OBS

Dans les contes pour enfants une fée vient chercher la nuit la petite dent de lait qui est tombée et remet à la place un petit cadeau à l'enfant en échange de sa petite dent. Dans les pays anglo-saxons, il s'agit d'une "tooth fairy". En France ce n'est pas une fée mais une petite souris. Au Canada français c'est une fée tout simplement, elle ne porte pas de nom particulier.
