My 3 kids now LOVE to brush their teeth!
I have 3 children- 4, 8, 11. I’m not a big advocate for young children using technology on a more than occasional basis and especially not close to bedtime but I will tell you that I LOVE this app. It’s not perfect...but my kids love brushing their teeth now so 500 stars and I like that I can customize a profile for each child. Not the best technique and it always says its bedtime but that’s so minimal when it really gets them brushing HAPPILY for at least 2 minutes and they can’t wait to brush their teeth. They actually fight over it so we have them take turns to brush on their own so they can concentrate and then they all get together for the game and prizes part. This app foster a great habit and it’s especially effective because enjoy it so much!

Encourages kids to brush better
My 5 yr olds love this game! This game encourages them to brush more thoroughly and for a full two minutes without complaints. It also serves as a reward for completed chores. They have enjoyed the new backgrounds and love singing and dancing to the music (it is a little annoying to me). I like that there is room for multiple accounts, but it is a little difficult for multiples. It is a little pricey for the full game, but it gives me a few minutes to change in peace. My kids suggested undersea, construction sites, parks, farm, zoo, and sports for any new backgrounds.

Llllllllllove this!
To start, I’m lucky and my kids will brush without me having to yell at them (they just need a few reminders). But this app has made them ASK ME if they can go brush. And one of my kids wanted one of the reward items badly enough that he brushed a second time to earn more points. It’s now something they look forward to; not just part of the routine. Ps. I am a dental hygienist. And I will be telling everyone about this app. And for other parents, just an FYI; my kids are 3 and 5.
