The Germophobic Tooth Fairy Sarah Chelten

The Germophobic Tooth Fairy is an amusing story about a young tooth fairy in training to collect teeth from under children's pillows. It is a duty he was born to do, but his fear of germs makes it impossible to do his job. On his first day on the job, he runs into a very unclean mouth. During his declaration of a "tooth fairy strike" to voice his disgust with the child's lack of oral hygiene, the young fairy accidentally wakes up the small child; the fairy scolds the child for his lack of oral care, then he feels badly he's hurt the boy's feelings. The little fairy tries to make the child feel better, giving the tot some hands-on lessons about how to properly care for his mouth. In the end, he helps the child, and he overcomes his fear of germs as well.
