Baby teeth placed under a pillow are usually collected by a child's parents or guardians.

NOT BS — Verdict: True

The Short Version
Available evidence supports the ordinary meaning of the statement. In the under-pillow tooth fairy tradition, parents or guardians are typically the ones who remove the tooth and leave a reward. Some families handle the ritual differently, and many cultures use other tooth-loss customs entirely, but those exceptions do not overturn the usual pattern described here.
Caveats
The under-pillow practice is culturally specific and should not be treated as a universal global custom.
Some families leave money or a gift without taking the tooth, so "usually" is better supported than any absolute wording.
Several supporting sources are dental or parenting explainers rather than high-rigor demographic studies, though they are consistent with the available research.
