This Day in History: 2025-02-28

Tooth-Fairy Day. At some point in life, we were all visited by a tooth-fairy. So it is not surprising that somewhere along the way the idea of introducing a day in honor of this villa was born. The story of the tooth-fairy dates back to the Middle Ages, although the exact origin of the story is not known. In fact, the fairy may have just been a means of calming a child who was going through a strange phase of tooth loss (after all, we’ve all been through it). Still, Tooth-Fairy Day is designed to pay homage to this generous spirit who is known for leaving candy or money under pillows in exchange for every milk tooth that falls out.
