My dentist made an interesting point the last time I had an appointment scheduled. A pretty lady, I never miss the chance to talk with her no matter what the topic is. Thoroughly professional that she is, usually the topic is teeth. But what she said did catch me by surprise.

Most of the problems that plague our teeth such as plaque can be avoided by proper brushing which lasts for the recommended three minutes. If you think you know it all, try timing yourself the next time you go in to brush. Ill bet you that its a hell lot shorter then the recommended time. The toothpaste doesnt matter if you get the timing right.

So if you cant get a hang of it, then how do you expect the kids to? Get the circus clown toothbrush timer which features a small hourglass timer on the clowns head that kids can flip over when they begin brushing. The timer, which lasts for 2.5-3 minutes, will keep them focused on doing the job right for an effective amount of time.

When their time is up, the clown puts on a smile! Wooden clown stand has non-skid bottom and features a cup for holding toothbrushes. Handmade in China
