Oral-B Timer App

I'm going to take a second to say how much I love things that make my life easier (duh!), especially when it's free. My two oldest kiddos had to go under for dental work because they're very anxious and have very sensitive gag reflexes, which makes brushing their teeth both difficult and a huge ordeal. I have tried for a couple years to try and find a way for them to tolerate, if not eventually like, brushing their teeth to no avail. In an act of desperation, I went where I always go for advice— Pinterest (just kidding...kind of...). Anyhow, I kept seeing charts and this app recommended. My oldest would get the point of the chart, but no one else, so we gave the app a try. My younger son still doesn't love having his teeth brushed, but he tolerates it. On the other hand, my oldest loves it! He loves watching as the toothbrush brushes away the picture and that he gets a new "sticker" each time he brushes.

The reviews say that the music doesn't work since the latest update: we haven't been able to get the sound to work, but my kids don't know any different, so that hasn't been a problem for us. All in all, it's an excellent and helpful app that has made our morning and bedtime routines just a touch simpler and easier (thank goodness!).
