Good Morning Habits Start With LISTERINE For A Great Day Ahead

Many of you were with me during the journey of my son and I both getting braces. When I was a girl I had an obsession with getting my teeth straightened. Finally having convinced my mother it was important to me she took me to the dentist. As my goal was starting to become reality I rejoiced. But not for too long. The dentist dashed away my hopes and dreams by convincing my mother that my teeth were perfectly fine, and it would just be a waste of money.

Way to go doc! Crushed I was determined that once I was old enough and able to afford it on my own my teeth would find themselves under the pressure of straightening out with braces. And so when J-bird asked for braces I happily made an appointment for him, and I.

J-bird wasn’t sure what to make of his Mama getting braces like some teenager, himself to be exact. But he humored me. He was scheduled for braces removal within 24 months, and mine would come off between 12-18 months. Well 24 months came and went and his were removed and looked great! Mine on the other hand were still holding tight due to my inability to maintain my regularly scheduled appointments.

I nearly convinced myself I would be buried in my braces. Putting my calendar in front of me and getting my act together the braces were removed a few months later.

Listerine Smart Rinse Mouthwash

After spending a small fortunate on two sets of braces there was no way I was going to not take care of these newly straightened teeth. I completely changed my daily routine. Including adding daily flossing. The LISTERINE Ultraclean Floss is smooth and easy to use. This was done to accommodate a new morning and evening routine I created to take care of my teeth.

Morning routine:

  • Wake up remove retainers and clean them.
  • Floss teeth using the LISTERINE Ulltraclean floss.
  • Brush teeth for at least two minutes as recommended.
  • After a few days I noticed the LISTERINE Smart Rinse Mouthwash was now on our bathroom counter. Seems Papa decided to “borrow” it from J-bird’s bathroom. So naturally I added it to my routine as well!
  • Replace retainers feeling clean and fresh all around my mouth.

Evening routine:

  • Remove retainers and clean them.
  • Floss teeth using the LISTERINE Ulltraclean floss.
  • Brush teeth for at least two minutes as recommended.
  • Rinse with the LISTERINE Smart Rinse Mouthwash so I can give everyone fresh and sparkly goodnight kisses. No need for them to smell the garlic we had just eaten for dinner.

 

Listerine Ultraclean Floss

I am really enjoying flossing now that the braces are gone. It used to seem like such a mundane task. Now I realize it’s an important part of my oral care. Papa loves the convenience of the LISTERINE POCKETPAKS. Carrying an entire bottle of mouthwash in his pocket at work isn’t as convenient plus would look really silly. When he’s ready to go into a meeting he just pops a strip out of the POCKETPAKS and his breath is fresh enough to meet with executives. Papa never leaves home without his POCKETPAKS.

The really funny part of all of this is that I have noticed since taking on the challenge of improving our oral care, we are also taking better overall care of ourselves. I for one have cut down on snacks on junky drinks because I don’t want to alter the fresh clean feeling in my mouth. Even feeling better about myself throughout the day has been a noticeable difference.

It’s amazing how one little change can impact your entire day. Em always wants to brush her teeth EVERY TIME she sees any of us doing it. But if I ask her to do it, she’s not always in a rush. Children watch what we do, and leading by example is the best way to ensure they are living a healthy life. It empowers me as a Mama to know that I am her Healthy Habit Hero.

So whether you are just starting out on your path to becoming a Healthy Habit Hero or refining your oral care ways, LISTERINE has a vast line of products meant to fit the needs of everyone in your family.
