We love our devices because they make our lives easier! But did you know that your smartphone can also help you keep good oral hygiene habits?\n<h3><strong>How Long Do YOU Spend Brushing Your Teeth?<\/strong><\/h3>\nPlaque is soft, but it hides away in nooks and crannies. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to put in a full two minutes every time you brush your teeth. That\u2019s simply how long it takes to thoroughly clean every corner of your mouth! Brushing harder, for a shorter period of time, <strong>isn\u2019t going to get it done.<\/strong>\n<h3><strong>If Brushing For Two Full Minutes Is Hard&#8230;<\/strong><\/h3>\nThose two minutes of brush time will go faster if you\u2019re jamming out to one of your favorite tunes! <strong>Brush DJ is a free smartphone app<\/strong> that will play 2 minutes of music from your own music library, shuffling songs each time. It also has a visual display guiding you on where to brush and for how long.\n\n<strong>Brush DJ even lets you set reminders<\/strong> to change your toothbrush, floss and keep your regular dental appointments with us.\n<h3><strong>Of Course, Apps Can\u2019t Do It All<\/strong><\/h3>\n<strong>Remember that your smartphone can\u2019t provide the same oral care that our professional team does!<\/strong> Apps provide support, motivation, and encouragement, but nothing compares to the critical one-on-one time with us!\n<h3><strong>What\u2019s Your Favorite App?<\/strong><\/h3>\nIf you\u2019ve used a dental-related app before, let us know which one is your favorite! Tell us in the comment section below. We truly love hearing from you and we\u2019ll pass your suggestion along!\n<h6>Top image by Flickr user <span style=\"color: #2a7abd;\"><a style=\"color: #2a7abd;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/janitors\/14775189145\/\" target=\"_blank\">K\u0101rlis Dambr\u0101ns<\/a><\/span> used under <span style=\"color: #2a7abd;\"><a style=\"color: #2a7abd;\" href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/4.0\/\" target=\"_blank\">Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 4.0 license<\/a><\/span>.
