According to credit card company Visa, the tooth fairy is leaving 8 percent less cash under the pillow this year. The average now is $3.40 a tooth.

The survey shows dads leave more than moms since they tend to panic and leave whatever’s in their pockets.  

Researchers say the tooth fairy’s clipped wings this year show a drop in consumer confidence.
