The first known accounts of the idea of a Tooth Fairy originated in Arabia in the 1300s. To this day, in Islamic countries, parents continue to toss lost teeth in the air, a practice dating well before the advent of Islam.
However, the tradition of paying children for teeth (or rewarding children for such) is seen in the Viking culture as early as the 7th Century.
During the profoundly superstitious Middle Ages, several myths surrounded the loss of teeth. At this time, children began leaving them under their pillows for a prize, and parents left a trail of fairy dust for the children to find in the morning.
The Tooth Fairy is genuinely an international myth that borrows from traditions worldwide. No single culture is responsible for the myth; it grew with the global trade routes.
