How do I get my son to brush his teeth

I have a six year old son Tony.  and a five year old Daughter Jenny.  My problem is I have to fight with my son to get him to brush his teeth after breakfast and dinner.   He always starts in saying that he does not want to brush or he wines about having to brush.  I also have to watch him the whole time he is brushing to make sure he is really doing it.

My daughter as no problem about brushing her teeth but sees that Tony acts up when he has to.  I am worried if I let this continue she may feel like she does not have to brush either.   Sorry to say but my husband is just no help in this matter.

He just tells my son if his teeth rots out he will not be paying for them to get fixed.  I think he is too young to really understand what my husband is saying to him, either that or he does not care.  I do not know for sure.

Advise on how to get him to want to brush would be helpful to me.
