How do I get my daughters to take better care of her teeth?

I always have to keep after her to brush, and she avoids it whenever she can. She's had quite a few teeth pulled already for a 13 year old, and a lot of fillings too, but she just won't take care of her teeth. She's fussy about her clothes and hair, but her teeth are all getting rotten. I recently took her sister(my oldest) to the dentist and he said she'll probly have to get dentures soon because she has so many teeth missing and so many that will have to come out before long and she just turned 15. She recently started brushing more, but the teeth she has left are literally rotting out of her head. I know bad teeth run in my family because I lost all my teeth when I was 15 and I haven't had any teeth or dentures since then, but I think it couldn't hurt if they at least tried to take care of their teeth some. I really can't afford crowns and root canals and some of the expensive stuff they do to save teeth these days. How do I get them to brush more often or better?

Monica you could be right. They've never seen me with teeth cuz I lost all mine when I was 15 and I didn't get dentures.

I tried getting my boys one of those fancy electric toothbrushes. They got to pick it out and even though it was a little pricey, they like using the toothbrushes. Its kinda fun.
