Listerine Documentary
Recently an online video clip from the Today Show aired that had an interview with actor, Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother). He was promoting an upcoming film project but what caught our attention was his mention of a Listerine “infomercial” he recently narrated. If you click on the link, you can watch a brief documentary entitled, “This is Your Mouth”. Each time the video is viewed, $1.00 is donated to the National Children’s Oral Health Foundation. As a parent, what better way to advocate oral health education and help eliminate the nation-wide epidemic of a very preventable condition known as pediatric gum disease? We encourage you to spend 5 minutes of your time to watch this documentary. It reminds us all how oral health and your general health go hand in hand. By the way, there are also money savings coupons that you can print out from the site. How convenient is that?

How often should I floss?
Flossing of the teeth once per day helps to prevent cavities from forming between the teeth where your toothbrush can’t reach. Flossing also helps to keep your gums healthy.
