girl holding listerineLISTERINE® 21 Day Challenge We are signed up.  Are you ? Use LISTERINE products for the next 21 days and see the difference in your mouth.  Oral care is always a challenge in my house.  Having 2 kids I am constantly nagging to brush there teeth before school and at bed time.    Everyone in my household is faced with different challenges when it comes to dental health.

My daughter is easier I think it is because she is 8 and loosing her teeth.  She cant wait to loose a tooth and have the tooth fairy to come. I always tell her you have to take care of your new teeth .. she seems to go for it.

My son  age 11 he is more challenging he fights me due to lack of time. I remind min often to clean his teeth.  The flavor of tooth paste was a major issue since he did not like the flavor of minted products.  He is really excited to take party in the challenge.

My husband has been blessed with good genetics in his teeth.  At one point there was a gap in his professional dental care.. I expected the dentist to say he need a ton of work. The dentist gave him a all clear.. I even followed up and he said not he is good.  Very frustrating, since brushing and floss is so important.. he does not spend the time as I do on dental health.

My dental health,  I come from family of oral health major issues. I had a root canal the same week I had a c section. I suffer from bleeding gums and serious tartar.  I do brush regularly, and should floss more.   Since I am also a type 2 diabetic oral care is important because the tartar can effect your sugar numbers.

The largest Dental challenge in our home is.. Due to job loss we don’t go to the dentist as much as we should.  My children have an appointment at the end of the month,  so I am excited to see how much the LISTERINE® 21 Day Challenge improves their check up.girl with toothbrush

Did you know brushing alone misses 75% of your mouth? That’s right—and believe it or not, even if you brush twice a day, you’re likely missing a majority of your mouth, leaving plenty of room for germs to grow.

By using a LISTERINE® Antiseptic mouthwash twice a day for 30 seconds, you can clean virtually 100 percent of your mouth. In fact, you can get:

  • Up to 5 times healthier gums in 2 weeks
  • Up to 9 times healthier gums in 4 weeks*

That’s not just lip service, either! The makers of LISTERINE® know that users will feel a difference—or their money back**.

Participating in this challenge offers the added benefit of joining the makers of LISTERINE® ULTRACLEAN® in helping Oral Health America impact the lives of children nationwide this year through the Smiles Across America® program. Shockingly, oral disease is now the most chronic childhood illness in the U.S.[1] It impacts kids of all backgrounds, but especially the millions who are unable to afford, or otherwise get access to, regular professional care.
