How to use it
Prop a phone or tablet where your child can see it from the sink, and press Start brushing.
Brush the part of the mouth that lights up. When the soft tone plays, move on to the next part.
When all four parts are done, the finish screen says so. Mark it on a brushing chart if you use one.
Questions parents ask
How long should kids brush their teeth?
Two minutes, twice a day is what many dentists suggest. Your own dentist can tell you what’s right for your child.
Does it matter which side is left?
Not really. The point is about 30 seconds on each part of the mouth, so nothing gets skipped. Pick a side to start on and keep it the same each time.
Is there sound?
Yes, a soft tone at each switch and a short bell at the end, made right in your browser. Turn it off with the Sound button. On an iPhone, the ring/silent switch can mute it too.
What if the screen locks while we brush?
The timer asks the screen to stay on while it runs, where the browser allows it. If the phone locks anyway, it keeps the right time and picks up in the right spot when you unlock it.
