Brush DJ

Brush DJ is a free and multi-award-winning app that innovatively transforms your toothbrushing routine into an engaging experience. Available on the NHS Apps Library, this toothbrush timer plays two minutes of music from your device, cloud, or streaming service. By doing so, it aims to make brushing for the recommended duration more enjoyable. Designed by a dentist, it not only helps maintain oral health by reducing the risk of gum disease and tooth decay but also introduces users to new music while rediscovering existing playlists.

Key Features and Oral Health Management

Compatible with both manual and electric toothbrushes, Brush DJ offers a range of features that support effective oral hygiene. It includes customizable reminders for essential tasks such as changing your toothbrush or brush head every three months, brushing at least twice daily, flossing or cleaning interdentally every day, and using a mouthrinse separately from toothpaste. Additionally, it suggests timing for your next visit to dental professionals like dentists, hygienists, orthodontists, or dental therapists.

Personalization and Educational Resources

Brush DJ allows users to personalize their experience by selecting screen and timer colors to match their toothbrush or bathroom. This level of customization enhances the user's connection with the app. Furthermore, it includes short animated videos demonstrating basic oral hygiene techniques, complemented by the latest age-specific guidelines from Public Health England’s toolkit. These resources ensure that users have access to evidence-based information to support their oral health routines.

Continuous Improvement and Community Engagement

With free updates offered for new oral health information, users of Brush DJ can stay informed on best practices. This app also invites the community to contribute by suggesting improvements or favorite songs that could feature in the weekly top music chart for brushing. Brush DJ is an essential tool for anyone looking to maintain healthy oral hygiene with a touch of entertainment.
