The Tooth Fairy is a mythological character of the folklore of many peoples who made gifts to the children when they lose their milk teeth.
Many families contribute to the creation of these myths, as tradition extends in various Western civilizations. For example, in the English-speaking countries, instead of fairies find the "Tooth Fairy." This little animal, whose name quite common, is also called "mouse teeth."
In Italy there is a "tooth fairy" also called Fatina hunting mice (known as Topino). In France, this character is called La Petite Souris (little mouse).
In Ireland there is also a tooth fairy, although more recent tradition. And in Lowland Scotland, found a similar custom to the mouse or the tale: it is a white rat who buy children's teeth with small coins.

rituals of the "tooth fairy" typically include 1) the child who has lost a tooth place it under your pillow and 2) that the child, the next morning, find a coin or a small note on the site where he had placed his tooth last night.
A less known variant indicates that the guy can put his tooth in a glass next to his bed. In the morning, inside the container will find the desired currency. This option is easier, given that parents will always be easier to take the tooth of a glass and drop currency there to look under the pillow, running the risk that the child is awake.
The usefulness of the "tooth fairy" is to offer a small reward to children who lost natural teeth because this fact may be traumatic or distressing to them. It is a way to "mitigate" the effects of body changes.
