PAYMENTS from the Tooth Fairy are down by 10% - and kids in Glasgow get an average of 95p per tooth, according to a new survey.

Glasgow has come in 17th in a league table of Tooth Fairy payments across the UK.

The figure in the city is down by 15p from £1.10 in the last four years.

A small minority of youngsters (2%) get as much as £20 for each tooth that falls out - amounting to £400 for a full set of all 20 baby teeth.

London and the South-East has the highest figure with an average of £2.25 a tooth - down 10% from £2.50 four years ago.

The Tooth Fairy is most careful in Newcastle where kids get an average of 80p per lost tooth - a 20% slump on 2015’s figure.

The results came from a new survey of 2,000 parents by cosmetic dental brand Your Smile Direct.

The survey found that average payments nationally had dropped by 10% from £2.10 to £1.90 since 2015.

More than a third of parents (34%) said their children spent their Tooth Fairy money on sweets.

Dr Mark-Anthony Shepherd, lead dentist for Your Smile Direct, said: “Even the Tooth Fairy is feeling the pinch.

“But it is great news the Tooth Fairy is still visiting 92% of homes with children.

“It is a shame that a third of children are spending their Tooth Fairy money on sweets - that is the quickest way to ensure a further visit from the Tooth Fairy.”
