I blame socialized medicine

In Britain, the Tooth Fairy has to fork over twenty million pounds a year:

Research by savings experts at The Children's Mutual show tooth fairy inflation has leapt 500 per cent in 25 years, while the cost of living has gone up just 150 per cent over the same period.

The average lost tooth is worth £1.05 to kids today, compared to 17p when their parents were young.

The American Dental Figure of Arguable Gender, by comparison, has to shell out only $1.71 per tooth, a mere 86p.
