The tooth fairy is a fantasy figure of early childhood. The folklore says that when children lose one of theirbaby teeth, they should place it underneath their pillow and the tooth fairy will visit while they sleep,replacing the lost tooth with a small payment.

The tradition of leaving a tooth under a pillow for the tooth fairy to collect is practiced in various countries inEnglish-speaking countries.
