Two minutes is a standard, dentist-recommended brushing length. Splitting it into four 30-second sections gives your child a reason to keep moving to a new area instead of brushing one spot the whole time. This timer follows your dentist's guidance in spirit, but it does not evaluate brushing technique or replace advice from your family's dentist.
