Why use a two-minute brushing timer?

Most people brush for less than the dentist-recommended two minutes. A timer helps children and adults slow down, cover every area of the mouth, and build a consistent daily routine.

Brushing timer FAQs

Common questions about brushing time, technique, and kids routines.

How long should I brush my teeth?

Dentists generally recommend brushing for two minutes, twice a day, with fluoride toothpaste.

Is this timer suitable for children?

Yes. Kids Mode adds a playful brushing buddy to make the full two minutes feel easier and more engaging.

Should I rinse after brushing?

Spitting out excess toothpaste instead of rinsing can help fluoride stay on the teeth for longer.
