My dd 3.9 will not brush her teeth. First she went off mint toothpaste so changed to a different flavour, then she went off that and wanted to use water and now she wont brush at all! I have tried new toothbrush,star charts and dare i say even a bit of bribery but no go. Any suggestions

My DD hates mint, so I sympathise. I tried all sorts and spent a fortune on different flavours and colours of toothpastes. I'm afraid in the end I came down to "This is your toothpaste and you have to use it to brush your teeth". She is now 9 and still hates mint, but accepts that she has to bear the torture of brushing her teeth.
