A father has been praised for his expert parenting skills by penning a brilliant Tooth Fairy note to his son.

According to The Telegraph, father-of-three Henry Warren explained his son is "dreadful at brushing his teeth", adding: "Turns out the Tooth Fairy has had enough."

The formal letter explains the tooth fairy will not be paying out in future unless their condition significantly improves.

It notes that traces of Fanta, cereal and chocolate were found on the tooth and also recommends a review of his brushing technique.

The letter, which includes a pound coin, finishes: "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."

Online commentators have praised the note, with one responding: "This is a great letter. Well done. I hope it works."

Absolutely genius! My strategy was to help them look for all their chocolate that I accidentally ate last night. May add this my repertoire

I enjoyed that the Tooth Fairy is called "Barry"
