Listerine Challenge Prize Pack Giveaway (1 Winner!) #healthyhabits

by

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!

    my kids use the blue listerine that shows how well they’ve brushed. They find it very encouraging to see if they’ve removed all the “blue gunk” after they’ve brushed their teeth!

    I encourage my kids and grandkids to brush at the same time I am. With my grandson, we play a game with our electric toothbrushes and brush our teeth and then use the rinse. They giggle at the blue teeth after they brush!

    Our family brush and floss our teeth together morning and night. Once the kid’s do their own, mom or dad will help check to be sure no “bugs” were missed.

    Use all the neat oral products they make. That way it is fun to brush 2 take care of their teeth.

    I am already a fb fan :0) I encourage my family to practice great oral care by maiking it a part of our daily routine for the WHOLE family. We brush morning and evening and we go to the dentist regularly. I don’t feel that families that brush together need any extra tricks or activities to get their kids to brush if parents demonstrate and practice good oral care from toddler age :0)

    I ALWAYS GET MY GIRLS TO SING A SONG WHILE BRUSHING OR TO TRY TO BRUSH ALONG WITH ME, ITS HARD TO GET THEM TO BRUSH BUT TELLING THEM ABOUT THE SUGAR BUGS HELPS TOO!
