BRUSHY ISLAND
Now on iPhone For kids aged 4 to 10

Bedtime brushing they'll actually ask for.

Brushy Island turns the two-minute brush into a game. The phone's camera sees which side of the mouth your child is brushing, and their buddy catches falling snacks right there. Fill the tummy, finish the whole mouth, collect the stars.

How a night works

Two minutes, four little steps

Prop the phone on the sink, tap play, and the island takes it from there. Here's what your child sees.

Who's brushing?

Each child taps their own picture. Up to five kids, each with their own buddy, streak and settings.

Mojo, Dex or Luna hops onto their island, hungry and ready for snacks.

Brush to feed

The buddy moves to whichever side your child is brushing. Snacks only fall where the brush should go next.

Fill the tummy

Combos, golden snacks and surprise visitors keep it fun. The tummy fills with the clock, so every child finishes full.

The mouth route

Every side, every night

The game walks through eight brushing positions in order, about 15 seconds each. A friendly voice and a little mouth map show where to go next, with a countdown before every switch.

The NHS recommends brushing for about two minutes, twice a day. Eight stops of 15 seconds gets you there.

Meet the buddies

Built for real families

One phone, the whole family

Everyone gets their own

Each child has their own profile, buddy, streak and brushing history. Younger kids get slower snacks.

A family goal, not a leaderboard

Kids see their brushing days side by side and work towards one shared weekly goal. Nobody comes last, so the youngest never loses.

Teach your buddy

A short setup game learns how each child holds their brush, so tracking fits small hands and big ones.

For the grown-ups

Less nagging, more knowing

A quiet parent area sits behind a grown-up check, with everything you need to keep the habit going.

Brushing insights

See each child's week at a glance, their streak, and the spot they tend to miss.

Often misses: bottom right, chewing teeth

Bedtime reminders

A gentle nudge at the time you choose. It stays quiet on nights everyone has already brushed.

Grown-up lock

Settings, profiles and links sit behind a quick grown-up question, so little fingers can't change things.

Any toothbrush

Manual or electric. There's an electric-brush mode for buzzy brushes too.

A calm finish

Stars, a streak and a soft goodnight tune at the end. No cliffhangers before bed.

Same spot, every night

The app checks the phone is back in its usual place before each game, so tracking stays accurate.

Privacy first

The camera watches the brush. It never records.

Brushy Island looks at the camera picture live, works out which side is being brushed, then throws the picture away. Your family's data stays on your phone.

Getting set up

Where the phone goes

Face height

Prop the phone upright on the sink or a shelf, level with your child's face.

Arm's length

About an arm's length away, so their whole face fits in the circle.

Light from the front

A light on their face helps the camera see the brush clearly.

Same spot nightly

Their buddy learns from where the phone sits, so put it back in the same place.

Questions

Things parents ask

Does the camera record my child?

No. The camera picture is analysed live on the phone to see which side of the mouth is being brushed, then it's thrown away. No photos or video are ever saved or sent.

What ages is it for?

Brushy Island is made for children aged 4 to 10. Younger players get slower snacks, and the voice guides every step so they don't need to read.

Do we need a special toothbrush?

No. Any manual or electric toothbrush works. Turn on electric-brush mode in the parent area if you use an electric one.

Which phones does it work on?

Brushy Island is available for iPhone on the App Store. Android isn't available yet.

Can siblings share one phone?

Yes. You can add up to five children. Each one picks their own picture, buddy and streak, and the family board shows everyone together.

How much does it cost?

Brushy Island is free to download and try. You'll find the latest prices on our App Store page.

Is it a dental product?

No. Brushy Island is a fun way to build a brushing habit. It isn't medical or dental advice, so keep up your regular dental check-ups.
