My little boy loves this app. It has plenty of prizes and activities. The graphics are good showing where to brush … it is really good, especially for a free app. I've had no issues, no ads, everything works fine. I replaced another toothbrush timer app he was using with this one and this one is a million times better.
Great app! It helps my child brush her teeth properly, and the features with drawing and reward chests keep her interested
Great application to motivate kids for tooth brushing. Recommend!

Ticko: Tooth Brushing Timer is a kids tooth brushing timer app that turns daily brushing into a fun habit game with cartoons, coloring pages, collectibles, streaks and treasure chests.
Ticko is designed to make brushing more engaging through a friendly robot, visual cues and rewards. These features may help with morning and bedtime routines, but every child responds differently.
Yes. Ticko guides children through a 2-minute brushing timer with a visual tooth map and brushing zones, supporting healthy dental habits and cavity prevention routines.
Ticko is made for kids ages 3-9, including toddlers and children who benefit from visual, predictable routines, cartoons, joy and daily motivation.
Two minutes, twice a day. That is the guidance published by the NHS, and the American Dental Association also recommends brushing twice a day. Ticko's timer runs for exactly two minutes and spreads them across the four zones of the mouth, so each zone gets around thirty seconds instead of the front teeth taking all the attention.
Yes. Ticko has an optional 1-minute mode for toddlers and younger children who cannot manage a full two minutes yet. The guided tooth map and the rewards stay the same and only the session is shorter, so the habit forms before the full duration does.
Finishing a session unlocks a short cartoon episode from Ticko's space adventure, plus progress toward coloring pages with interactive tools, a memory matching game, collectible outfits, accessories, toothbrushes and animated friends, new timer animations, and treasure chests for keeping a streak going. There is also a camera with Ticko-themed masks.
Yes. Ticko works offline, so a bedtime routine or brushing away from home never depends on a connection.
Yes. The app is free to download, and the timer, the visual tooth map and the first cartoon episode are all free. Further dental adventures, coloring packs and collectibles can be unlocked in the app.
Yes. Ticko shows no ads and collects no personal data. It is built for children ages 3-9, with an interface a child can operate alone and no route out of the app.
Yes. Ticko supports multiple child profiles, so each child keeps their own streak, their own collection and their own progress through the cartoon episodes. Siblings do not have to share one record.
Yes. Ticko can send morning and bedtime reminders, and each child has an oral hygiene tracker showing which days were completed. The daily streak is usually what keeps the routine going.
Some parents of children with ADHD or autism tell us that Ticko makes toothbrushing easier and leads to less resistance. Its predictable timer, visual steps, gentle cues and varied rewards can help children stay engaged and know what comes next. Every child responds differently. Ticko is a toothbrushing routine tool, not a treatment for ADHD or autism and not a medical device.
