Brushing your teeth twice a daily is something most adults without thinking but for children it can be a hard habit to form.
How do you make it fun for them and teach them a habit?
“There is a app for that”
Yes, there is an app for most things and there are some made just for kids brushing their teeth.
Here are a few free apps that can help your kids brush for the full 2 minutes and make it fun.
Brush DJ
If your child is a music lover then they will love this app which plays 2 minutes of music from your phone or tablet to encourage proper brushing. Make a playlist of your kid’s favorite songs and he or she will love to jam out to the music while brushing. This app also will remind your child about dentist appointments and replacing their toothbrush. It will teach your child how to reach every tooth when brushing through kid-friendly videos and a brushing timer.
Brush DJ is available on iOS and Android.
Brush Teeth With Momo
You follow along with a character named Momo as he brushes his teeth. You can pick the toothpaste and toothbrush he is using and you earn points that can be used to get Momo food, clothes or toys. This app allows your child to brush their teeth either on their own or with mom or dad.
Brush Teeth With Momo is available on iOS.
Brusheez
For the ones who love monsters! Your children get to brush their teeth with Little monsters. Then the characters will help guide your child through the brushing, singing and setting a timer for the recommended two minutes of brushing.
Brusheez is available on iOS.
Toothbrush Timer
This is a simple app the keeps track of how long to brush your teeth but also indicates which part of the mouth to brush using a picture, and when to switch parts using a sound. Adults could use this one too!
Toothbrush Timer is available on Android.
