LISTERINE ORAL CARE CHALLENGE PART 2

 My family had the opportunity do a Listerine Oral Care Challenge with my family, I was sent several products to review the past few months.

Reach Brand Total Care dental floss
Listerine Smart Rinse




We have been teaching our oldest child (6 years) the importance of taking care of his teeth because many of his adult teeth are coming in. We go to the dentist for check ups and cleanings 2 times a year. Unfortunately many times at the end of the night we are tired and do not always brush our teeth. These products motivated us and gave us an opportunity to be the example to our children.

Receiving some products for children with Batman, Phineas and Ferb, Barbie on the labels is perfect for children because they want to use these products with their favorite characters on them. My son being a big Phineas & Ferb fan he has excited to use his Phineas & Ferb Reach toothbrush and Phineas & Ferb Listerine Smart Rinse.


Prior to receiving these products we had not taught our son how to floss, this was a perfect opportunity to do so. The Reach Access Flosser is perfect to use to teach a 1st time flosser. The long handle is great for little hands. I know as an adult I have never enjoyed flossing my teeth, it's one of my least favorite things to do but after using Reach Brand Total Care Floss I love to floss! This is not your typical floss, the string is made of a nylon type material that glides gently through my teeth!



I would say my boys most favorite thing about the challenge is using their Listerine Smart Rinse. I allow them to pour it into their own little cups and rinse. They ask constantly if they can do it which is great because it's great for their teeth!

Participating in the Oral Care Challenge has made us accountable,  we look forward to continuing to use these products this year and continue to make sure we have healthy teeth!

  11. I tried to get my kids to use a rinse, but so far, haven't liked the ones I tried. I'll have to try the Listerine since your kids like it. :)

  12. It is so important to teach children to care for their teeth properly. I was never sure how to floss and I have so many cavities between my teeth. I have flossed the children's teeth since they were little, but they still can't really do it themselves. The Access Flosser sounds great. My girls would love to be able to use a rinse. They would always pretend to be doing their "listerine" with me by using water. What age is the rinse for?
    Thanks for sharing.
