Most people know the Tooth Fairy collects teeth.
Very few know why.
Every lost tooth holds something special: courage, kindness, patience, creativity, and wonder. Watch the short film and discover what the Tooth Fairy really does with them.
The Tooth Fairy's Secret Workshop
What does the Tooth Fairy
really do with your teeth?
Every lost tooth holds something invisible. Something the Tooth Fairy is specifically looking for — a quality that grew inside the tooth while it was yours.
A tooth from a child who faced something scary holds courage. One from a child who shared something holds kindness. The Tooth Fairy takes these qualities and puts them back into the world, quietly, where they're needed most.
Courage
The bravery to try something scary
Kindness
The warmth to care for others
Creativity
The spark to imagine something new
Patience
The stillness to wait for what matters
Which virtue is in yours?
Two quick questions. The answer might surprise you.
The boy who had to know the truth about the Tooth Fairy.
When his tooth falls out one quiet evening, a curious boy named Arlo decides to write a letter to find out the truth. What he discovers is stranger, more beautiful, and more useful than he expected — and it changes how he sees every tiny tooth that came before it.
An animated short film in collaboration with Peter H. Reynolds and FableVision Studios.

The ToothSafe
During their adventure in the Tooth Fairy's workshop, Arlo was given the first ToothSafe — a small keeper for the tooth waiting back home. Something that would hold it safely, make it findable, and feel like it deserved to be found. He woke the next morning to find it under his pillow.
