Fabled tooth-takers (7)

I believe the answer is:

fairies

(Other definitions for fairies that I've seen before include "imaginary beings" , "Garden dwellers" , "Mythical creatures at the bottom of the garden?" , "Creatures of our imagination" , "Sprites" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
