Answers:
Get them a tasty kind of tooth paste without flouride; since you aren't around to watch them. Swallowing too much flouride is unhealthy and studies have showed flouride in water or toothpaste versus not have not changed the outcome of healthy teeth.
A lot of toothpastes come as bubble gum or cinnamint or something along those lines. I've seen chocolate flavored as well, not sure if it tastes good.

show them the importance of brushing.pictures of rotten teeth and gum disease you could find them just google.tell them if they don't brush these are the consequences. tell them when they get there check ups if they have no cavities they get a surprise.
Have you tried using the kids version of Colgate? It tastes way better than normal toothpaste. I think it's called Colgate Junior.
My mom used to reward us with some kind of a special prize when we brushed our teeth. If we did not we would lose a privledge for the day such as watching tv, vedio games, ect. Good Luck
First of all you should tell them a little about brushing their teeth, why is it a good thing, how to do it, how it will save them from pain in the future and bad commentaries from others (like "look at his teeth", "my God, what a breath, yuck!"). Also get them a toothpaste and toothbrush made for kids, the ones in a colorful package. They are appealing to children.

Start talking about someone they admire, tell them how that boy or that girl is so "cool" by brushing his/hers teeth everyday. Motivate them by lighting the competition spirit that children always experience. Sometimes after hearing that they will want to be "cool" like those who brush.

Other than that you can try a reward system and that reward should be something simple not a big wish that would come true just for washing the teeth. When kids want simple things like going to someone to play or wanting a pie, they start to ask you for your accept and this is when you can remind them about brushing (something like "oh, you wanna go play with X? well I want you to wash your teeth everyday like X does").

You should be their model so be sure to brush your teeth everyday too! Also you can try to take a regular toothpaste brand and make it seem extraordinary in their eyes. Tell them how much you enjoy this paste and how people start noticing your nice teeth.
