Have a Healthier Smile in 21 Days

At The Motherhood, we believe in the power of a smile – to brighten someone’s day, put them at ease, acknowledge great work or just wear our happiness on our faces. To keep the world’s smiles in good working order, we are proud to be partnering with LISTERINE® Brand – and a great group of enthusiastic women who know the importance of good oral hygiene – on a 21-Day Challenge to rinse with LISTERINE® Antiseptic for 30 seconds twice each day for 21 days (in addition to brushing and flossing).

As one of our participants, Alison of Safety Mom, noted in her blog post, “There’s never enough time in the day to get everything done, so it’s these self-care things that are first to fall off the ‘to-do’ list. I know that my teeth could feel better if I flossed and rinsed, but it hasn’t been a priority. So when I learned about the LISTERINE® 21-Day Challenge and was invited to participate, I knew I had to do it. We’re going to all become the flossing and rinsing champs in my family!”

Need some additional motivation? Consider this: Brushing alone misses 75 percent of the germs in your mouth (yuck!), and taking up the 21-Day Challenge with your own family couldn’t be easier. Just run over to Target and stock up on these supplies:

• LISTERINE^® Antiseptic
• LISTERINE^® SMART RINSE^®
• LISTERINE^® WHITENING^® Original Gel Fluoride Anticavity Toothpaste
• REACH^® Floss

Now just remember to brush, floss, rinse with LISTERINE® Antiseptic for 30 seconds and repeat twice a day. They say it takes 21 days to form a habit, so by the end of your challenge, top-notch oral hygiene should be ingrained in your routine. Give it a try!

While you’re at it, take the opportunity to help kids in need obtain better oral care. Grab your bottle of LISTERINE® Antiseptic and your camera – just like Jenn of Jenn’s RAQ did in the above photo – and take a “Swish Selfie” to upload to the LISTERINE Facebook page. For every photo uploaded, the brand will donate $5.00 to Oral Health America’s Smiles Across America program.

At The Motherhood, we keep a bottle of LISTERINE® Antiseptic handy for fresh breath after lunch. Kayla and Nicole took a Swish Selfie in honor of this campaign and charitable effort last week.

Join us to share your thoughts and progress during a Twitter party in March! We will be on Twitter using the hashtag #LISTERINE – watch for more details in the near future.

Can’t wait to chat with you! In the meantime, keep smiling!
