I'm a bit lost on how my message ever implied that
Yeah ok maybe you didn't
Either way, the whole thing of "making it fun" for kids is so incredibly stupid to me, kids have to learn that there's a real reason for something, and also it's just dumb to make life a game because life isn't a game and if you get treated like it is when you're a kid, then you're in for a rude awakening eventually. This goes beyond teethbrushing.

I'm a person whose parents always enforced oral hygiene, and I'm a bit ashamed to admit, but as I grew old I kinda started neglecting it a lot.
I strongly believe that if I had had an app that made brushing teeth more fun and independent as a kid, it's highly likely that it would've had a positive impact in my routine, even as an adult.
That's not to say parents shouldn't still enforce nor make sure kids are taking care of their teeth, they definitely should. It's just that now they have a tool at their disposal that makes it happen more effectively while also being more pleasant for the kid.

I mean they can explain to them there's an important reason for it, while also using a tool to make it less of a drag lol
It honestly sounds like a win-win: the kid not only does what they need to do but also looks forward to that, sometimes even doing it more efficiently
That's basically bribery. The reason for doing something should be motivation enough. And I get that we're talking about kids, I'm saying that they need to learn that at a young age.
how is that bribery 
you're just turning an important but boring chore into an important but fun one

Because you're not teaching your kids the importance of doing mundane but important tasks, you're just making life a game. Which it is not.

Aren’t you rewarded with money at your job for doing the things you’re meant to do?
We’re taught that if there’s a reward, we should do it. Thus is the fundamentals of having a job.

Exactly. The reward of brushing your teeth is having healthy teeth.
I think chevy's logic is that it's bad because we're not teaching the kids that brushing their teeth rewards a healthy mouth, but rather that brushing teeth rewards something in a game.
Idk what to say, as they grow up they'll understand the real reason why they did it and be grateful. It's not like anyone will reach their 20s and still think the reason for brushing teeth is to make pikachu happy on a screen.

So why are you saying it’s bribery if we’re getting something we need for completing tasks
It's bribery if you do a task for anything beyond the reason for doing the task.
