Brush DJ

About this app

Free with no in-app purchases or adverts. We just want you and your family to brush your teeth effectively every day:)

The multi-award winning Brush DJ app is suitable for use by all ages and is recommended in the NHS 'Delivering Better Oral Health toolkit'. This toothbrush timer plays 2 minutes of music from your devices or cloud to make toothbrushing for an effective length of time less boring!

Brush DJ has been developed by a dentist for anyone wanting to reduce their risk of gum disease and tooth decay. The app helps keep your smile healthy and breath fresh. Also, by
using this app you will find new songs and rediscover your music collection - from guilty pleasures to holiday anthems!

Brush DJ works with either a manual or electric toothbrush and allows you to set reminders
to:
• Change your toothbrush/brush head every 3 months
• Brush at least twice a day
• Floss/clean interdentally every day
• Use a mouthrinse at a different time to toothpaste
• When next to visit dentist, hygienist, orthodontist or dental therapist

You can choose the colour of the screen and timer to match your toothbrush, bathroom or just pick your favourite colour combinations. There are short, animated videos showing how to carry basic oral hygiene tasks such as flossing, using and interdental brush and a manual toothbrush. The latest evidence-based age specific information is given from the NHS toolkit ‘Delivering Better Oral Health’ in text and video format.

Feedback on how you feel Brush DJ can be improved is welcomed via www.brushDJ.com.
Here you can also let us know your favourite song to brush to, which might make it into the weekly Brush DJ Top 5 chart!

Ratings and reviews

update Jan 17, 2026: still buggy updated review to acknowledge the team's responsiveness to issues raised. The app is a bit buggy and disappointing, but a good idea when it works, would be even better if songs could be searched and pulled in more easily and maybe even select a choice part. There seem to be no options to change stuff in progress, after you start the timer. Some songs work, but I picked one song on my device and just got an error, and the counter continued but nothing would play.

Great app for teenagers! My 13 and 15 yo will actually use it bc it's not an app for little kids, so it's wonderful!! They like the music options too. Suggestion for future: I'd really like it if I could see the days I brush on a calendar. Then even get my whole family involved, and have a healthy competition going with the kids on who brushed more that week! But I know you're actively working on it and so far so good. Keep it up!

Great! I've never been more consistent about brushing my teeth. The only suggestion is notifications should have varying levels of annoyance if you need more motivation! Like one that is more of an alarm than a reminder. It would also be nice to access another music app like pandora or YouTube music if you don't have Spotify premium. But otherwise, great app and great concept. I love the ragtime song :) Thank you!!
