You may remember back at the beginning of February, I joined the
.

The challenge was that for 21 days, I (and my family) would brush, floss and use mouth rinse twice a day for 21 days to show the benefits of good oral hygiene.

The kids were thrilled about their new toothbrushes (Buggy got Barbie and Buddy got Phineas and Ferb) and were just as excited for their mouth wash. Who would have thunk that kids could be that excited about oral hygiene!?

These new brushes with their favorite characters really increased their desire to brush their teeth – multiple times a day.

I, on the other hand, totally fell off the twice a day routine, but loved my new Listerine toothpaste. I could tell such a difference when I didn’t use it! I have to admit, it tastes pretty nasty, but the feeling of sparkling clean teeth is well worth the nasty taste!

And just because I failed the twice daily routine during the challenge doesn’t mean I’m giving up! I still have faith in myself! Especially because I saw the difference that this easy routine provided me with the once a day routine. The redness and swelling reduced and the bleeding pregnant gums that I manage to get every pregnancy, reduced drastically! I can only imagine what would happen if I did it twice a day!

I highly encourage anyone and everyone to head on over to
and join the challenge themselves! And come back to share what benefits you found after completing the challenge!
