51.9% girls) who had lost at least one deciduous tooth received a self-developed questionnaire; 1274 questionnaires were returned (35 .2%) .  \nMain outcome measures: Primary outcome variables were the Tooth Fairy’s visit after tooth loss and the amount of money given in case of a visit. Child-and parent-related variables were assessed as predictors of the main outcomes.  \nResults: Most parents (71 . 0%) reported that the Tooth Fairy visited their child. She usually exchanged the lost tooth for money (55.8% of visits) or placed money next to the tooth (40.7%); rarely did she take the tooth without pecuniary substitution. The Tooth Fairy left an average of 7.20 Swiss francs (approximately AU$9 . 45) . The Tooth Fairy favoured visiting for the teeth of older children (odds ratio [OR], per year, 1.87; 95% CI, 1.09e3.21), of boys (OR, 2.65; 95% CI, 1.09e6.42), and of children who believed in her (OR, 4 .12; 95% CI, 1 .77e9 . 64) . The amount of money was influenced by maternal, but not paternal socio-demographic factors, including level of education (OR, per level, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.66e0 . 92) and country of origin (OR, Western countries v nonWestern countries, 2 .35; 95% CI, 1 .20e4 . 62) .  \nConclusions: The Tooth Fairy does not visit all children after tooth loss, displaying clear preferences in her choice of business partners. The odds of a visit are dramatically increased if she is believed in, and the value of a deciduous tooth is influenced by socio-demographic factors.  \nTooth Fairy guilty of favouritism!  \nRaphael Patcas1, Hubertus JM van Waes1 ,2, Moritz M Daum3 ,4, Markus A Landolt3 ,5  \nF  \nairies, who generally live in Fairyland,1 made their first recorded appearance in the 14th century.2 In contrast to the company of the less philanthropic pixies, visits by  \nfairies are generally welcome because of their well known affluence and generosity. The Tooth Fairy is a prominent member of the fairy family and has dedicated her professional career to the exchange of exfoliated deciduous teeth for money. The visit of the Tooth Fairy indeed constitutes a vital element in the lives of many children;3 as a personification of magical generosity, she is surpassed only by Santa Claus.4 But, compared with Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy has to date received little scholarly attention.  \nThe importance of the Tooth Fairy’s visit cannot be overstated. She exposes children to the idea of capitalism at a very early age, introducing and familiarising them with concepts of private  \nproperty, voluntary exchange, capital accumulation, and a price system. Yet tooth trading is, in its essence, morally problematic. In contrast to Santa Claus, who rewards good conduct with presents, the Tooth Fairy teaches children that anything, even their own body, can be turned into cash.4  \nA recent report revealed that Santa Claus rewards children indiscriminately (ie, not according to how nice or naughty they have been in the previous year), and that he is less likely to visit children in hospitals located in deprived areas.5 This is shocking news. Asthe Tooth Fairy plays a key role in presenting the principles of economics to young children, a careful analysis of her job performance is a dire necessity. The aim of this study was therefore to determine how many children the Tooth Fairy actually visits, the child-related factors that influence the likelihood of a visit by the Tooth Fairy, and the parental factors that influence the amount of money the Tooth Fairy is willing to offer.
