Join us in the Listerine 21 Day Challenge #Listerine

Did you know that brushing alone misses 75% of your mouth?

I was amazed by this fact that I had to put it up in big, bold print. Even if you brush twice a day, you're likely missing a majority of your mouth. I have to say I'm a bit of a fanatic when it comes to my teeth. I've been told by my dentist that I'm brushing too hard. I just can't help it. Teeth are one of the first features that people look at, so you want them to be clean, right? I'm very conscious about food in between my teeth. I am constantly using floss or a pik. My husband is just as neurotic as I am. He's had some dental issues growing up, so maintaining an oral health routine is important to him.

Don't get me started on my son's brushing habits. He's 6, need I say more? If I can get him to brush his teeth for a minute it would be a miracle. He just bought the Gangnam style tooth brush, so I'm hoping while he's dancing he won't realize he's suppose to be cleaning his little pearly whites.

I was excited when I was invited to take the Listerine 21 day challenge to improve our oral health. We will be brushing, flossing and gargling with Listerine. This challenge may be difficult at first for our son, but I intend on keeping it fun for him.

By using Listerine Antiseptic mouthwash twice a day for thirty seconds you will get:

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

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.  

Did you know?

• Oral disease is now the most chronic childhood illness in the U.S. This statistic alone is devastating to hear especially since millions are unable to afford or get access to routine dental care.  
• There are more germs in your mouth than there are people on earth!!
• As many as 130 million Americans lack dental insurance, including more than 15.4 million children.
• More than 51 million school hours and 164 millions work hours are lost each year due to dental disease

For every person who signs up for the challenge, the LISTERINE brand will make a contribution to help Oral Health America's Smile Across America program toward their goal of connecting 210,000 children with needed oral health services in 2013.
