Game Changer

Been struggling with proper brushing with my 4 year old for years. Found this via an ad in Instagram and ran to target to get it. She begs to brush her teeth now and the parent dashboard is so helpful on how I can best guide her brushing. She looks forward to it twice a day now when before she would dread brushing. We’re on day 3 and now I secretly want one for me 😂

Great for learning independent brushing

After about 1 1/2 years of struggling with my now-4 year old about brushing teeth twice a day, I stumbled upon this and it’s a total game-changer. It took her about 2 weeks to get the hang of it, but she wants to use her “Neat toothbrush timer” every day now and happily brushes and brushes well. (I spot check after she’s done for now.)
My only complaint is that I wish there was a confirmation button in the store before buying things. My child keeps getting excited to buy something big, saving up, and then accidentally hitting the wrong button and buying something else. So an “Are you sure you want to buy this?” button would be awesome.
Thanks!

Great for kids!

This has been great for helping my kids visualize how to brush all of their teeth. They struggled with the “outside” and “inside” brushing. This helps show them to brush those parts and how to rotate the toothbrush when brushing there. I also like that it makes it fun while having them brush for 2:00 minutes and they get fun rewards on the app. As a parent, I enjoy that I can see which parts of their teeth they could use more practice brushing.

Only thing I wish was an option was to add if we wanted time for flossing. Otherwise, awesome app to promote healthy brushing habits.

That is great to hear! We're glad that we were able to help improve your children's oral care routine.

Why did I wait so long to purchase!?

My daughters are taking the initiative to brush their own teeth. Before the hum I would have to
Fight them to brush their teeth and brush them properly. They compete against each other and they love the silly virtual prizes. Parent win!

Great toothbrush

My son has adhd so this makes him actually keep focus on brushing. However, he is looking forward to new levels because he has already gotten 3 stars on everything that’s there now. How do more levels show up? I thought maybe once he got all 3 stars on everything he would but no new levels yet ☹️

Great app, but boredom sets in when all levels complete

We’ve been using this toothbrush and app since December 26, 2021. I credit this app for teaching 3.5 year old how to brush her teeth properly. She had greatly improved her brushing skills. We have now finished level 15 and I’m disappointed there are no more levels to complete. Will you please create more levels to keep the interest of kids when they’re brushing? This is the reason the app is only getting 4 out of 5 stars. If there were unlimited levels I would give a 5 star rating.

We hear you! We are always looking for ways to keep kids engaged in enjoying their brushing routines so we will make note of your comments. Thank you! 😁

A miracle! 4 yr old went from refusing to brush to brushing three times a day.

This thing is shockingly awesome.
It uses AR and the phone camera to read the angle and speed and tooth your child is brushing. It shows a real time feed of the teeth being brushed and a worm on the tooth you defeat by brushing at the right speed and length of time it goes around every surface of each tooth. Then you get a reward and take a photo after you brush your tongue and mouthwash.

This app is awesome and so much fun. I cannot live without the hum toothbrush and will never buy another one unless it’s hum! Game changer! My toddler would fight and refuse I’d you brushed her teeth to the point she needed dental surgery at one point to put caps on the two front as they had cavities.

This app has made it so she begs me to brush when she wakes up and goes to bed. Begs to brush after lunch. This is amazing!!!!

Wow wow wow wow

Yes it is hum-azing! We are so happy to hear that she is having a blast while brushing. 😁

Love it

Love the app my 5 yr old now loves to brush his teeth and earn diamonds for masks. I only have one problem we just ran into that I noticed this morning. He somehow has negative diamonds? The diamonds he earned this morning make the total of negative go down so it’s definitely in the negative. I’m just not sure how it happened because you can’t buy things when you don’t have enough diamonds.

Game changer! Gamification at its finest!

It used to be a battle to get my 4 year old to brush (his dad is a also dentist). After introducing him to this app, he’s going it after a couple of peaceful reminders. I have told many of my parent-friends whom have kids around the same age. My only complaint is that it’s not linked to more than one phone. So the reward points (aka diamonds & masks) aren’t synced between parents’ phones. It would be fine if we had one device that was always used for tooth brushing.

We're ecstatic to hear your little adventurer has started humming along! Great feedback like yours helps so much in making new products. We love the idea of you having options while rewarding your loyalty!

Amazing

Went from fighting with my daughter every day to her asking to brush her teeth day and night. Also has really taught her what spots to get on her teeth. One little critique, you guys should add spit breaks. Maybe after each section of teeth. Otherwise an amazing product and app.
