Sing your worries about brushing your teeth away with a new app called BrushDJ. A dentist developed the app for iPhones and Android devices to help patients brush their teeth for two minutes twice a day. Dentist Ben Underwood, who lives in York, England, developed the app after watching an episode of BBC's Apprentice. The contestants on the show were asked to design an app, and Underwood had a flash of inspiration for his dental-themed app.
Dentists recommend brushing your teeth for two minutes, but many people get bored or forget to keep track of time. The BrushDJ takes any song in your music library and plays it for two minutes so you can thoroughly brush your teeth for the whole time. The app can also remind you of dental appointments or other dental hygiene routines. The free app is available for download on the BrushDJ website, the iTunes store or the Android app store. To view a video of how the app works, click here for a clip on YouTube.
In addition to brushing your teeth for two minutes twice a day, dentists recommend professional teeth cleanings every six months. Professional teeth cleanings scrape the teeth of plaque buildup, which can lead to more bacteria in the mouth. More bacteria in the mouth can lead to cavities, and professional teeth cleanings remove plaque that is too hard to dislodge during daily teeth brushing.

Although dentists recommend brushing teeth for two minutes, many people fall short of the goal. A study in the U.S. found that the average time spent brushing teeth is 45 seconds, only two-thirds of the recommended time. In the U.K., almost 59% of women and 35% of men skip brushing their teeth before bedtime altogether.

Some electric toothbrushes also have a two-minute timer to help patients remember to brush their teeth for an adequate length of time. Electric toothbrushes can reach areas of the mouth that are hard to access, but manual toothbrushes are also a popular and inexpensive option for brushing teeth. Dentists recommend replacing manual toothbrushes every three to four months because the nylon bristles can wear out over time.
