Today is National Fresh Breath Day, a day to discuss the importance of oral hygiene, and the importance of having minty fresh breath. Coincidentally, it also happens to be my 6-year-old daughter’s birthday — just look at those beautiful, pearly whites thanks to her new Sonicare for Kids toothbrush! (Happy Birthday, Baby!!!)
Seriously, this was a child that I battled with regularly over brushing her teeth, and she’s now thrilled to brush her teeth every morning, noon, and night. These brushes are on the pricey side, but the savings we’re sure to see on dental bills makes them a much more reasonable proposition. Three cheers for clean teeth without any arguments!
In celebration of National Fresh Breath Day, Sonicare would like to give one lucky Deal Seeking Mom two Sonicare brush head refills for the Sonicare toothbrush of your choice!
To enter, just tell me what teeth brushing is like in your household. Are you a three-times-a-day brusher? Is it a struggle to get your kids to brush their teeth regularly?
This giveaway ends at 11:59 a.m. ET on Monday, August 9th and is open to all U.S. residents 18 years or older. I’ll use Comment Contest to select the winning comment. Winner will be notified by email and listed on my Giveaway Winners page. Winners must respond within 24 hours of notification to claim their prize. Good luck!

My kids always need reminding to brush their teeth!!!!!
Jean
We are lucky to get 1 time in for our 2 boys. Our 2 year old likes it better than our 4 year old but it is definitely a task everyday.
cat
twice a day, one time in the morning and one at night. :)
Svea
Two times a day…and if we’re in the mood we floss too.
Melissa
We love our Sonicare! We use it Am & PM here at our house. And we do the dog once a week- that’s the biggest struggle- we don’t use the Sonicare on the dog though…

I always brush my teeth twice a day. I have a toothbrush @ work so if I seriously get something stuck in my teeth that the floss that I keep in my desk can’t get I will brush them then also. So sometimes 3 lol. Let’s see, my husband doesn’t have to brush his due to the fact that he doesn’t have any (unfortunate accident involving a baseball, yeah I’m sure you get the picture/not pleasant). My 16 month old loves when I brush his 8 pearly whites every morning :) BUT, my 10 year old step son hates brushing his teeth. I always have to tell him to go brush his teeth. You would think that would’ve changed since he just got 7 cavities filled at the dentist (his mother never took him to the dentist how sad is that).

Are you kidding, it could be 5 o’clock in the afternoon and i will randomly ask if my two boys age 9 and 11 brushed their teeth today, and all of a sudden there is a mad dash to the bathroom like a zoo, did i mention they have braces too! I brush twice a day!
Kim
I brush twice a day, with the tooth brush I get from my dentist
traci s
my stepson is 9 and still a struggle to get him to brush, maybe this would help him!! and your little girl is beautiful, tell her happy birthday! and i am a morning brusher, and no cavities for me!
Kim
Everyday Is a struggle for us. My 4 & 6 year old fight every morning with me. We are a twice a day family.
Kay S.
We brush twice a day. I have heard that if you do something for two weeks in a row then it becomes habit (like buckling your seatbelt) so brushing just comes automatic for our family.
Claudia
My seven year old, loves brushing her teeth, but my five year old just likes to play around with the water. She could really use something fun to get her to play less and brush her teeth more.
Meridith
I have 3 young kiddos, 8, 5, and 1. It’s always a struggle to get them to brush there teeth even once a day :) My 1 year old wouldn’t even open his mouth for the toothbrush until this week….whew! I’d love to have something that would help us in getting them to brush better.
Marie
We brush our teeth twice a day and our 1 year old gets his 4 teeth cleaned with a fingerbrush.
Sharon
I have 2 grandchildren and when they come to stay with me, they never want to brush their teeth. Well, they saw me using my NEW electric toothbrush and I just happen to have an extra head, only one got to use it, it was my granddaughter. She just LOVED IT. She cannot wait to BRUSH HER TEETH and she keeps telling her brother maybe Nana will buy us one of our own. Well, here is my chance to WIN them one of their own. Please, please so I won’t have to keep nagging them to keep brushing their teeth, since how I know how important dental hygiene is! Their teeth will thank you for it!!!
Jennifer
Teeth brushing is our house is BANANAS! It involves me using my legs to hold my almost 2 year old still while I try to brush his teeth, me telling my almost 5 year old over and over that he is not done yet, and me trying to brush my own teeth with my 3 month old in my arms! Aaah! I have too many kids!! lol
Holly
Brushing teeth is still a struggle in our house. My 22 month old LOVES it, but my five year old thinks of it as a chore. I would love to get her to use a Sonicare, but unfortunately, we tried the “spinning” toothbrush too early with her. It scared her, and now she will have nothing to do with any electronic toothbrush. I’ll keep trying…I have used Sonicare myself for about two years, and I love it! I am prone to have dental problems and had poor dental care as a child, so I had cavities at every single dentist appointment of my entire life (from about six years old on) – truly, no exaggeration – until about 18 months ago, when I had my first cavity-free appointment. (I’m 30 now.) I have had five appointments since then, and still no problems! Did I mention that I love Sonicare? :-)
Liz
Both of my kids brush two times a day and like it for the most part.
Jennifer
I am a tooth brushing fanatic! My 3 year old needs help of course, but she loves to have her teeth brushed- 3 times a day.
Claire
I brush between 2 and 4 times a day, depending upon what I am going and where I am going. I brush my 5 year old son’s teeth every morning and night, and occasionally another time during the day. Sometimes we really have to work up to brushing his teeth! We were just on the Sonicare for Kids website, and he really, really wants one! (Perhaps DSM will offer a contest for one at a later date?) I’m hoping that excitement would transfer over to his interest in brushing on his own, and learning the proper way to brush.

This is funny because I just bought my 5 year old daughter a Sonicare! We are trying to ramp up to 2 times a day. We do one really good brushing at night but the AM is a battle, I’m hoping the Sonciare helps! I always brush 2-3 times a day.
Melissa
My kids brush twice a day – usually without problems. They earn gems for doing so without me asking. I brush 2 or 3 times a day.
Amy in Kansas
I have a teenager who brushes with an obsession and a seven year old who acts like it is the worst request in the world. I would love to have your freebie and if it is good, then I would consider buying another!
laura
Anything to make brushing teeth more exciting sounds great to me!!! I think my teenagers take better care of their teeth than I do, I am ashamed to say!
Jeanette
We brush and floss in the morning and then just brush before bedtime.
marci
My family brush their teeth every morning and at night–just a part of the daily routine. :) A healthy smile makes for a happy life. :)
Marilyn
It is often a struggle to get my youngest to brush her teeth on a regular basis
Karen
I brush last thing at night before bed….and eat/drink nothing but water after brushing :)
jen
I love my Sonicare! I try to brush my teeth >2 times a day – depends on if I fall asleep too fast or not. :)
