Money for a tooth

Remember when you were a kid and you lost a tooth? And you woke up the next morning to find a dime under your pillow? And remember when your own kid lost a tooth and they woke up the next morning to find, because of inflation, 50 cents or even a dollar under their pillow? Well I lost a tooth Monday, a molar. Darn thing was throbbing and had to come out. The tooth fairy didn't visit me this time. It actually cost me $148. So what happened between kidhood and adulthood? When you got paid for losing a tooth and then things change and you have to pay someone to take one out. Something is not right. Not right at all.
