### 5/5 — helps depression teeth

*2025-09-23*

I am someone who struggled with brushing due to neglect as a child and major depression. This helps me a lot with tracking what I do and ever since I was able to make a routine of it, it’s been very helpful. You can follow along as it goes and it makes me feel less alone when I brush. I think that maybe this app can help others like me too.

### 5/5 — I love this app

*2024-11-11*

I’m 15 but I love using it anyways

### 4/5 — So helpful

*2024-04-15*

I’m sure this was geared towards children, but as an adult struggling with depression it is really hard for me to brush my teeth regularly. To have this app to look at while I’m doing it, and especially to have it reward me after, is a great dopamine boost. I like that it keeps track and tells you the streak you are on, so it makes it something I want to keep up with. 

My only suggestion is it would be great if we had the option of only brushing teeth twice a day. I know 3 is ideal but I work and have school so I will never brush my teeth 3 times a day and I don’t want it to affect my streak goals cause that might end up ruining my motivation for me. I just downloaded this so I don’t know yet how that will affect it.

### 5/5 — Devs please read

*2024-02-05*

So it a very good app but add IPad support so like full screen

### 3/5 — Cute and helpful app, but could use some work

*2023-12-27*

Cute app, which really helps encourage good brushing habits. It is buggy when it comes to the stats, often thinking it is the wrong day and writing over the previous day. It also only counts a full day after brushing three times and I wish there was a setting to allow a day to count with only two brushing sessions since that is the minimum recommended and I am not always able to brush midday.

### 5/5 — Don’t rinse your brush!

*2023-12-06, version 1.3*

Why? well because it washes all the fluoride of the tooth paste of course.

### 5/5 — 🪥

*2023-11-30, version 1.3*

thank u mr capybara! thanks 2 you, i brush my teeth twice a day now💖!

### 5/5 — Great!

*2023-06-20*

I love this game and it makes me want to brush my teeth more and remembers me to brush 3 times A day and there’s many different things 
But this whole app is 100/10

### 3/5 — Great Timer & Demo, But Sound Gone after 1 Day

*2023-03-28*

I love that the app shows realistic teeth, properly demonstrates brushing all tooth surfaces (must adjust in settings though), shows toothpaste bubbling as brushing continues, and played appropriate music while brushing (a feature that sadly disappeared this morning). Music playing during brushing very quickly caught our children’s attention and got them excited about using the app to guide them in properly brushing their teeth. Sadly, the music doesn’t play as of this morning. Without the music, our children don’t have any interest in using the app - even though it still has many unique, beneficial features. I hope that the app reincorporates appropriate music so that children will be drawn to using it again.

### 5/5 — Great

*2022-08-01*

Amazing app!! Leaves my teeth so clean🥳
