How to use the quadrant brushing timer
- Choose 30, 45, or 60 seconds per quadrant, or enter your own time.
- Start with the highlighted upper-left section.
- When the prompt changes, move to the next quadrant.
- Try to cover the outside, inside, and chewing surfaces in each section.
Why quadrant timing helps
A big countdown makes it easier to avoid rushing one side of your mouth. It is also handy if your electric toothbrush does not have a visible 30 second pacer, or if a child needs a screen cue beside the sink.
