Join me every week for Win-It Wednesday, with 24-hour giveaways just for you!

A few weeks ago I shared that my family was participating in the Listerine Oral Care Challenge to promote better oral care habits for the entire family. I have to admit this was a bit of a tough challenge for us, but we made a lot of progress overall.
It seemed like the mouth rinse was a big hit and the easiest habit to maintain — as evidenced by the additional cleaning of the faucets, mirrors and sinks I’ve had to do in the bathrooms. But that’s a small price to pay for a healthier mouth! The flossing was a tougher sell because none of my kids are really old enough and coordinated enough to do it themselves, yet they’re old enough that they really don’t want Mom messing around in their mouths too much. We’ll continue to work on this area…
But the biggest success of the challenge was just getting them focused on brushing more often and being more aware of the concept of better oral care habits as a whole and why they’re important. The Listerine Oral Care Challenge gave us the tools to talk about why brushing alone isn’t enough and inspired them to want to take better care in brushing, rinsing and flossing — ensuring that they maintain these gorgeous smiles that I love!

The habits we instill in our children while they’re still young and usually habits that will last a lifetime, so I’d encourage you all to give this a try with your kids. Listerine has some useful information and printable tip sheets available that I would definitely recommend checking out!

Just make it habit. My kids have been to the dentist since they were 1 and have never had a problem, it’s just routine for them.

We do all of our hygeine to music. Brushing is one song, a shower is 3 songs.

We like to play dentist at night with our boys. We have them lean back like they are in the chair so we can floss them. This helps fight the wiggles, but allows us to floss them easier. We also buy new toothbrush, losses, toothpaste, etc. regularly, allowing the boys to pick out new flavors and characters so they are excited about participating in the process and feel its really their responsibility.

I tell my kids “You don’t have to brush all of your teeth, only the ones you want to keep!!!” That gets my 8 yr old son’s eyebrows to raise and he brushes them :)
