Parents Tired Of Their Son Not Brushing His Teeth Come Up With This Genius Letter From The Tooth Fairy
When we were kids, most of us didn’t like brushing our teeth too much, but we sure got excited over the dollar we got from the Tooth Fairy when one of them fell out. ‘Barry T. Tooth Fairy’ himself has now spoken, however, and he’s sounding off on bad dental hygiene.
London resident Henry Warren recently shared on Twitter that his 8-year-old son, Sam, is ‘dreadful’ at tooth brushing, but thankfully, the winged man himself was well-aware. When Sam’s most recent loose tooth fell out, the boy left it under his pillow expecting a one-pound coin to be in its place by morning – and instead woke up to find a formal letter ‘from the desk of Barry T. Tooth Fairy,’ which included a strict warning to be heeded about ‘tooth condition.’
Parents everywhere are applauding Henry for making sure the letter found his son well, and we suspect that many will be in contact with ‘Barry’ as well before their child’s next trip to the dentist. Scroll down to read it for yourself!

This is Sam Warren, an 8-year-old London boy who recently lost a tooth and left it for the tooth fairy
Instead of just finding a one-pound coin under his pillow in the morning, however, he also found this letter
“Dear Mr Warren,
This letter is to inform you that I have now taken receipt of your tooth and it is being duly processed in our system.
You will have noticed there has been a delay in your payment for the tooth. Mr Warren, I have to inform you that this is due to the condition in which we found said tooth. We expect a certain amount of wear and tear on the teeth we appraise. However in this case your tooth had to be referred up to the committee for further analysis.
We believe this is due to the lack of care and attention by yourself. We have detected more than trace amounts of Fanta and residual amounts of both cereal and chocolate which have not been removed by appropriate brushing technique. We recommend you review your practice here as a matter of urgency.
Mr Warren we will accept the tooth on this occasion but we need your assurances that the condition of your next tooth will be significantly better or we will withhold payment.
Sincerely yours,
Barry T. Tooth Fairy”
Busted! Parents are now applauding this genius way of calling kids out on poor dental hygiene
Barry is clearly well-respected in the Warren household
Even Colgate chimed in to pat Barry on the back for his excellent work

Share on FacebookHey, this is a nice adult ready letter, but definitely not in "8 year old" speak. Shouldn't it have been written in more child friendly language? Just curious. 🤔
How is this not kid friendly? The vocabulary in the letter isn't even that high-tier and I could have read this at the age of 8
Load More Replies...F*ck the letter, is that a Stormtrooper?! This kid doesn't brush his teeth properly and still get a Stormtrooper... Living my life's been harder than I thought, I see.
For those talking about the vocabulary used. Might I say this: Both my 7 and 6 year old would not have trouble reading and comprehending this. That's because of their reading level and experience. I would choose to believe that was taken in to account by the parent(s). Also now days kids tend to be farther along in a lot of skills than we were at that age. For better or worse kindergarten is first grade now, and some kids tend to engage in more texted based interaction. Not all kids would find this easy to read and that would be fine, but I doubt this was a click bate type of post. My 7 year old can type as fast as my wife already. I made this a priority as a techie father. But my kid also can't ride a bike without training wheels. SSorry
Sorry that went a little off the rails. I didn't mean to make it so long.
Load More Replies...When my son was about the same age, he left a note for the tooth fairy asking for 5 or 6 dollars in exchange for his tooth. The tooth fairy wrote back and said she would then need to take 5 or 6 of his teeth. That was the last time he left a note for the tooth fairy!
I'm kind of stuck on the part where the Tooth Fairy's name is, "Barry".
This is how I found out Santa Claus, Easter Bunny, et al weren't real in 1st grade... I had left out a plate of cookies for Santa, and my father, who has very distinctive handwriting, had written a note that said "thanks." Like wtf dad?! Use different handwriting! Anyway, the kid was probably disillusioned after this, which is good considering he still believes there's a tooth fairy at 8.
I think all dentists should send these letters to parents with kids to get them to brush their teeth more often !
Sorry but it's up to the parents to supervise the brushing of teeth and maybe not buy the said fanta and chocolate.
Am I the only one wondering why an 8 year old is drinking Fanta? I must be uptight.
Nope, you're not the only one. If they want the kids too look after his teeth, start by not giving him such intense, sugary drinks. That c**p does terrible things to an adult body, let alone a child's body.

The letter is so funny, i could really see Barry as a mascot in promoting teeth hygene
Nice! This is gonna work, everyone's gonna have a laugh and the kid's hygiene will improve!
Barry is a d**k! Took the tooth and the kid got a stupid letter. No money. Barry needs to pay up dammit!
I never had trouble with getting my kids to brush either, but every kid is different. His parents probably tried all the normal motivations and scare tactics, to no effect. This letter doesn't ruin the fairy tale, and sometimes you just gotta do whatever it takes...
