What’s It About?
The CHOMPERS podcast offers three-minute episodes that teach kids how to brush their teeth based on dentist-recommended guidelines. Episodes follow a twice-daily teeth brushing schedule and include fun themes with quizzes, songs, trivia, bite-sized fun-facts, jokes, riddles, stories, or interviews based on the theme. Once the host gets kids started with their brushing, she engages them with the theme of the day, stopping every 30 seconds to instruct them on the next segment of brushing, before wrapping up at the end (3-2-1, Spit!).

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
