Did you know that more than half of adult Americans have some form of gum disease? It’s scary but true. Having bad teeth can really cause havoc on a person’s life. I don’t know one person that wakes up and say’s “Yay! Today I get to go to the dentist and have 3 cavities filled”. Going to the dentist is scary and most of the time painful, but there are easy things that we can all do, to help to prevent oral disease. Prevention starts at home, and it’s never too late to start a good oral care routine. So for the next month my family and I will be taking the Listerine 21-Day Oral care Challenge.
What is the Oral Care Challenge
The LISTERINE® challenge is simple and easy for everyone to do. For 21 days LISTERINE® is encouraging Americans to commit, and stick to, a twice daily rinsing routine. This means after you brush and floss your teeth you will follow it up with a nice, long rinse. You may be thinking that brushing and flossing alone are enough to help get your teeth healthy and clean but that’s just not true. In fact brushing alone misses 75% of your mouth. Plus your mouth just feels so good after you rinse.
Taking the Challenge
As a mom, I have two very important people who follow my lead on how to live a healthy lifestyle. By allowing them to see me brush, floss and rinse both morning and night I hope to encourage them to continue to do the same. So because of this, my whole family will be taking the 21 day LISTERINE® challenge. We’ve always brushed and flossed our teeth morning and night but rinsing wasn’t something that we regularly did, until now. I am really excited about the challenge and look forward to seeing a difference 3 weeks will make on our oral health.

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.
