Ovo je čisto moja poetska izmišljotina. BTW, što volim rečnike u kojima su, vidi čuda, izostavljene zaguljene odrednice ;)
Na internetu se može naći izraz "zubna vila" (pretražiti niže navedene URL-ove).
Nažalost, "tooth-fairy" je izraz specifičan za anglosaksonsku kulturu, pa smo prinuđeni da se snalazimo. Pri odabiru prevodnog termina, treba imati u vidu i vrstu teksta koja se prevodi (napr. da li je to naučni rad, film ili knjiga za decu).

dobra vila
Zaista u srpskoj tradiciji ne postoji toot fairy, ako prica kaze da je zub pod jastukom, mozda dobra vila lepse zvuci decijem uhu. Mislim da je u slucaju decije knjizevnosti slobodan prevod / prepev dozvoljen vise nego igde drugde.

miš
In most parts of former Yugoslavia, mice do the tooth fairies' job. They are the ones who leave presents (often a chocolate) to a child who puts his lost milk tooth under his pillow.
