## What is Toothbrush Timer?

OVERVIEW
The exciting new twist on brushing your teeth! We live in the 21st century, so let's brush our teeth like it! No more caveman guessing how long to brush, Toothbrush Timer guides you the whole way through! Imagine a world, where everyday you finish brushing your teeth to a roaring applause. Complete with cool blue graphics that are easy on the morning eyes and awesome tips that will surely help your dental game.

FEATURES
Toothbrush Timer includes all of these great features:

- TIMER
Using a timer makes brushing extremely effective. Toothbrush Timer tells you when and where to brush your teeth using dentist recommended tips. Scientific data suggests that lack of proper brushing can cause advanced gum disease and can even increase the risks of serious conditions such as cardiovascular disease, stroke, or pneumonia. The timer helps to reduce these risks by giving you the ability to use the two minute interval (for electric toothbrushes) or adjustable intervals for traditional toothbrushes.

- TOOTHBRUSH TRACKER
Do you remember how long ago your current toothbrush was purchased? Worn toothbrushes can damage gum tissue, become a breeding ground for germs, or lose effectiveness. Dentists recommend replacing toothbrushes every 3 months. Luckily, Toothbrush Timer comes with a toothbrush tracker that alerts you how long your toothbrush has been used.

- DENTIST REMINDER
Don't get any more cavities! Toothbrush Timer reminds you of your last dentist appointment, so that you can make time in your busy day to get checked out.

Brushing your teeth will never be the same again!

### 5/5 — I miss this app!

*2019-07-12, version 1.2*

This is the best toothbrushing app I have found. My two older kids used it to learn to brush and it really reduced tension at brushing time. Now I want to use it with my third and the app hasn’t been updated and won’t work on my iPhone any longer. Please update. Also, I’d LOVE a kindle version! Thanks!

### 5/5 — Works!

*2017-11-14, version 1.2*

This app works great. You can adjust the timer to fit your needs!

### 5/5 — I've been waiting to find this!!

*2016-09-17, version 1.2*

I have two boys with autism and this is a great visual tool to show them exactly what I mean when brushing their teeth! Other Timers are great but they weren't explaining what really needed to happen. Thanks for making this one.

### 5/5 — Life Changer!

*2015-03-28, version 1.2*

Great app to keep try of brushing your teeth, going to the dentist and replacing your tooth brush. Never crashes too! Use it every time I brush my now. Worth every penny!

### 3/5 — It's cool but

*2015-03-13, version 1.2*

It froze after the first time using it. It just displays a tongue after I finished brushing and I can't press anything. it must be a glitch. After I exited and relaunched the app it finally returns to the main menu. 

My mouth feels so clean I never used to brush for longer than 20 seconds wow

### 1/5 — Meh

*2015-01-09, version 1.2*

It's a fine timer with some perks, but the illustrations are lacking.
It MUST have a more realistic and clear representation of the mouth, teeth, gums, and tongue to be effective. 
I know you're trying to be artsy with the 'watercolor cartoon' look but it's extremely ineffectual and unrelatable, and the 'highlighting' of the areas during the brushing is ABSOLUTELY AWFUL and unclear to a small child.
What were you thinking?

### 5/5 — Great app but

*2014-12-03, version 1.2*

There should be a way to add timers for tongue brushing, gums, and 30 seconds of mouthwash. That'd take an extra minute. Also auto play music from library. The app is breaking after the end of the timer lately for some reason!!!! All objects on screen go invisible and it's just the background showing!!! Thank you for a great app!

### 5/5 — Cool beans

*2014-08-12, version 1.2*

This app really works! I just got done using it and my breath smells GREAT!!!
LOVE IT!!  ;)

### 5/5 — awesome but add timing to scrape tongue

*2014-05-28, version 1.2*

I loved this! It made brushing a lot more fun and I think everyone should have this app on there phones/iPods. It makes the time go by quicker! The only thing I could suggest is adding at least 10-15 seconds to scrape the tongue because that is an important part in keeping fresh,clean breath. Otherwise , great job.

### 5/5 — BEST EVERRR

*2013-10-16, version 1.2*

my teeth feel so ... CLEANN OMGG 😂😂💕👌😊😍😍😋 AND I HAVE BRACES
