Parents Tired Of Their Son Not Brushing His Teeth Come Up With This Genius Letter From The Tooth Fairy
443Kviews
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

I resigned my office-job and now I am getting paid £64 hourly. How? I work over internet! My old work was making me miserable, so I was forced to try something different, two years after...I can say my life is changed-completely for the better! Check it out what i do... http://cutt.us/4spDP
Hey, 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
I would have no problem understanding this when I was 8. In fact, if it was writing in 8-year-old speak, I would have known it was written by someone else, not the tooth ferry.
Really? I would have understood it at that age. Why would you assume he wouldn't get it? It's an official looking letter and the vocabulary was well within his age range. Kids aren't stupid, if that's what you're implying.
Outside the US, this is 8 year old language.
Michelle, I have an aptitude for language. Most of the people I have met in the US can barely write a coherent paragraph. That includes college graduates.
Linda Gulley, I'm from the US and this IS language an 8 year old would understand. Please, speak for yourself. If you had a crap education, I'm sorry for you. Don't attempt to bring the rest of us down with you.
not if it wanted to be legit
Legit with whom? Who is more important, other readers, or the child? Do you see what I am getting at?
Totally agree 👍
Well, it needed to be realistic.
I perfectly see what you're getting at John, and I agree. Next thing will be Santa stationary like a silicitors firm telling kids "Dear Sir or Madame, you can't have pressies this year cause our department of corrections decided you've been bad." What the f... is wrong with some people.
I love this comment!
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.
You didn't mean to make it so long, so you tapped more on to the end anyway ha ha ha
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".
It rhymes with fairy?
THE BRITISH BOOK OF SMILES - The Simpsons
I could've done without the internet's reactions
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.
slow parental clap
So, what did he think about it? Is he starting to brush?
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 crap does terrible things to an adult body, let alone a child's body.
Barry like Rachel's dumped groom who is a dentist on friends Barry?
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!
For tooth fairies, this letter would be a billboard!
Barry is a dick! Took the tooth and the kid got a stupid letter. No money. Barry needs to pay up dammit!
Really??? this made it to Panda !
And here you are! Commenting! Oh, the humanity!

What's the point of adultizing a childhood thing? Just cause you can't bring your kid in line? My son's autistic, he's dreadful at wanting to brush teeth, has had several painful trips to the dentist, and I still manage day by day to bring him in line without ruining the fairytale. He's got topw 4 years to live in that world still, why do this? Total lameness.
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...
"adultizing"? I see no issue with this. The parents are in no way ruining the fairytale ... in fact, as an 8 year old I would have thought even more of the whole fantasy since this is way more personal than just the occasional dollar under the pillow. But each child is different, and if you don't think your kid would respond well to this idea, then simply don't do it.
You're angry Margie.
Also, why did you re-write this comment? Troll or just a loser? Or both?
