February 28th is certainly a day to smile about, so show those pearly whites (or lack thereof)! It’s National Tooth Fairy Day, a time to honor the beloved nighttime visitor of children all over the world. Losing baby teeth is a time of excitement and also anxiety; the character of the Tooth Fairy helps to allay any fears a little one might have with the promise of money or a little present left under the pillow at night in exchange for the tooth.

There is much debate about whether the Tooth Fairy is a man or a woman, but does it really matter as long as the tutu fits?! We like to think that the Tooth Fairy is exactly what you imagine, be that delicate little pixie or someone that is a little more, err, substantial in his style. And that brings us to the “Rock” and his muscle-enhanced portrayal of this magical being of teeth. In this kid’s movie, released January 22, 2010,, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson plays a tough hockey player who is fulfilling a 1 week punishment for misconduct by serving as the tooth fairy. Wearing the stereotypical Tooth Fairy costume complete with tutu, wings and a magical wand, Johnson puts a clumsy yet comedic spin on the everyday duties of the Tooth Fairy. The motto of the movies is “The tooth hurts”, but we don’t want to be a spoiler, so you’ll have to find out what happens by taking your kids to the movie!

 There are lots of fittingly funny Tooth Fairy costumes for men and women alike, most look like white ballerina outfits sometimes embellished with a big satiny molar on the bodice. Add some great accessories from Costume Machine to your Tooth Fairy costume and become the fluttering ambassador of baby teeth adored by kiddos everywhere. Wear sneakers or high heels (whatever your preference), and add a pair of pliers around your neck along with some dollars for rewarding children’s lost teeth.
