Dental Phobia set up panels throughout the UK to find out how much average Tooth Fairy payments were in all the UK’s leading cities and counties.
The average payment from the Tooth Fairy is £1.90 per tooth - down from £2.10 five years ago.
London has the highest payments - at an average of £2.30 a tooth, rising to a peak of a £5 average in the most generous area - the royal borough of Kensington in west London.
Tooth Fairy payments are lowest in Newcastle and the north-east - averaging just 90p.
The survey found that in affluent areas children are receiving £5, £10 and even £20 notes under their children's pillows instead of the more traditional coins.
