Listerine is challenging families to improve their oral care and Rosie and I are taking the challenge!
Sounds easy? Â Why don’t we do it? Â It needs to become a habit and by accepting this challenge – I’m hoping that we will establish the habit! Â For me, I grew up brushing twice a day and I still do that, but the flossing and rinsing… well, not-so-much. Â Did you know that brushing alone misses as much as 75% of the germs in your mouth? Â Adding a therapeutic mouthwash is an essential step in proper oral care. Â I try. Â I do well for a bit then fall off again. Â I’m truly planning that by doing it twice a day consistently for two weeks we will establish a routine and a habit.
Okay, heading upstairs to do it now. Â An added benefit? Â I won’t be tempted to eat/snack because I’ve already brushed my teeth. Â Yes! Â I love double-duty habits. Â brb
Ah! Â It felt good! Â This is what I did:
- put a new head on my electric toothbrush
- actually listened to the two minute timer thingie and brushed for two minutes
- flossed
- used tongue scraper
- rinsed with Listerine Smart Rinse
Rosie said she doesn’t want to do it until bedtime, so when I came downstairs, my inner child came out and said, “My mouth feels good! Nonny, nonny, boo, boo!” Â *sigh* Someday, I will grow up!
Day One, well, really Day Half: Â Success!
