Did you know that May is the unofficial start of wedding season? Even though my own wedding isn’t until October, that doesn’t mean there won’t be other celebrations over the warm spring and summer months. In fact, both Jeremy and I have cousins getting married between now and our own wedding! I’ll admit that the thought of those multiple events, and the prep that goes with them, has my head spinning a bit already. Just being a guest at numerous weddings can be taxing! Luckily, Church & Dwight has four great tips for a stress-free wedding season:

Celebrate Oral Health Month with 3 Great Tips from Church & Dwight
April is National Oral Health Month and as most people know, oral health is a topic I’m pretty passionate about! As if dealing with my own problem teeth wasn’t motivation enough, having both of my boys undergo dental surgery as a result of childhood caries made me especially dedicated to keeping their teeth strong and healthy.
Whether you’re teaching your kids about proper dental health or you’re trying to beat a few bad habits yourself, Church & Dwight has three great tips and some must-have products for Oral Health Month that will help you take care of your family’s teeth!
Teach good habits at a young age
Many of us know that good (and bad) habits are hard to break. Teach your children good oral health care habits early on, as it will get them in a daily routine and help avoid future dental troubles. Did you know that according to the World Health Organization, 60-90% of children experience tooth decay?. Introduce toothpaste with fluoride like Orajel™ Super Mario ™ Kids Fluoride Toothpaste after the age of 2 years or when your dentist recommends it to help fight cavities from the get-go. To make teeth time extra fun, try new Spinbrush™ My Little Pony ™ or Super Mario ™ battery brushes so kids can practice healthy habits with the help of their favourite characters. Children under age 3 years should use the brush under adult supervision. [Read more…]
Our Family is Smiling Brighter Thanks to Philips Sonicare! #SonicareSmile
About two weeks ago, Philips Sonicare challenged my boys and I to change our smiles with the help of the new Sonicare DiamondClean adult toothbrush and the Sonicare for Kids power toothbrush. In just two weeks, the brushes promised to improve our smiles and as a family that’s had plenty of dental concerns already, that was a claim we couldn’t wait to put to the test!
My boys loved the Sonicare for Kids toothbrush from the very first use and with its kid-friendly design, it’s easy to see why! Since young children can have trouble brushing properly, using an electric toothbrush just makes sense since the brush provides a much more thorough clean. My boys had already been using electric toothbrushes but I could tell from the way they reacted to this one that the feeling was completely different. Both boys spent quite a bit of time giggling about how much the toothbrush tickled!
But that tickling is helping to remove up to 75% more plaque than a manual toothbrush with 500 brush strokes per second, and so as much as Zackary and Benjamin enjoyed the new toothbrush, I think I enjoyed it even more because every time they brushed their teeth, I knew they were getting the best clean possible. And with a built-in timer that gradually increases to the two-minute mark to help kids learn how long to brush, I knew they weren’t rushing the job either. [Read more…]
Changing My Oral Health with the #PhilipsSonicare FlexCare Platinum
About a year ago, I switched from a manual toothbrush to an electric one and the difference in my teeth was pretty amazing. After trying an electric toothbrush, there’s no way that I’ll ever go back to a manual one. But this year, Philips Sonicare challenged me to trade my current electric toothbrush for the Sonicare FlexCare Platinum and I couldn’t wait to see how it worked for me.
The Philips Sonicare FlexCare Platinum has so much technology packed into it that sets it apart from other electric toothbrushes. The patented sonic technology deliver 31,000 brushstrokes a minute and removes up to seven times more plaque between teeth than a manual brush. I really liked the fact that the brush had different intensity levels since my teeth are sensitive and can’t take too much pressure. The lowest setting was perfect for me and let me get a thorough clean without being too hard on my mouth.
Getting Ready to Take the #PhilipsSonicare FlexCare Platinum Challenge
Last year I made the switch to an electric toothbrush after using a manual one for my entire life. I was impressed by the difference it made in my teeth, but when it comes to dental care, there are always new innovations being made! So when I had the chance to trade my regular electric toothbrush for the brand new Philips Sonicare FlexCare Platinum and experience the difference for myself, I couldn’t wait. Here are just a few of the innovations this electric toothbrush offers:
