My family is pretty good about oral hygiene- mostly because I have drilled it into their heads, and I am more then a little crazy about making sure everyone brushes, rinses, and flosses every day, twice a day.  You only get one set of teeth, take care of them, right?  Also, when you have oral health issues, it tends to cause other problems, even things as serious as heart disease.  Pregnant woman really need to be careful with their teeth- baby really weakens them.  Now there is a fun, free app for kids to help get them into the swing of things, and get them excited about brushing.

The Listerine 21 Day Challenge

March 2, 2015 by 7 Comments

Disclosure:I received LISTERINE® Brand products and a Walgreens gift card from Johnson & Johnson Healthcare Products Division of McNEIL-PPC, Inc. and The Motherhood as part of my participation in the LISTERINE® 21-Day Challenge. All thoughts and opinions expressed in this post are my own.

pic6Recently, my family and I took the Listerine 21 Day Challenge.   You might recall the blog post I wrote about it when we first started.  It was an easy challenge to take- not really all that challenging- and our mouths are that much happier for it.  It was made even easier with the emails and reminders that LISTERINE sent on a daily basis. Our breath is better for longer, and my mouth does feel fresh and clean.

By signing up for the 21 Day Challenge and sticking with your twice daily rinsing routine, you will have a daily opportunity to instantly win exciting prizes, including a Fitbit®, a $100 Container Store® Gift Card, an Amazon Fire TV, or more.  For every seven consecutive days you swish, you’ll be entered into one of the sweepstakes drawings for a grand prize.  It’s a win-win situation, really.   (See what I did there?)
