Tooth Fairy Bruce Basu
Chief Operating Officer

The current Tooth Fairy, Bruce, was appointed to the position by a collective of Tooth Fairies who are experts in the arts of tooth fairydom and consider themselves guardians of the ancient tooth fairy rites. Many people don’t realize that there are, in fact, thousands of Tooth Fairies around the globe, all of whom have studied the subtle arts of sweetness and sourness, crunchiness and creaminess, and everything else that makes yummy desserts so yummy. It is their dedication to divine delicacies that dictated their attention to dental excellence. Traditions and rituals have been handed down for centuries amongst the tooth fairies, and though they are all important, only one is the head Tooth Fairy, and that’s Bruce.

When he was just a young boy, he showed particular talents and understanding and familiarity with the ways of the Tooth Fairies. The others noticed and he was given special training, until it was clear that he was, in fact, the reincarnation of the original Tooth Fairy. Having been deemed as such, his succession was assured.

He was raised in Parvati-ji, a small town near Mount Kailash in India. His given name was Bhojaraja Basu (which means Lord Of Generosity) but that was too much of a mouthful for people, especially small children, to say, so he goes by Bruce. He was the only child of devoted parents who were known in their village for their divine pastries. That said, Bruce always had a soft spot for simple rice-pudding with cardamon, and the Lapssi (which is kind of like oatmeal, but really sweet and with nuts) that his mother made for him.

He brings his love of sweets to TinkerTank, and will share recipes with anyone who asks.
