Some felt the note was 'tough' until they saw the mum's 'genius' plan. The youngster’s mum shared the letter on Facebook to inspire other parents going through similar bedtime battles, hoping it might both comfort and inspire them as they go through similar rigours and countless attempts to encourage teeth brushing.

"Please ensure you brush more thoroughly in future," she added, before finishing with, "Love, Angelica." "Sorry I couldn’t take your tooth as it has a cavity," she said in the note as explanation.īut she wasn’t finished, there was more to say on the tricky subject of brushing teeth. It seems tooth fairy was not very happy about this and was compelled to share her displeasure with the seven-year-old. The Tooth Fairy had refused to take big brother’s molar because he had not been brushing his teeth. When her teenager’s tooth fell out, mischievous mum pretended to do just that. With all other options disappearing, perhaps a personal note from the Tooth Fairy will do the magic.

If begging, pleading, or bribing don’t persuade children to brush their teeth regularly, what will? Her novel approach was fuelled by sheer exasperation shared by parents the world over. The genius note simply said: "Only healthy teeth get money".

In what can be an ordeal at the best of times, one clever mum has come up with a most practical and delightful solution involving a note from the tooth fairy to her seven-year-old son. Sometimes parents have to be creative to get their children brush their teeth.
