I believe the answer is:

tooth fairy

(Other definitions for tooth fairy that I've seen before include "Visitor leaving kids money" , "Spirit said to leave money at night in compensation for losing a gnasher" , "It may bring comfort to a child" , "She leaves money for molar" , "Parent really" .)

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