Yes. I have children and they always put their tooth under the pillow. My husband or I sneak in at night and replace the tooth with $5. The amount is up to the parents. When I was a child I got $1 per tooth.

My oldest children have realized that the tooth fairy isn’t real, but we still do it. Eventually they run out of baby teeth anyway, so they should enjoy it while they can. It’s like a little reward that makes losing the tooth pleasant for them, instead of annoying.

@Kittybytes Thanks so much for the feedback. ｡⁠◕⁠‿⁠◕⁠｡You are telling me! $1 per tooth, haha. That's a good idea. It might be some payments considering all the teeth your children are supposed to lose, it doesn't cost you an arm and leg, though.Time flies so fast, have fun while you and your kids can enjoy their childhood. 🤗

$5 seems to be the going rate these days.My daughter one night was pretending one of her stuffed animals lost a tooth, and wanted me to pretend I was the youth fairy, and put one of her toys under the stuffy's pillow that night. Never stopping to consider I might be doing the same thing to her.

I do not have children, but I believe it is still common to do so

I think so. I definitely did this as a kid.

It’s still common to do so, but with mainly younger children from around the ages 3-11 ( I think), but to answer your question, yes it’s still common.
