Good idea! When I asked Ethan the same question, I was informed that the tooth fairy is building a castle in the sky out of teeth, so she has to collect a lot of teeth from all the children so she can build walls and ceilings and stuff.
Back in my day, you were lucky if the tooth fairy brought you a quarter! Maybe after you lost all your teeth, you'd have enough for a Transformer.
My favorite tooth fairy story was on The American Life once- something like, a girl goes to her mom and says, "I know who the tooth fairy is!" and Mom tentatively says, "Uh, you do?" and the girl says, "YEAH! Janie saw her dad leave the money under her pillow. JANIE'S DAD IS THE TOOTH FAIRY!" and Mom just agrees, like, "Yeah, Janie's dad is the tooth fairy, but he doesn't want anyone to know what a celebrity he is, so keep it a secret and act cool around him," and the girl can, like, hardly contain herself around Janie's dad after that.
