THE BOTTOM LINE

The tooth fairy’s going rate is outstripping inflation by several orders of magnitude. Children this year are getting an average of $3.70 per lost tooth, a 23 percent increase from 2012 and a 42 percent increase from 2011. Child-care experts said parents are driving up the per-tooth cost because of competitiveness with other parents and guilt over long work hours.
