The internet has impacted most aspects of modern life, including looking up information on Google and making friends on social media. There are even apps designed to help children brush their teeth more efficiently. To get the full benefits of a frequent oral care routine, try these toothbrushing apps for kids that will help to impress their dentist at their next checkup.

How to Encourage Thorough Dental Hygiene 

1. Disney Magic Timer®

Kids respond well to characters and themes they’re familiar with, so if your child is a fan of Disney® or Marvel® superheroes, they will enjoy this Disney Magic Timer.

The app invites children to create a profile to keep track of their progress on a calendar. Your kids can unlock new characters, features, and games by brushing their teeth for two minutes at a time.

2. Brusheez® 

Brusheez is an interactive, educational app that features two monsters, Kawzowie and Zookie, who enjoy brushing their teeth. Your child can tickle their tummies, poke their noses, and customize their looks. The more they brush, the better the monster’s smile becomes.

By tapping the blue clock, you can set a timer. During this time, the chosen monster brushes their teeth with your kid while dancing to a song. Your child can unlock more costumes if they continue to use the app, which gives them more incentive to keep up their oral care routine. 

3. Chomper Chums®

Similar to the other apps on this list, Chomper Chums is a character-based app that will help your child impress their dentist. It uses three characters — a horse, a lion, and an alligator — to teach proper brushing techniques and healthy dental habits.

Most of the games involve chasing the sugar bugs, which are the little germs that infect the animal’s teeth. Eventually, the app will reward your child by giving them in-game coins to purchase healthy, tooth-friendly food for the animals.
