I’m one of those rare breed of people who absolutely loves going to the dentist (I find it so relaxing I almost always fall asleep in the chair!) – I’m also proud of the fact that I don’t have a single filling. So it’s no surprise that Boo has inherited my love for teeth and all that goes with keeping them healthy. We’ve got our oral hygiene routine down to a tee but I’m always looking for ways to keep routines fun. After trying Playbrush for the past week I’m confident we’ve found a fun addition to Boo’s toothbrushing routine that ticks all the boxes for me as a mum.
Playbrush is a smart attachment for any manual toothbrush that connects to a tablet or mobile to via an app that offers games which have been designed to make brushing more fun and to motivate children to brush their teeth for the right amount of time and all around their mouth. It’s suitable for children aged 3-12 years and works great for families looking to establish a great routine but also for children like Boo who are already nailing the toothbrushing game but deserve just all the fun they can get.
From a practical point of view the Playbrush app download and pairing process took a matter of minutes with simple to follow instructions. Once I’d set Boo up on the app and showed her the available games she took to it really well and I even spotted her sneaking back ten minutes later for another brush!
The Playbrush app comes loaded with two free games which are brilliant – check out our favourites below – subscriptions can be bought giving you access to even more brushing adventures and allow parents to monitor their child’s brushing progress in the parent app.
With both time spent and attention given to all areas of the mouth being measured and encouraged through the fun of games Playbrush transforms such a subconsciously mundane part of our twice daily routine as a family to a 2 minute period both in the morning and evening that Boo looks forward to and actively seeks out. Leaderboards and stats trackers built into the app – it’s not long before the competitive side of Boo comes out and she’s determined to continually improve her high score…
Playbrush comes in four colours and a new smart sonic version of Playbrush is now available to pre order ahead of it’s release later this summer. Prices for both models start at £19.99
