There's a lot of talk between parents about what the going rate for the Tooth Fairy is and how much a tooth is worth.
But one person on Reddit found out the hard way that not every tooth has the same value ¨C or really the Tooth Fairy doesn't always have the same amount of cash on hand.
Sharing the hilarious note they wrote back in 2010, at age nine, they weren't happy with what their sister got from the Tooth Fairy during a holiday.
"Dear Tooth Fairy, I was wondering why you gave [sister's name] $20 in Oregon?" she wrote.
"Because I always get just like $1 or $2 and its not fair. I don't want to sound greedy or anything but may I have $20? Pleeease."
?Commenters loved the post and wondered how the note went for them, but the real kicker is it wasn't even her parents who were dishing out the cash.
"?My mum informed me that it was likely my grandpa that gave her $20, as we had been visiting my grandparents in Oregon. I had the same question for her," she replied to one comment.
S?ophie Pearce, influencer and co-host of the Beyond The Bump podcast has shared the sweet note her daughter left the tooth fairy.
It turns out, her daughter Poppy couldn't care less about the money and instead wanted a toy.
"Dear tooth fairy can I please please have a toy but if you cannot then you can do your other things, love Poppy," read the adorable note which she posted on Instagram.
?Sophie added the caption, "Another lost tooth. Another request for a toy from the tooth fairy denied."
It looks like Poppy didn't get that toy, but ?it's not a bad idea to pitch your own special reward to the tooth fairy.
But since when do kids not love a gold coin??
I?t can be a nightmare to try to get your messy kids to clean up their rooms, so one clever dad used the Tooth Fairy to help get her point across.
"A letter to my messy daughter from the tooth fairy," he wrote on Reddit and ?so many parents loved the idea.
"This is gorgeous. She will remember receiving this letter her entire life," commented one user.
Another replied, "Omg, I cannot stop laughing. This is brilliant!"?
In the note the Tooth Fairy explained she struggled to retrieve the tooth, due to 'the state of the room'.
It's got a very passive aggressive tone and clearly, someone was trying to get their point across when it came to the messy bedroom with this one.?
Here's hoping things changed for the next missing tooth! ?
T?his child clearly wanted to get the message across to the tooth fairy, after her parents paid the money but forgot to take the tooth!
She wrote in caps:
"DEAR TOOTH? FAIRY! PLEASE TAKE MY TOOTH BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T TAKE IT. PLEASE TAKE IT NOW!"
At least she used her manners to get the message across.
Mum Mindy Kaling seems to be just as excited as her daughter Kit that the tooth fairy visited their home for the first time.
The actress and mum-of-two posted a photo of an extra special delivery the fairy dropped off for five-year-old Katherine.
A delivery which included special 'glitter money'. ?
Posting a picture of the $20 USD note alongside an official receipt from Tooth Fairy Inc, it seemed the occasion was marked as big deal in the Kaling house.
"I am so proud of you for taking such great care of your teeth!" the receipt read, signed at the bottom by the one and only Tooth Fairy.
?"Enjoy your reward and please remind Floppy to brush his teeth too," Kaling clarifying that the Tooth Fairy was referring to Kit's favourite stuffed rabbit.
W?hile most parents tend to panic when their kid loses their first tooth, one mum is beyond organised for the big moment.
Mum-of-three Frankie was so excited that her eldest daughter was loosing her first tooth, that she took the time to help the Tooth Fairy put together a special package.
"It's such a simple thing, but I feel like it makes it so much more special," the mum said on TikTok sharing a video of the creation. ?
Knowing the Tooth Fairy "always delivers crisp notes" the mum first began by using her hair straightener to flatten out the $20 note she had ready for her six-year-old.
Though the amount seemed a little hefty, the mum said it was keeping in tradition with what she received when she was a little girl.
"When I was little I always got $20 for the first tooth, which was all I even had on hand."
To make it even more unique, she then painted glitter onto the bill so it had a sparkly shine to it. ?
Also part of the package was an 'Official Receipt' from the Tooth Fairy.
The mum said she found the template online, easily printed it off and filled it out for her daughter.
Alongside information like her name, age, date she lost the tooth and quality of the tooth, the receipt? even had a little barcode on it.
It was also stamped, proving it came straight from 'Tooth Fairy Fairyland', which is the Tooth Fairy's HQ. ?
"I have always been a creative and I just want for the days in motherhood where I can make little milestones special," the mum says. ?
T?he final inclusion was a little 'Fairy Token' which her daughter would receive in exchange for the tooth.
"I'm not exactly sure what it's meant to be?, but I thought it was really cute."
While the mum was excited to share her little creation with fellow parents, some people thought she was going a little 'overboard'.
"So you gave her a useless bill. I mean it's cute, but she won't be able to buy anything with it," one person commented.

Another addressed the money she gave for the tooth, "$20!? I got 50 cents when I was younger!?"
Though the majority of her followers commended her on going above and beyond to make the moment just that little more special.
"People like you were meant to be moms!! So sweet and meaningful?."
There's only so many ways you can tell your child to clean their room.
But the Tooth Fairy? The Tooth Fairy holds a special kind of power one mum has brilliantly used to her advantage.
When it came time for the fairy to make a visit to young Emily after losing a tooth, her mum got crafty, finding a way to drive home the importance of a clean room - and motivate her daughter to keep it clean.
Instead of a gold coin, Emily found this note waiting for her the next morning.?
"My dearest Emily," it began. "I came by tonight to retrieve your tooth and leave your payment - however, because of the condition of your bedroom, I had a horrible time even getting to your bed safely.?"

"Once there, I was unable to locate the tooth pillow due to the amount of pillows, blankets and bodies in your bed."
"I will have to come by on a different night - perhaps you can take the time between now and then to properly clean and organise your room. I bet if you ask your mother NICELY, she will even help you to do it."
"Much love, the Tooth Fairy."?
The note recently resurfaced online on a popular Facebook page, where it has delighted many parents.?
"This is a win/win situation. It's not bribery, it's teaching them to respect things and that they don't always get what they expect," said one.
"This mother is brilliant," agreed another.
While a few declared it 'cruel'.
"I find it inappropriate to discipline a child in this way," said one mum. ?
A?nother parent also shared their son's handwritten note to the fairy, apologising for not having a tooth to leave out for her.
Above an adorable drawing of her son Keith getting hit in the face by a ball thrown by his friend Robert, her son explained how ?it got lost.
" Dear Tooth Fairy," he said. "I lost a tooth in the grass. Robert threw a ball at my mouth. So the tooth fell out in the grass. Please believe this! it's real. Please give me a little bit of money. Love Keith."

His mum, moved by his note, ensured the fairy paid him a visit nonetheless. ?
"When my son was little, he lost his tooth outside. He asked me to write this note (these were his exact words) and he drew the picture," she shared.
"We left it under the pillow that night so the Tooth Fairy would understand what happened. Sweet Fairy left the money and took the note."
One mum has revealed the sneaky way she encouraged her son to brush his teeth better.
After her son's tooth fell out, he left it out for the tooth fairy to collect, as per tradition.
However, the young boy awoke to find his tooth had been rejected by the magical fairy alongside a handwritten letter.
The note, which was shared to a Facebook group, reads:
"Sorry I couldn't take your tooth as it has a cavity.

"Please ensure you brush more thoroughly in future. Love, Angelica."?
The hilarious note quickly went viral, however some parents were concerned it was a little too brutal in its honesty.
"I know it's hard times but this is savagery," said one.
However, the mum explained she conspired with her son's elder brother in a bid to help the seven-year-old to take better care of his teeth.
"My teenager doesn't believe in the tooth fairy, he wasn't upset and agreed to this to encourage his little brother to brush his teeth."
Even celebrities need to take turns when it comes to tooth fairy duty. In this instance it was Kim Kardashian taking on the role as her son, Saint, lost his first tooth.
The reality TV star took to Instagram to document her day in the life of a tooth fairy, sharing the letter Saint left featuring his unique request.
Money h?as traditionally always been the reward for a tooth, with lucky children often waking up to a coin or note under their pillows but instead of cash, the seven year old asked for a currency used more amongst people his age: Robux.
"Can I please have Robux instead of money," wrote Saint, making sure to add a note encouraging the tooth fairy to check the bag accompanying his letter and to "please write back"?.
Robux is the currency used in the popular game platform Roblox which is dominated by young users, with 67 per cent of Roblox users under the age of 15.

Kim shared a snap of her response, her letter written in cursive, accompanied by a two dollar note and Roblox voucher, sprinkled with gold glitter.
This picture made it clear that her daughter North, was in on the cute stunt, the star captioning the image?: "North says the tooth fairy writes in cursive which I haven't done in 15 years."
A clip of her son's room with gold glitter adorning his white bed was posted shortly after, Kim writing: "The tooth fairy was here."
The role proved a tad exhausting for the mother of four who posted a video of herself at the gym on the stair master after a long day of tooth fairy duty.
"Traveled... Was on tooth fairy duty and just finished a 2 hour workout! I was tired but pushed through Happy Sunday,"? she wrote.
There's a lot to be said for being honest about how you feel. However, somebody probably needs to tell this little girl it might be best to dial it back a bit.
The youngster, who does not appear to be a total believer when it comes to Tooth Fairy magic, left a very direct note after her latest tooth loss.
"Dear mum/dad/tooth-fairy," the note begins before explaining how she would like to be left $25.
"I want more money than last time, or else I will get mad!!!" she wrote.

While the girl's parent must have thought the note was sweet when she shared it on the 'Made Me Smile' Reddit thread, others were not so sure.
"Karen in training," one person commented. "She's gonna want to speak to the tooth fairy's supervisor, Santa Claus."
"Boy, she's gonna be really p---ed when she goes to the dentist and they start pulling teeth and charging her for taking them," another quite rightly pointed out.
Little Lena was distraught after realising she left something very important behind on her flight - her wobbly tooth.
"I was sleeping on the airplane. My mum woke me up ¡ and we were going to go pick our suitcases up. And I said, 'Mummy, mummy, I think my tooth fell out,'" Lena told Good Morning America.
"We tried to walk back to the airplane, but security was closed. It was 2m.
"I was like, 'We're never gonna find my tooth again!'"
The little girl soon realised she had no proof of her lost tooth for the Tooth Fairy.
That's when the flight's pilot, Captain Josh Duchow, came to the rescue. Spotting the meltdown, he came over and penned a quick note to the Tooth Fairy.

"Dear Tooth Fairy, Lena had a tooth fall out on her flight to Greenville. Please take this note in place of her tooth," he wrote before signing the note, "Captain Josh."
Lena's mum also thanked the Captain and United Airlines on Facebook.
"In a world full of bad airline stories, @united came through when Lena fell asleep on her flight home and woke up without a tooth," she said.
"Thank you, Captain Josh! I'm sure the Tooth Fairy will accept this note in lieu of a tiny tooth."
She also provided an update from the Tooth Fairy.
"She said, 'Lena, it is OK that you have lost your tooth on the airplane. I will get it. Keep brushing," she relayed.
A UK mum has shared this cheeky letter from her eight-year-old son to the Tooth Fairy after he swallowed his wobbly tooth while eating pizza.
"He didn't realise until he finished lunch," wrote his mum on a popular Facebook group for parents alongside a photo of the handwritten note.
In the letter, the boy initially asks the Tooth Fairy what to do about his swallowed tooth - before challenging her to use an X-ray if in doubt.
"If you don't believe me, check my mouth or use an X-ray. Are you going to give me a ?1 (AUD $1.90)still?," he scrawled.

The letter left mum - and Facebook - in hysterics.
"I love the 'WHAT SHOULD I DO' is written massive like a cry for help but then he crosses this out, calms down and gives her a solution. That's hilarious," said one.
"I love how he had a big problem then he worked out some awesome solutions. Great life skills," said another.
"My daughter swallowed a tooth and was so upset. I told her the tooth fairy was magic and could still get it," chimed in another mum.
"Sorry about your period and headache. I was very and still am disappointed in you."
Young Danielle cut straight to the point when the poor Tooth Fairy failed to deliver the goods.
A vice principal won hearts worldwide for her sweet response when a student lost his tooth at school.
Shandee Whitehead, from Canada, penned a letter to the tooth fairy on behalf of her student Gavin, whose tooth fell out when he was getting ready to eat lunch at school.
Despite the "the heroic efforts of a fearless search team," the tooth could not be located, leading Whitehead to send the letter to the Tooth Fairy from the school's letterhead.
"Dear Tooth Fairy," the letter began. "Today one of Gavin's teeth fell out while he was getting ready to eat lunch. Unfortunately, it was lost in the classroom."

"As a trained Vice Principal and hobby dentist, I verify there is definitely a gap in Gavin's teeth that was not there this morning when he came in," she continued.
"Please accept this letter as official verification of a lost tooth and provide the standard monetary exchange rate you normally use for a real tooth," she concluded the letter, cheekily adding that she's still waiting on her tooth fairy money from wisdom teeth she had removed in 2000.
"Please pay as soon as possible," she wrote. "I have bills to pay."
Whitehead posted the letter to Twitter, adding that in addition to her Vice Principal duties it's important to foster a positive culture at school, which is what lead her to write the note in the first place.
The post went viral with many parents saying they appreciate teachers going the extra miles for their kids.
Money is wonderful and all, but clearly eight-year-old Laila has her eyes on another prize.
Just a pack of cold, hard bacon please tooth fairy, she asks in this hilarious letter.
So cute.
