Achieving a perfect smile and optimal oral hygiene is easier than ever. BrushMint: Toothbrush Timer is a comprehensive dental care habit tracker for the whole family. Most people brush for less than the recommended two minutes, leading to plaque buildup, cavities, and expensive dental visits. BrushMint transforms your routine into a rewarding and customizable habit, perfect for manual, smart electric, or sonic toothbrushes. ∴ CUSTOMIZABLE BRUSHING & ROUTINE ∴ Take control of your oral health with an app that adapts to you. Set custom timers for 1, 2, or 3 minutes depending on your preference. If you wear braces, aligners, or retainers, activate the Braces Mode to extend your session up to 4 minutes, ensuring every wire is perfectly clean. You will also get visual reminders to use dental floss before brushing and mouthwash afterward for a complete, professional-level daily routine. ∴ KIDS PROFILES & ANIMATED TIMERS ∴ BrushMint turns a boring chore into an exciting game. Create dedicated kids' profiles with customized environments. The kids' timer visually guides children through the different zones of their mouth, ensuring they never miss a spot. With engaging background themes and cheerful ambient music, you can build healthy dental habits early to prevent childhood cavities. ∴ SMART REMINDERS & SNOOZE ∴ It is easy to forget your nighttime dental care when you are tired. Choose between silent alerts, normal push notifications, or persistent reminders so you never miss a brushing session. If you are busy, simply long-press the notification to snooze it for 5, 10, or 20 minutes. Let the app gently nudge you until your teeth are clean and protected. ∴ BRUSH HEAD REPLACEMENT TRACKER ∴ An old, frayed toothbrush fails to clean plaque effectively and can damage your gums. Track the lifespan of your bristles, whether you use a manual brush, an electric Oral-B, a Philips Sonicare, a Colgate, or any sonic brand. Select your toothbrush type and program the exact days or months between replacements. You will receive a timely alert when it is time to change your brush head. ∴ GAMIFICATION & STATISTICS ∴ Stay motivated by earning points every time you complete your brushing, flossing, and mouthwash routine. Use points to unlock relaxing background themes and soothing ambient sounds. Access comprehensive daily, weekly, and monthly statistics to monitor your habit formation, and show your progress to your dentist at your next checkup. ∴ WHY CHOOSE BRUSHMINT? ∴ ◉ Custom timers (1 to 4 minutes) including a specialized Braces Mode. ◉ Reminders to floss, brush, and use mouthwash for complete hygiene. ◉ Dedicated kids' profiles with guided mouth zones and fun music. ◉ Flexible notifications with 5, 10, or 20-minute snooze options. ◉ Replacement alerts for manual, electric, and sonic toothbrush heads. ◉ Reward system to unlock exclusive themes and relaxing sounds. ◉ Detailed statistics to track your daily, weekly, and monthly streaks.
