Toothbrushing Checklist

Take “go brush your teeth” and turn it into clear, visual steps kids can actually follow.

The Toothbrushing Checklist breaks a full brushing routine into small, easy-to-follow visual steps, showing kids where to brush, how to move their toothbrush, and how long to brush each area.

It’s a great option for kids who benefit from visual directions but don’t need the characters or game element of the Sugar Bug Checklist.

🦷 How It Works

The checklist divides brushing into three areas:

Incisors → Canines → Molars

Each area is broken into 4 visual steps, with highlighted teeth showing exactly where to focus. The visuals also show different brushing motions, including:

• ↔️ Side-to-side
• 🔄 Circular motions
• ↕️ Up-and-down
• 🦷 Different surfaces and areas of the teeth

Each step is completed for 10 seconds. When it’s finished, kids check the box and move to the next visual. Working through all 12 steps creates a full 2-minute brushing routine.

⏱️ Why It Helps

For a child, “brush your teeth for two minutes” can still leave a lot of unanswered questions:

• Where do I start?
• Which teeth am I supposed to brush?
• How am I supposed to move the toothbrush?
• Did I already brush that part?
• When am I actually done?

This checklist puts those answers right in front of them. Instead of relying on repeated verbal reminders from an adult, kids can look at the visual, complete one step, check it off, and move to the next.

💛 Simple or Gamified—You Choose

This checklist is the straightforward version of the Sugar Bug Checklist. Both use visuals to show kids where, how, and how long to brush, but this version removes the characters and battle theme.

For kids who need a little more motivation, the Sugar Bug Checklist turns the same routine into a battle against Incisor Invader, Canine Chomper, and Molar Masher.
