Children need to learn healthy oral habits early in life to ensure a radiant, healthy smile. Dentists recommend that kids should brush their teeth twice a day or once after every meal. However, between school, social obligations, and everyday distractions, oral health can fall to the wayside. Consider the following apps that will get your children excited about brushing their teeth every day.

Best Brushing Apps for Children

1. Toothsavers

If your child loves stories about dragons, princesses, and enchanted kingdoms, consider using this app that focuses on ensuring that they brush their teeth for the dentist-recommended two minutes. Your kid becomes a fairytale princess who has to save their kingdom from tooth-decaying monsters. They do this by brushing for the correct amount of time. If they do, the monsters are defeated.

2. Disney® Magic Timer

If your child is a fan of Disney® princesses, Marvel® superheroes, or any of the classic cartoons, this app reveals characters, stories, and games when they regularly brush and floss. Talking characters, mini-movies, and brushing-related games are revealed through prolonged use, and your child is rewarded for brushing for the correct amount of time and brushing several times per day.

3. Brush DJ

If your kid is a music lover, Brush DJ creates playlists that ensure your child will brush their teeth for the dentist-recommended two minutes. This app can be linked to Apple Music, Spotify, or Google Play. The built-in calendar feature will also remind you and your children about upcoming dentist appointments.

4. Chomper Chums

Like Toothsavers, this app allows your child to immerse themselves in a digital world. They can select a “pet” within the game that they are tasked with taking care of. Through brushing regularly and for the recommended amount of time, they earn coins to buy food to give their pet. When they do this, they watch them grow. This app also focuses on showing your kid healthy foods that will help their teeth grow and stay strong.
