When the fairy dust has been left behind I think it is because the tooth fairy must have spent a little more time with that child. Like when Koda and Bailia lost their first tooth, and when Jdog lost two molars in just a few days, they each had fairy dust everywhere! I think the tooth fairy must sit and ponder how fast the kids are growing up.
With Jdog now only having five more baby teeth to lose, I think that the fairy must have sat on his bed for awhile, watching him sleep, thinking about how the years have flown by. She can probably remember making her first delivery to him, and how shiny he wanted that first tooth to be for her.
She might have even shed a few years thinking that his time of youth and innocence is almost over. How she doesn't want him to grow up so fast, and wishes she could shield him from this crazy world forever. She probably knows that this isn't possible, but wanted to make his day special by leaving him a bit of fairy dust. Who knows, maybe the dust not only makes one fly, but maybe its magic keeps a child innocent just a bit longer. I hope so . . .
