LISTERINE® “Oral Care Challenge”

This time of year always means a lot of sweets!  Whether its leftover Halloween candy or holiday pies and cakes -- eating sweets may seem like harmless fun but as pediatric oral disease is the #1 chronic childhood illness it’s important we make sure to take care of our mouths!

This sweet-filled season presents a great moment in time to teach our children the importance of taking care of our teeth and how those oh-so-good sweets can affect them.  We’ve all been taught the importance of regular brushing and flossing, but brushing alone misses the germs in 75% of your mouth! Adding a therapeutic mouthwash to your daily routine of brushing and flossing is an essential step in keeping your mouth healthy and protected.

I am all about good dental hygiene!  Growing up we did not have dental insurance and honestly my parents never stressed the importance of dental care.   So when I was offered a chance to partake in a LISTERINE® “Oral Care Challenge” for me, hubby and daughter (only 6 and older could participate), I jumped at the chance!

To complete the challenge, kids, alongside their parents, have to brush, floss and rinse every day, twice a day for three weeks—a key step in building a strong oral care foundation.  

So stay tuned and in 3 weeks I will tell you how it went!!!
