     In our family ( *years* ago, it is quite broken up by now ), my parents
never gave out money for losing primary teeth, as they did not want to 
encourage bad perceptions or habits about dental care.  I would respectfully
suggest that myths about "tooth fairies" be strongly discouraged for that
reason, or at the very least, combined with lectures on the importance of
keeping teeth intact and where they belong!
