My daughter is 14 years old and her teeth are yellow. She does not like to brush. Her sister has beautiful?

white teeth. She is just so lazy. It looks terrible and yes i do feel like a fool when people see her teeth. She laughs when I say something. Her sister and Grandma tell her to take care of her teeth but still nothing just yellow. What should we do????My daughter is 14 years old and her teeth are yellow. She does not like to brush. Her sister has beautiful?
I'm in the same boat as her. well i was. My mom was really loose about brushing my teeth when i was really young and still had ';baby teeth'; so when I got ';grown-up'; teeth i didnt have the habit of brushing my teeth. I finally picked it up after we went to the dentist and he said i had to get a root canal. that was a major wake up call. haha





but just remember the more you push it on her the more she isn't going to want to do it. just go to her one day and say '; I was just wondering if you are interested in me buying you some whitening strips'; then leave it at that. once she sees how good she would look with white teeth she will start brushingMy daughter is 14 years old and her teeth are yellow.

1. Use consequences, such as taking away things that she wants, like tv, phone, time with friends, etc. Once she realizes she won't get those unless she brushes, she may start.





2. You could try getting her a fun colored tooth-brush or an electric one, that could cause it to be less ';painful'; to her. Different types of toothpaste such as Crest have flavors such as orange or lemon; she could try those if she doesn't like the taste.





3. You really should sit down and talk to her about this. Point out to her that brushing is part of routine, and daily life. If she is already lazy about brushing, she could end up skimping on other hygenial routines too such as brushing her hair or washing her face, etc. She really can have beautiful teeth if she just put a little effort into it! Brushing your teeth takes a minimum of 2 minutes out of your day, and the results are clean, white teeth and a beautiful smile. If she realizes this, she will begin to understand and put effort into it, and in the long run, she'll thank you for setting her straight while she was still young.





I hope any or all of these tips help, it will be worth it! :D
if she won't brush her teeth will she atleast use a whitening mouthwash? that way she will atleast be killing some bacteria. also, she should be about to enter high school, where unfortunately the peer pressure will probably make her change her mind rather quickly. just make sure she does go to the dentist atleast once a year to make sure there is nothing wrong with her teeth besides the discoloration.
Start telling her there will be consequences if she doesn't start. I know it's annoying, but if you asked her if she's brushed her teeth and she says she hasn't, consequence time. Only small things at first.. lose the tv for a day, etc. Gradually, she should get the idea that she needs to brush.
Maybe you could give her a reward for brushing her teeth, or you could try buying whitening strips (or other kinds of whiteners) and ask her to use them.

let her see and ask her which teeth she loves to have
Tell her that if she doesnt take of her teeth it WILL fall out and she'll have to get dentures for the rest of her life.
well i'd say take her to a social gathering, and when she talks to people and they run away screaming she'll get the idea very fast.
Tell her its not good when her yellow shirts match her teeth
you are the parent here... make her brush her teeth..it iis not really a choice... because that is just disgusting..
punish her. For example : tell her = ''if u dont brush your teeth , you cant use the computer for a month
make her brush her teeth and tell her to stop being a nasty ***
u could go get her teeth bleached and then make her take care of them afterwards.
