The tooth fairy, also known as "Little One" in Gaelic, is a magical creature that comes in the night to exchange a lost baby tooth for money or gifts. Her name is not explicitly stated in most tales, and it is common for multiple fairies to exist, each with their own unique characteristics and preferences.
In many traditions, the tooth fairy is associated with the tradition of Santa Claus, and children often exchange their lost teeth under their pillows for money. The Tooth Fairy leaves the money for children in various ways, often undisclosed to avoid disappointment. In some cases, she leaves behind small gifts, such as sweets or toys, and sometimes she rewards the child for good dental habits.
Although the Tooth Fairy is a fictional character, her presence is a comforting fantasy that reassures children as they grow. It is believed that the tradition of the tooth fairy represents a sense of trustworthiness and nostalgia among children. No matter her name, the tooth fairy remains a beloved figure in the world of children's legends and is fondly remembered by generations to come.
