Children live in a world of applications, mobile games, and digital interaction. These outlets offer a number of advantages when it comes to learning and are a great integration into dental care. Getting your children excited about oral hygiene early builds the foundation for a lifetime of healthy teeth, and if you’re looking for creative ways to get them started, consider the fun mobile apps below.

3 Fun Apps to Get Children Excited About Dental Care

1. Tiny Dentist

The Tiny Dentist app focuses on building healthy dental care habits and removing fears of the dentist. The features are geared toward letting your child be the dentist. They’ll brush and floss teeth, fill cavities, and remove teeth as needed. This method shows them the importance of the dentist and oral hygiene and will also provide a positive, fun association with visiting a dental clinic.

2. Brush DJ

As your children begin developing dental care techniques, they need to know how long to brush and where. Brush DJ pairs brushing with fun, 2-minute songs you can input from a playlist and shows your child where to brush throughout the timeframe. You can also program it to send reminders about brushing, flossing, and when it’s time to visit a pediatric dentist for a checkup.

3. Chomper Chums

Chomper Chums is designed to give your children a partner and responsibility for dental care. They can select a character and have to take care of their teeth every day when they do their own brushing and flossing. It’s a fun way to give them some company and keep them engaged as their character progresses, and coins are awarded at milestones.
