Seven Tips to Seduce a Tooth Fairy

​1. The tooth fairy will only come if you put a real tooth under your pillow. No fakes from dentures. Not a dog's either. If you really want to impress her, use ones with gold fillings like I do.

2. Hide a net under your pillow. Don’t try handcuffs. She’s not into that.

3. Set the mood with candles. Sure, you can use a nightlight, but this will make her think you’re twelve. The candles will also help her see how much effort you put into flossing and brushing your teeth.

4. Apply cologne. I have it from a good source she likes Old Spice.

5. Wait until she reaches under the pillow to give you a quarter to open your eyes. That is the moment to lean in for a kiss.
​
6. Whatever you do, don't disappoint her. She came for a tooth. She’s leaving with one. You don’t want her taking one from your mouth—like she did with mine.

7. If at first you don't succeed, remember, you still have thirty-one more teeth and a pair of pliers.
