Getting kids to brush their teeth doesn't have to be a battle. Brush Buddy turns every brushing session into an exciting experience with music, stories, educational facts, jokes, and rewards.
Designed by Dr. E, a Pediatric Dentist, Brush Buddy builds healthy habits that last a lifetime.

How It Works

Pick an avatar, choose your favorite topics, and start brushing! The app guides kids through each
brushing session with a timed routine that covers every part of their mouth. The front-facing
camera acts as a mirror so kids can watch themselves brush — no recording, no saving, just a mirror.

4 Fun Brushing Modes
- Sing Along: 17 original songs with dental themed lyrics — from silly toddler tunes to cool songs for
bigger kids
- Story Time: 10 narrated and illustrated stories with life lessons woven in
- Fun Facts: 280 educational facts across 14 categories including dinosaurs, space, ocean, animals, and more
- Fun Mode: Kid-friendly riddles and jokes that keep them laughing while they brush

The Plaque Game
An interactive mouth diagram shows animated "plaque bugs" on the teeth. As kids brush through each
quadrant, they watch the bugs disappear with sparkle effects. It makes brushing feel like a game
and teaches proper technique — brush every section!
