Hello, I am looking for a teeth cleaning app to help my daughter become more independent. Has anyone had experience of using one? Many thanks :)

Hi

We brought my brother a simple sand timer (like old fashioned egg timer) so that he could make sure he cleaned his feeth for 2 mins. It worked really well and he was rigorous in cleaning for the full time.

Much cheaper and simpler than any app. You will find them on Amazon and probably other sites.

An electric tooth brush usually has a 2 minute timer on them. My son uses one

Hello 49 twister,

I have tried to find the brush you have mentioned but failed.

Would you mind adding a link to this product?

THANK YOU.

Most of the Braun electric toothbrushes have a 2 minute timer. Try Googling to find the one to suit your daughter

Hi

I was looking for something to support someone's independence a while ago and came across and app called 'Brush DJ' Really easy to use and definitely worth a try.
