When kids lose a tooth they get to look forward to the Tooth Fairy leaving some cash under their pillow and, more importantly, growing a shiny new adult tooth to replace the one they lost. When adults lose a tooth they aren’t so lucky. There’s no Tooth Fairy. Raw deal, huh? This commercial by Taxi New York shows that insurance companies like Blue Shield of California are there to act as pseudo-Tooth Fairies for adults, helping them to pay for replacement molars.
