Since 1998, Delta Dental has annually conducted the Original Tooth Fairy Poll® as a fun way to gauge how generous the tiny fairy has been in the previous year. The poll asks parents about their children’s dental behaviors, such as how often they visit the dentist and what they know about tooth decay. As a result of these surveys, the Tooth Fairy has gathered many interesting tidbits to share with parents and kids alike!
