14 year old DS won't brush his teeth

Don't know what to do my DS just won't brush his teeth. He's been diagnosed with ADD and the consultant said that caffeine can be used to control his symptoms so he's been drinking gallons of full sugar coke which my DH buys for him much to my annoyance. I'm thinking of switching to diet coke.

In the meantime I just don't know how to get him to brush his teeth. I've had massive arguments with him before that have lasted 40 minutes. Totally bonkers but I was determined. However, he towers over me and he's already been violent towards me and I'm reluctant to really push him.

Any suggestions warmly welcome.

Thank you for sharing this. I have this same problem with my 16 year old with braces on- it’s a constant battle to get him to simply brush his teeth& have a shower.
