My 7yo niece hates brushing her teeth because it's "boring". How can I make it more fun for her?
Post Body

I have ADHD, pretty sure my mother does too, so there's a chance my sister and therefore my niece have it as well. I've definitely noticed a LOT of ADHD behavior in my niece, but anyways. She constantly gets in trouble for not brushing her teeth because she finds it boring or that it takes too long, and as much as I want to drill it into her head that it's important to do anyways, I can totally understand her lol. I also did not brush my teeth for most of my life until I got older and I still forget to sometimes :/

So I'm wondering what I can do to make it less daunting for her. I thought about getting her a toothbrush that plays a song but that's about it.

TLDR: Any tips on how to drill the habit of brushing teeth into my 7 year old niece?
