Home › The two-minute brush timer with Shades

Kids' Cove

Two minutes, four corners, one rescued reef.

Dentists recommend brushing for two full minutes, twice a day. Our timer splits it into four 30 second zones, one for each corner of the mouth.

Parents ask us

When should my child first see a dentist?

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a first visit by the first birthday or within six months of the first tooth. Under 3, most visits are a gentle lap exam with the parent right there.

How often should my child have a checkup?

Checkups every six months keep little problems little. Each routine visit includes a comprehensive exam, a professional cleaning, and a growth check.

Who is Shades?

Shades is our mascot, a white dog in black sunglasses. He stars in five free picture books on the Storybook Reef.

Is there a bedtime story that ends with brushing?

Yes. Goodnight, Reef is one of the five free picture books on the Storybook Reef, and it ends with the two-minute brush.
