National Tooth Fairy Day is observed on February 28 of every year. National Tooth Fairy Day is a day to look back on the history of dental care’s little helpers and to encourage our children to develop proper dental hygiene. Kids love the excitement of waking up to a gift from a fairy in exchange for a lost tooth. It’s a fun myth; who wouldn’t like it!? It’s just as fun for the parents and adults also. In some parts of the world, it is also celebrated on August 22.
“I believe in everything until it’s disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it’s in your mind. Who’s to say that dreams and nightmares aren’t as real as the here and now?” – John Lennon
History of National Tooth Fairy Day
The creator or inventor of National Tooth Fairy Day is still unknown. In 1927, Esther Watkins Arnold made the tooth fairy to real life in an eight-page playlet called “The Tooth Fairy.” Simultaneously, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle made his claim that fairies and gnomes were real by publishing pictures of two girls surrounded by “verified” fairies. In the following year, schools started to perform Arnold’s Play, and children placed their lost teeth under their pillows at night in the hopes of a visit from the tooth fairy.
Everyone in the world will love a good story. Fairies are familiar with myths and legends in some parts of the world, and they have fascinated us for centuries. The mystery and magic captivate kids and adults alike. It’s fun to tap into the kid in us and listen to these magical stories, and believe these myths. Losing a tooth is a scary one when you are a little kid, but when you know losing a tooth means waking up to some money or a small gift, it seems worth it. The idea of the Tooth Fairy encourages kids to cope with what could be a scary experience for them and a difficult one for parents.
