Listerine 21-Day Challenge Update!
My son and I have been doing the #Listerine 21-Day Challenge for the last few weeks and I wanted to follow-up with our progress.
We always brush our teeth twice a day, but we didn’t always use floss and mouthwash each time we brushed. So my goal was to make flossing and using mouthwash a habit that we both developed along with brushing our teeth and I can say this challenge has helped us to succeed in this goal.
Another oral care habit we needed to develop was rinsing for 30 seconds to get the full effect of using an antiseptic mouthwash. This was difficult at first because I had to get use to the mouthwash so I started out using the kids mouthwash and worked my way up to using the full-strength Listerine mouthwash. My son still uses the kids kind.
I’m glad we took the Listerine Challenge. My son is developing good oral hygiene habits that he will carry with him for a lifetime and hopefully he won’t end up with the dental issues I have had. I also have developed better oral care habits that have helped my gingivitis. So for our family the 21 day Listerine Challenge was a complete success!

I need to make sure to use mouthwash and floss more often. That burn is hard to keep up for 30 seconds! I like using the kid’s kind too.

We NEED this in our house. All of us have teeth issues and trying to get in the habit of better oral care. We brush but that is pretty much it. Thanks for the reminder.

I know what you mean. Sometimes I will just use the kids Listerine or mix the kids with the adults. And 30 seconds is a really long long time when you have your mouth burning, but so worth it!
