Brush with Jackson: This app could guide your kids to brush their teeth for the recommended 2 – 3 minutes.

This app has been featured in the British Dental Journal and Vital Magazine and has been recommended by senior dentists. For children, this app would create a healthy habit of keeping their teeth clean. However, this app needs a timer I think. Brush with Jackson costs USD 1.99.
