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 daughter has braces, so she brushes her teeth after everytime she eats to keep them clean!

    we drink only water and milk…. once in a blue moon i allow the kids a juice box or a little soda

    I let my daughter pick out her own mouth wash when she turned 6 and was old enough to use it. She picked out the character she wanted and uses it every day without asking!

    My daughter is a year and a half and she just likes to use her toothbrush and toothpaste like Mommy!

    I let the boys choose their own toothbrushes and flavor of toothpaste. Once they were a part of the decision making process, they enjoyed it more.

    Start kids out early! When they are in the highchair give them a special toothbrush after eating, you can even use babie toothpast and they love it. It also great for when they are teething since they love to chew on things. Once they are older they will still like to brush, you can switch up their toothbrushes and get the fun ones, and the cool mouthwash with their fav. caracters. Remember to teach them to brush in circles for best results. If it works for our lifestyle you can alwayse brush the same time they do. It helps show them what to do, you can even make it a game.

    I found that using an electric toothbrush seemed to keep them more interested in brushing. The real trick is to get them to floss.

    We use a fun timer in the bathroom to teach our kids how long they should brush their teeth!

    I bought my daughter a Thomas battery operated toothbrush- she likes to have him brush her teeth
