We're Taking the Listerine Oral Care Challenge - Week 1

I take dental health pretty seriously.  Personally, I have never had a cavity. (Full disclosure - I am terrified of both needles and the drill, so that has provided me with some serious motivation to keep my teeth in good shape!)  


I do my best to help LJ adopt good oral care habits so that he will continue to have good dental check-ups as well.  Not that it isn't a challenge - he does not seem to be motivated by the same fear than I was am.  My main struggle with him has been getting him to remember to brush in the morning before leaving for school and getting him to floss.

When I was offered the chance to participate in the Listerine Oral Care Challenge, I thought this might be just the push we needed to get into some better habits that would last.  As part of the challenge, kids and parents pledge to brush, floss and rinse twice a day for two weeks.  Since most research suggests that about 21 days is what it takes to cement a habit for good, my family will actually be doing this for three weeks total.


I'll be updating you on how it is going and how well we are sticking to the plan!


I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Listerine and received product samples to facilitate my review and a promotional item to thank me for taking the time to participate.
