I found a potential solution through an Instagram ad forTruthbrush.
So it wasnt just me?
Dentists recommend you assist with or monitor brushing until a child is at least 7 years old.
We know how important dental health ismy kids have never missed a dentist appointment or even had a cavity.
Before Truthbrush, my extra monitoring and nagging didnt really make brushing more appealing.
What Truthbrush does
The Truthbrush equipment loops securely around a manual or electric toothbrush handle.
Like a Fitbit for oral care, it tracks brushing events, duration, and coverage.
The Truthbrush appmakes it easy to see your brushing stats, including frequency, duration, and coverage.
you’re free to set reminders, create goals, and earn rewards.
We all rest peacefully with clean teeth.
Its not a perfect system.
Does seeing this motivate you to give a shot to improve your stats?
No, she said.
Would going to the dentist and getting cavities motivate you?
No, she said with an eye roll.
How can we use this information to motivate better brushing habits?
Let me see [younger sisters] stats.
I will definitely use this to my advantage.
It’s pretty easy to set up and create profiles in the app.
you’re able to tap into siblings gamer competitiveness to motivate them toward better brushing.
Cons
The cost: It starts at $25 for one Classic tracker.
Theres no subscription fee for the app, though.
I still have to follow through with reminders.
The Truthbrush machine is not their actual mom.
