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!

    Getting into routine and habit of just doing it is the best way to make sure it gets done!! After awhile it’s just natural and you brush and floss and use mouthwash everyday.

    Staying in a routine. Get the kids use to brush twice a day and it will be come a habit.

    We tell them about the “sugar bugs” u have to brush them out if not they eat ur teeth. ha

  8. Jill

    I lead by example and make sure my kids always seeing me flossing, brushing my teeth and using mouthwash!

    Its definitely easier when you make it part of your morning and bedtime routine. For my son, buying the electric toothbrushes makes it easier for him to be interested in brushing. For myself, i try and think about how much money I’ll save avoided avoidable dentist visits.

    I give my kids new toothbrushes and paste in their Christmas stocking and Easter basket. A few Christmases ago, they opened up their stockings and said, “New toothbrushes! Let’s go brush our teeth!” before they even opened a single present. :)

    My 4 boys get fun new toothbrushes, floss sticks, and mouth rinse in their stockings, Easter baskets, and any other time I can squeeze it in. They love switching it up and having their very own stuff.

    I sing a song when I help my two and half year old son when brushing his teeth. We try to encourage good habits and tell him that its better to have shiny teeth than nasty teeth.

    Each of my kids has their own fun toothbrush and toothpaste…and we visit our dentist every six months.

    my girls and I all brush our teeth together and set a timer. It’s become a ritual at our house
