I was just commenting to my husband that we are back in the full swing of school, basketball practices, vocal lessons, and just trying to keep the house together in the middle of all of this hustle and bustle. Making sure that our boys finish their homework every night and tend to their personal hygiene needs is also a part of this back to school routine in our home. As a matter of fact, bathing and good oral care are at the top of our list when it comes to making sure that our boys take pride in their overall health and appearance.
Unfortunately, being a mother to boys can have its challenges so I sometimes have to double check that our sons brush their teeth properly in the morning. It wouldn’t be the first time that I had to send one or both of them back into the bathroom to brush their teeth again because of bad breath or food stains. I’m always reminding them about the importance of maintaining healthy teeth and gums as well as having pleasant breath when they are talking to others.
Although my husband and I understand that our boys are tired after going to school and taking part in all of their extracurricular activities and sports, there is no excuse for them not brushing and flossing their teeth every morning and night. Thankfully, Listerine has a complete line of oral care products that make our lives a little easier and that our family really loves.
Since we are always on-the-go, I carry Listerine PocketPaks in my purse because they not only freshen our breath but they also kill 99% of the germs that cause bad breath. They come in a discreet little package that fits in even in my cute and stylish handbags and they taste great so our boys don’t even realize that they are practicing good oral care by using them.
Listerine also offers effective teeth-whitening results through the use of their Healthy White Rinse. It is the only whitening product on the market that does not contain peroxide but does contain the added benefit of fluoride to help restore tooth enamel. The best part is that it also removes tough stains while killing bad breath germs. You can now enjoy whiter teeth in a gentler whitening formula that also helps to prevent cavities.

My two are terrible at brushing, which is why I really love Listerine’s Smart Rinse. I feel like it really helps them get those spots that they might not be brushing quite so well.
We are a Listerine household! No kiddos, but all the adults use the mouth wash!
It is like pulling teeth to get my kids to brush them. I find myself brushing for them to make sure they’re really getting in there.
My son is a fanatic about his teeth. He brushes more then me.
I just picked up some Listerine at the supermarket today. We use it daily.
We have always used Listerine but I had no idea they made so many other products as well. Will have to look for some of these.
We love Listerine in our family. Everyone in the family uses it!
Listerine is such a great product. I wish we could get kiddo to spend more time taking care of her teeth. It doesn’t seem to be enforced at her other home so when she gets here, hubs and I have to make her stand there and brush her teeth longer and actually tell her she needs to brush them.
I love Listerine, there mouthwash has to be one of the best you can buy. x
We love listerine! Oral health is so important I’ve been lucky and been able to teach my kids that very early on! I hope Canada gets those cool bottles for Kids and measuring I think it would work so much better at my place!
My mom used to feel our toothbrushes to make sure they were wet after when we were supposed to have brushed our teeth LOL I do love Listerine, though – lots of their products at my house! And oral hygiene is huge for me – I went 8 years without going to the dentist and paid dearly for it. I’m a good girl now 🙂
We love Listerine products here! Their children’s mouthwash is the only one that my daughter will use!
I love Listerine! Their dry mouthwash is awesome.
Start early! Me and my girls all brush our teeth at the same time. The youngest is 11 months and she just gnaws on her toothbrush, but she knows that’s just what we do during that time. I haven’t used any of Listerine’s kids products, although I think I’ll have to check them out.
What a great mom! Boys are so funny…they spend so much time getting out of things, they could have just done them. I know some new moms with little boys, I think they might enjoy trying this. Thank you!
Growing up, we always had Listerine and when I got to be a teenager I used it. But when I was younger, it seemed so strong– and I guess that is because it works. I’m glad they are making stuff for kids now.
I agree that good oral hygiene is very important. It really does effect the whole body, so it shouldn’t be neglected. Sounds like you guys really like the Listerine products.
i encourage my daughter to brush her teeth twice a day and i make sure she does it well.
I love Listerine. It always leaves my mouth feeling so clean. I’m going to give these new flossers a try.
I promote good oral care by staying on top of my kids about brushing day and night. If I don’t it won’t get done.
Great idea to start them early! We have used Listerine for years.
Oral health care wasn’t something that was drilled in me while growing up. I’m doing a far better job with my own children with brushing and take care of their teeth! Just this morning my daughter was annoyed as I told her she needed to go brush her teeth again because her breath wasn’t fresh. We (parents) love Listerine!
I love listerine products. I actually used the small packs at my wedding to make sure I had minty breath all night long.
Your son is such a handsome fellow. next time he needs to show those listerine clean teeth with a big smile 🙂
I just actually got my first cavity and I was shocked. Dental care is so important so yes it is good to start it young!
When the kids were younger we would set a timer so they would know how long to brush for. It is important to start healthy habbits early.
Listerine has the best products. My 3 boys are NOT into hygiene– it’s like pulling teeth to get them to do anything but they know I don’t play when it comes to oral health.
We make it a top priority! I like the Mouthwash because it is so gentle and really keeps our gums and teeth clean. The mouthwash also gets rid of bad breath fast. I like how good the mint floss works. We make sure to take care of our oral health every day!
We’re a huge Listerine household (dentist’s orders). But my kids can’t seem to get enough of that Smart Rinse. I mean, I think they actually look forward to brushing their teeth! LOL
What a cute kiddo! 🙂 We use Listerine and have for years…it really helps!
I let my son brush in the morning but his breath indicates often he’s not doing so well with it. I always brush at night which our dentist said is the most important one!
