The first one is usually worth more. In an odd addendum, my kids are in their 20s and my wife found a "serial killer" amount of baby teeth is a dresser drawer. We're not sure what to do with them.

Update: Found the missing tooth this morning (before she noticed).
£2 for first tooth and £1 after is the plan here.
My daughter lost her first tooth at age six. The next morning, I went in to wake her up and she found her $5 under the pillow, at which point she looked me directly in the eyes and asked, “Mom, are you the tooth fairy?” Uhhh….. I think I gave her the standard cop-out parental response (“What do you think?”) but the cat was out of the bag.
When I was about seven I lost a tooth and decided to do a test. I didn't tell anyone and still put it under my pillow. Needless to say I was double sad the next day. I had proof that the tooth fairy was a lie and I was down a dollar.
My son did this, but he’s also the most chill kid and just kind of mentioned it the next day. He seemed pleased that he had figured it out, so I hope he wasn’t hiding true disappointment!
