Could she set a reminder on her phone or something like that?
Or maybe a note in the bathroom or next to her bed.

Hi all,
we have moved this to Teenagers, where it might garner a more favourable response.

How the hell does she forget? I know if I don't brush mine, my mouth feels like the bottom of a budgie cage

Next dental appointment ask the dentist to descale her teeth and tell her that's what happens if you don't brush.
