Collection: Tooth Brushing Timers

Brushing for 2 minutes ensures that all surfaces of your teeth are thoroughly cleaned. This helps remove plaque and food particles that can lead to cavities and gum
disease. Shorter brushing times might not effectively clean your teeth, leaving harmful bacteria behind.

A 2-minute sand timer provides a visual and fun way to track brushing time. It ensures that children brush for the full recommended duration, helping them develop a thorough and consistent brushing habit.

A sand timer can be helpful for children of all ages, but it is particularly useful for young children who are just learning to brush their teeth independently. The visual cue of the sand running out is simple for them to
understand and follow.

Start by showing your child how the sand timer works. Explain that when the sand runs out, they will have brushed their teeth for the right amount of time. Make it a fun and engaging part of their routine, and consider brushing your teeth together using the timer

Yes, you can use digital timers, phone apps, or musical toothbrushes that play a
song for 2 minutes. However, a sand timer has the advantage of being simple, non-distracting, and easy for children to understand.

Absolutely! While designed with children in mind, a sand timer can be a great tool for adults who want to ensure they are brushing for the recommended time. It's a
simple, low-tech way to keep track of your brushing habits.
