We did a dollar most of the time. When my son had to have a tooth extracted at the dentist (it was growing in very crooked), that one was worth $5 for his pain and suffering. When my daughter was about 8 or 9, she wrote the tooth fairy a letter asking that the rate per tooth be raised to $2. The tooth fairy thought it was so cute that she complied!

I remember getting a dime when I was a kid. That was the price of the ice cream cones at my school's cafeteria, so I was happy.
We paid $1.00 for the first tooth, $.25 after that. Small change for those baby teeth. The real money was what we paid for wisdom teeth removal. Too bad for the kids that all went to the oral surgeon.
It was never anything I felt rated competition among parents, that's for certain. As MacieMom said, just a cute tradition.
Why is the tooth fairy shelling out $20 per tooth? My kids get $2-3, which is still more than necessary. What is the deal with the tooth fairy these days?
The Tooth Fairy here likes to leave blind bag toys. (They're about 3 bucks each.) My child had to have a tooth pulled so the Tooth Fairy sympathized with all the pain and trouble and got her something a lil extra. We have a very caring Tooth Fairy.
I did $5 for the very first tooth as it was new and special to lose the first, and $1 for each additional tooth. I did $0.50 once because the tooth was lost and only a note was left.
My niece got $10-20 per tooth and my daughter asked why she didn't get as much and I told her that she must be on a different route from our house, though she only lives a few miles away. She was fine with that answer.

Sounds about right. I got a quarter, which was the price of an ice cream at school. My kids get $1, also the price of a treat at school.
A dollar is plenty. A dollar coin is fun, if you can get them.
I just read a story to kindergarteners about a bear who loses a tooth. The tooth fairy left him blueberries.
I got 10p when I was a kid, straight up though, no tooth fairy. I reckon I'll give my kid a euro in the same way and keep the teeth like my mum did. I loved looking at those teeth when I got a bit older.
The tooth fairy last visited our house about 6 years ago. The tooth fairy gave between $.50 and $.75, and very occasionally $1. My oldest son figured out the "pattern" to the money (something like $.50 for the first year or two, and then $.75...). I had no idea he was paying attention. I sure wasn't, and it was really random.
I got $.25 in the 70s, so I didn't raise that bar a lot
I had a friend in college who said the tooth fairy "gifted" with a box of ALL her teeth (set up in a way that it looked like a full mouth somehow, not sure if it was glued or the box was conducive to setting it up that way). That seemed really bizarre to me.
