Apps for Healthy Teeth

Make Brushing Fun: The Best Dental Apps for Kids

Let’s be honest—your kids probably know their way around your smartphone better than you do. So why not put that tech-savvy energy to good use with apps that teach proper tooth care and help them prepare for dentist visits? Believe it or not, there are plenty of dental apps out there, and some of them are so fun that your phone might spend more time in the bathroom than in your pocket!

Here are three types of apps kids love.

1. Two Minutes Twice a Day

Getting kids to brush for the recommended two minutes can be tough, but these apps make it fun.

• Disney Magic Timer by Oral-B: Kids brush alongside their favorite Disney characters, uncover hidden images as the timer runs, and collect stickers as rewards. The app even lets them scan their Crest or Oral-B product so their character uses the same brush they do.

• Toothsavers: A whimsical game where children help medieval and fairytale characters clean their teeth.

• Brush DJ: This app pulls music from your phone and plays it for two minutes, turning brushing into a mini dance party.

• Brusheez Tooth Brushing Timer: Created by a Disney 3D artist for his own kids, this app uses colorful monster characters to teach proper brushing technique.

2. Mouth Design

Virtual Dentist is a great way to show kids and teens what dental treatments might look like on their own smiles. By uploading a photo, they can preview braces, veneers, fillings, and even see the difference between clean and neglected teeth. Teens especially may find it helpful to visualize how cosmetic dentistry could transform their smile.

3. Be the Dentist

For kids who love pretend play, Tiny Dentist lets them step into the role of dentist. They can fix cavities, clean teeth, fight bad breath, whiten smiles, and even place implants—all in a fun, animated way.

Turning Teeth Time into Fun Time

Getting kids excited about brushing and dental care does not have to be a chore. With these apps, they will start to see brushing as a game rather than a routine. And the best part? Healthy habits at home mean happier visits with us at Summit Family Dental Care.
