$20 per tooth is ridiculous. $1 or $2 is sufficient.

Think I used to get 20 or 50 cents as a kid but that was a long time ago...

We wanted to pay a bit more for the first tooth, to make it really special for our son. Then our daughter came along and we couldn't remember how much the first tooth was supposed to be. We really need to start writing these things down!

I must be ancient. We got sixpence/ 5 cents a tooth and thought that a miracle.
