2 verifications about Tooth Fairy Tooth Fairy ×
“The tooth fairy collects baby teeth placed under a pillow.”
The statement matches a widely documented folklore tradition: children put baby teeth under a pillow, and the Tooth Fairy is said to collect them. The evidence does not support a literal real-world being performing the act, and the custom is culturally specific rather than universal. As a description of the tradition, it is accurate.
“Baby teeth placed under a pillow are usually collected by a child's parents or guardians.”
Available evidence supports the ordinary meaning of the statement. In the under-pillow tooth fairy tradition, parents or guardians are typically the ones who remove the tooth and leave a reward. Some families handle the ritual differently, and many cultures use other tooth-loss customs entirely, but those exceptions do not overturn the usual pattern described here.
