Kids dont like brushing their teeth. Thats why my daugther and me came to the idea of creating a motivating teeth brushing timer which sets a good example.

When you squeeze the rubber duck, the timer starts and the animation shows the 13 phases of brushing teeth nicely one by one. Whenever the phase changes, the duck squeaks once as a signal. Thats all.

But it works - it helps children and parents to make sure teeth brushing gets done correctly.

We had a lot of fun to realize the idea, but it also took quite some work. Proper teeth brushing can save a lot of money, so this app is not just for fun, but has an actual use. Thats why we set a little price for it - for the pocket money piggybank.

Pros and cons of ToothTimer app for iPhone and iPad

ToothTimer app good for

Great idea and implementation. Kids love it. Would be nice to set the length of time. Smaller kids may not brush for 2 minutes; older ones may brush a little longer.
Weve gone from 30 second brushing times up to 2 minutes. And they are better at getting all their teeth too. Thanks for making this app!
a.m. & p.m. brushing is A LOT easier on the kids with this handy little app. Thank you!!!
