Ok, how many of you took the Listerine ® 21 Day Challenge with me and my family? I hope you did and enjoyed the process of creating a healthier happier family with a new and improved oral hygiene plan.
If this is your first time visiting, read my first post about my family’s oral routine and what the Listerine ® 21-Day Challenge is about. Our family challenged ourselves to creating a new routine and kick our old one last month by changing a few of our daily task.
Here’s what we were doing before the challenge:
Morning- wake up, brush your teeth, rinse and go about your day
Night- Take showers, brush your teeth and head to bed
As you can see, we totally missed rinsing and flossing ever night! It’s not that I didn’t know that it needed to be done because I did. I just stopped checking to make sure the boys were doing it on the regular. Yea I know, I know- I’m a bad mama but that’s ok because I got us back on track by creating a fun morning/evening routine schedule for everyone to make things easier.
The first thing we changed was rinsing. Did you know that brushing missing over 75% of your mouth? Eww, right?
So we started by rinsing twice daily for 30 seconds each time. I set the timer, placed our rinse cups out and let the boys get to it and with Listerine’s ® Smart Rinse technology, it makes it super easy and quick for them to finish up.
We also changed to a more kid friendly floss and bought electronic toothbrushes that kids are really enjoying, but the biggest difference was rinsing.
We had such a good time completing the Listerine ® 21-Day Challenge and we only changed small things but they created a big impact on the kid’s oral hygiene. I can see how happy my kids are about showing me how clean their teeth are and I personally felt a difference in how healthy my mouth felt after completing the challenge. Now that we started, we’re hooked. There’s no going back!
So what about you and your family? How have you or how are you going to changed your oral hygiene? Did you participate in the Listerine® 21- Day Challenge? If so, how did you do? Share below I would love to hear how it went.
