The tooth fairy is a tale to tell children what happens when they lose a tooth. Typically, children at the age of 6 will start to lose their milk teeth. They are naturally anxious about losing their tooth and some bleeding may cause them sleepless nights. 
Hence, the tooth fairy will come and give some tooth money in exchange for a tooth that has fallen out. Such a story tends to make children happier, smiling ear to ear even when they have missing teeth! Aren’t they adorable!
