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!

At home here, we encourage good oral habits by using power toothbrushes, and getting the front back, inside out and backwards! Mom double checks every time for any missed spots. Then as a reward, they each get one vitamin to stay healthy. Every once in awhile we also use the little stick flossers from Kroger for $1.50 .

Brush 2 x a day and floss one or two times. Don’t live on sugar. It not only leaves junk on your teeth that give you cavities, but causes disease. Not good for you.

We let the boys pick out the toothpaste and rinse flavors. They also pick out their new tooth brushes. I loved the ones that light up or play music to tell you how long to brush!
