...And here was me literally pinning DD1 between my knees with her arms behind her back and one hand squeezing her cheeks to make her open her mouth while I jammed a toothbrush in there once a day!!

Will have to try these tips, girls - thanks DD1 loves brushing her teeth, but she's *useless* at it and just sucks all the toothpaste off, then asks for more. Oh, she brushes her tongue just fine, but doesn't seem to understand yet that it's the *teeth* that are going to fall out of her head if she doesn't look after them
