History Main / ToothFairy

* ''WesternAnimation/LegendQuest'': In "[[Recap/LegendQuestS1E7ToothFairy Tooth Fairy]]", the MonsterOfTheWeek are the Bactus, insectile, tooth-eating creatures loosely based on the "tooth trolls" from ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karius_and_Bactus Karius and Bactus]]''. Teodora convinces them that, with an image change, kids will ''give'' them unwanted teeth.

* ''Film/{{Transformers}}'': A young girl mistakes Ironhide, who landed in her home's swimming pool, for the tooth fairy.

* ''Series/ThisIsUs'': In a flashback in [[Recap/ThisIsUsS6E16FamilyMeeting "Family Meeting"]], Kevin loses seven teeth, Randall five and Kate none. All three kids are uncomfortable with the concept of a nocturnal intruder who collects their teeth and leaves cash behind. Kevin devises a scheme to trap the Tooth Fairy. Their mother, Rebecca, allows Kevin to think his plan almost succeeded, but she lets Randall see the truth of the situation: that Rebecca is the one who collects the teeth and leaves the cash.
* ''Series/TheTwilightZone1985'': In "Tooth and Consequences", the Tooth Fairy appears in Dr. Myron Mandel's office after his failed suicide attempt and offers to give him anything that he wants. Myron wishes to be liked and respected by his patients and for Lydia Bixby to fall madly in love with him. [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor The constant adulation soon proves to be too much for Myron]] and he hops a freight train. He meets five homeless men who turn out to be former dentists who had their own run-ins with the Tooth Fairy. Myron learns that he was just a pawn in the Tooth Fairy's scheme to get dentists out of the way so that he will have more business.

* ''WebVideo/CafaeLatte'': The Tooth Fairy has shown up in a few episodes. She was born with mutism and effectively exiled from the Fae Realm because of her disability, only to become incredibly rich from reselling human teeth. She's also a member of Cyrus' book club.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs'': Two different Tooth Fairies appear in two separate episodes. In one episode, a Tooth Fairy is sought after to help ease Baby Smurf's teething pains, but she is held prisoner in a cave by a door that can't be removed unless somebody solves the algebraic problem presented on it. In another episode, Sassette loses her first tooth, and Gargamel kidnaps and disguises himself as the other Tooth Fairy in order to get his hands on the Smurfs.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'': Discussed in "[[[[Recap/ArthurS3E10AttackOfTheTurboTibblesDWTricksTheToothFairy D.W. Tricks the Tooth Fairy]]", where D.W. tries to fool the Tooth Fairy into thinking she's lost a tooth when she hasn't by using a shark tooth she bought from the museum.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'': The Tooth Fairy is the only fairy in Fairy World to do that job, and does not take it lightly when someone else takes up her job. Her future husband Jorgen only did that when he tried to pull out Timmy's loose buck teeth, which was considered worth a diamond, because he wanted to use that as a wedding ring to her.
* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'': In "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS5E6PrickUpYourEars Prick Up Your Ears]]", Stewie becomes obsessed with trying to capture the Tooth Fairy. He doesn't succeed but we do see the Tooth Fairy, who appears as a shabbily dressed man with a creepy obsession of rolling around in a large pile of teeth he's collected over the years.

* ''WesternAnimation/ErnestEtCelestine'': Mice collect the teeth of bears so that they can be used by mouse dentists to replace the teeth other that mice lose.

* Putting a tooth under a pillow at night actually does work. You don't even have to fall asleep. Money will simply appear under the pillow soon after. Some non-believing parents however replace the teeth with money themselves while the child is asleep.
