## What is Chomper Chums®?

United Concordia Dental is proud to present Chomper Chums®, a dental hygiene focused mobile app.  The app is designed to enable parents to help their child to learn proper brushing techniques and to establish long lasting and healthy oral wellness habits.  The target audience includes children between the ages of 4 and 11 years of age. 

The purpose of the app is to help children to develop good oral wellness habits at an early age that will last a lifetime. These include brushing for the recommended time period of two minutes, twice per day, as well as flossing and rinsing.  To engage children while they brush and learn, the app introduces three fun, friendly and lovable animal characters that are named by the child, and with whom they interact each time they brush.  Characters include a lion, horse and alligator – all of whom help the child to learn how to brush properly. 

Using colorful animation, the app also helps children to make sure that they reach all quadrants of their mouths when brushing by showing the inside of their animal character’s mouth while they brush. The child can chase “sugar bugs” around each quadrant, for 30 seconds per quadrant.  When the child brushes correctly twice per day and for the recommended 2 minute time period, they earn coins that are used to purchase food items to help to care for their animal. 

In caring for their animal, the child is encouraged to select healthy food items, but can also select less healthy choices to feed their animal, such as snacks rather than vegetables.  However, the health of their animal character is influenced by their choices, teaching them about the importance of making their own healthy eating choices.  Also, children who continue to brush regularly for extended days can earn the “Super Smile Award” which allows them to send their animal character on a new adventure!

## Key features

### 5/5 — Kids beg to brush their teeth now!

*2026-07-13, version 1.3.22*

My 4yo actually looks forward to brushing thanks to this app. Thank you for creating a free, low stimulation (yet rewarding) experience for children.

### 3/5 — Was working great

*2026-04-13, version 1.3.22*

Music stopped working

### 3/5 — No sound

*2025-10-08*

App has lost its sound

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-06-04, version 1.3.21*

My kids ask me to please brush teeth with this app. It’s fun, helpful and fast and so easy to use

### 5/5 — AMAZING

*2024-02-10, version 1.3.21*

This is just WOW! Let me tell you all about it! You have to put your name and choose your desired animal. When your done, make sure you have a flosser, a toothbrush, and something to rinse with! Then, you will press the arrow at the top corner and the button in the middle! Now you can start! Your animal will lead you step by step! Enjoy!

### 5/5 — Get’s my kids to brush without a fight!

*2021-09-26, version 1.3.0*

I love this app. My 3 year old has Sensory Processing Disorder and it used to be a knock down drag out fight to get him to brush his teeth.  Recently he and his little brother (19 months) have been obsessed using this. They brush for the 2 minutes, and then want to go through the floss and rinse part to continue to brush their teeth. Fantastic app for anyone with a headstrong kiddo!

### 3/5 — Sound???

*2020-11-24, version 1.3.0*

My kids LOVE this app, but where is the sound?? It has worked maybe 5 times, we’ve used the app nearly every night for the last year and a half or so. The music really helps the 2 minutes go by faster. Why won’t the sound work???

### 3/5 — Add more

*2020-11-12, version 1.3.0*

I really love all of it but think they should include brushing the front top and front bottom teeth!

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2020-08-05*

Really good app, helps learn to brush your teeth properly. Would recommend.

### 5/5 — Cool unless on iOS 8

*2019-02-04, version 1.3.0*

This app is really understanding
