She" is most definitely a female.
