Editing Tooth fairy (section)

==Appearance==
Unlike [[Santa Claus]] and, to a lesser extent, the [[Easter Bunny]], there are few details of the Tooth Fairy's appearance that are consistent in various versions of the myth. A 1984 study conducted by [[Rosemary Wells]] revealed that most -- 74% of those surveyed -- believed the Tooth Fairy to be female, while 12% believed the Tooth Fairy to be neither male nor female, and 8% believed the Tooth Fairy could be either male or female.<ref name="Toledo Blade">{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=FkdSAAAAIBAJ&pg=3809,192140&dq=tooth-fairy&hl=en|title=Tooth Fairy Lore Extracted|date=2 February 1984|work=[[Toledo Blade]] |first=Lynda |last=Brooker}}</ref> When asked about her findings regarding the Tooth Fairy's appearance, Wells explained: "You've got your basic Tinkerbell-type Tooth Fairy with the wings, [[wand]], a little older and whatnot. Then you have some people who think of the tooth fairy as a man, a bunny rabbit, or a mouse."<ref name="The Milwaukee Journal">{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=4zcdAAAAIBAJ&pg=6626,6866738&dq=tooth-fairy&hl=en|title=The tooth fairy: friend or foe?|date=31 July 1991|work=[[The Milwaukee Journal]]}}{{Dead link|date=August 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> One review of published children's books and popular artwork found the Tooth Fairy to be depicted in many various forms, including as a child with wings, a [[pixie]], a [[dragon]], a blue mother-figure, a flying [[ballerina]], two little older men, a dental hygienist, occasionally a female dentist, a potbellied flying man smoking a cigar, a bat, a bear, and others. Unlike the well-established imagining of Santa Claus, differences in renderings of the Tooth Fairy are not as upsetting to children.<ref name=Wells/>

===Depiction on coins and currency===
Starting in 2011, the [[Royal Canadian Mint]] began selling special sets for newborn babies, birthdays, wedding anniversaries, "O Canada", and the Tooth Fairy. The Tooth Fairy quarters, which were issued only in 2011 and 2012, were packaged separately.<ref>[http://www.ebay.com/sch/sis.html?_nkw=2012%20CANADA%20Tooth%20Fairy%20Gift%20Sett%20Special%20quarter%20reverse%20Mint%20sealed%20&_itemId=200712964004 2012 CANADA Tooth Fairy Gift Sett Special quarter reverse Mint sealed | eBay]</ref>
