If anyone does use it with their kids:
a) There's a sneaky secret admin page linked at the bottom ('Change settings') where you can set a price-per-tooth and add a custom question for them to answer: https://tf230.matteason.co.uk/admin
b) Please send me a copy of their answers, I'd love to see their drawings! There's a download link on the confirmation page and you can email me at the bottom of the same page. Actually this goes for adults' drawings too because a few people have sent me theirs and they're hilarious
One of the minor villains in my D&D campaign is a literal living nightmare - one of three. Each one is named after a time of night when they appear, and this one is named 2:30 - because he really likes the nightmare where your teeth all fall out.
He's the spookiest one of them all, but the least dangerous.
Also, the tooth chart is an adult chart (32 teeth), not a child chart (24 teeth).
In any case, nice job and thanks for sharing!
Localisation is a great idea, I've created an issue: https://github.com/matteason/tooth-reimbursement-service/iss...
This brings back an embarrassing memory from childhood.
Playing football in the yard, a careless neighborhood kid accidentally knocked two of my baby teeth out.
I remember scouring the grass for them to no avail, then getting in a rage about how I wouldn't get tooth fairy money, so punched the boy, and he started crying and ran home. I don't even remember who it was, but to this day feel bad about that.
When I got home, my parents said it's no problem, just write a letter explaining what happened and the tooth fairy will understand. And that worked.
Being a deviant, I decided to test it a few days later with another letter in secret, to no avail. And that was my first inclination this whole thing wasn't real.
Hopefully that's not the part of thr story you feel embarrassed about.
Knowingly making a false claim is a criminal offence under Section 17B(2) of the Teeth Finance & Renewal Act (1978) and you may be prosecuted, jailed, or blasted into space.
Should there perhaps be a way to indicate the type of tooth and a chart showing numbering for baby teeth?
My daughter was very worried that she might lose her tooth and swallow it, so I told her that the sewer mermaids have an agreement with the tooth fairy, and they'd deliver the tooth to her, and then she would deliver the money.
My child didn't buy it, but maybe ya'll's will be more believing :p
There's plenty of prior art depicting rabbit-sized Easter bunnies painting and loading eggs onto baskets and most kids have heard of the idea of Santa Claus having a workshop staffed by elves so I guess it's no big leap (or hop?) to deduct that there must be more than just one bunny involved, although you can argue about the relative time cost of hiding presents in multiple places compared to having to sneak into a building.
