The INSIDER Summary:
- A father of three wrote a letter to his son from the Tooth Fairy.
- It said that if the child doesn't start taking better care of his teeth the Tooth Fairy would "withold payment."
- He wrote that traces of Fanta, chocolate, and cereal found on the tooth were particularly to blame.
- Parents love this unique idea and the business-like wording of the letter.
It turns out, getting money from the Tooth Fairy isn't as easy as it used to be. At least, not for one little boy.
Father Henry Warren wrote a clever letter from the Tooth Fairy to teach his son an important lesson, the Telegraph reports. The letter, which the father of three shared on Twitter, informed his son that future payments from the fairy for his teeth would be delayed if he doesn't start brushing them properly.

"Our son is dreadful at brushing his teeth," Warren wrote in the Tweet. "Turns out the Tooth Fairy has had enough."
The letter explains that the delayed payment from the fairy is because the tooth was found in bad condition with cereal, chocolate, and Fanta still found on the tooth.
"We expect a certain amount of wear and tear on the teeth we appraise," the letter said. "However in this case your tooth had to be referred up to the committee for further analysis."
The satirical letter has received more than 4,000 retweets and 14,000 likes. Twitter users loved this fun and unique way to actually convince your child to brush their teeth.
Parenting level: expert.

The little TM after Fanta is the icing on the cake.

When I was 6, my sister swallowed her tooth. My lawyer dad wrote "An Affidavit for a Lost Tooth" to stop her tears. There are even endnotes.
