How this 2 minute teeth brushing timer works

The timer splits brushing into four equal 30-second rounds. When the prompt changes, move to the next area of your mouth. Try to brush gently along the gumline and cover the front, back, and chewing surfaces.

Good brushing routine

  • Use a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste.
  • Brush gently; hard scrubbing can irritate gums.
  • Brush twice daily unless your dentist tells you otherwise.
  • Help young kids brush until they can do it well alone.

Use it for kids, adults, or classroom brushing

This 2 minute tooth brushing timer works as a simple kids brushing timer at home, a dental timer after meals, or a quick visual reminder for morning and bedtime routines. Kid mode keeps the prompts playful while the adult mode stays calm and direct.
