Still having to nag a teenager (13)about teeth cleaning.

I'm still having to nag DD (13) every morning to get her teeth cleaned. She's fine about getting up for school ( I don't even have to wake her up) so it's not that she isn't leaving herself enough time. I don't have to nag her at bedtime.

Not sure what to do. Is it normal to be still having to do this at her age? Any ideas for improving the situation?

Now it sounds like the dentist panicked thought it was a baby tooth and I'm thinking of complaining 😡

I doubt they are in the same league as mine HPFA, but there’s a thought.
I am sick of the sound of my own voice asking her to put her uniform tidy when she takes it off I have demonstrated what I mean by this and it still gets thrown on the floor in a heap (unless I fold it up). So it ends up a crumpled mess.
