We love our devices because they make our lives easier! But did you know that\u00a0your smartphone can also\u00a0help you keep good oral hygiene habits? <\/p>\n<h3><strong>How Long Do YOU Spend Brushing Your Teeth?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p> Plaque 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> <\/p>\n<h3><strong>If Brushing For Two Full Minutes Is Hard&#8230;<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p> Those two minutes of brush time will go faster if you\u2019re jamming out to one of your favorite tunes!\u00a0<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.  <strong>Brush DJ even lets you set reminders<\/strong> to change your toothbrush, floss and keep your\u00a0regular dental appointments with us.   <\/p>\n<h3><strong>Of Course, Apps Can\u2019t Do It All<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p> <strong>Remember that your smartphone can\u2019t provide the same oral care that our professional team does!<\/strong>\u00a0Apps provide support, motivation, and encouragement, but nothing compares to the critical one-on-one time with us! <\/p>\n<h3><strong>What\u2019s Your Favorite App?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p> If you\u2019ve used a dental-related app before, let us know which one is your favorite!
