Oral Health – Don’t Let the Kids Neglect Their Teeth This Halloween

Paula — Wed, 26 Oct 2016 10:18:44 +0000

Oral health is so important to our overall health, and it’s vital that we make sure our children have good oral health habits like brushing and flossing 2 to 3 times daily. This is even more important when Halloween rolls around. All that candy coming in may be tasty, but it’s also terrible for the teeth. This Halloween help your kids remember their oral health with Philips Sonicare and Furball Pal Sparkly. Oral Health for Better Health Oral health is key to keeping our entire body healthy. Did you know that poor oral health can lead to damage of organs like the heart, liver, and kidneys? It’s true. Bacteria enters the bloodstream through infected gums and can cause internal damage. The key to preventing that is teaching the kids about how important regular brushing and flossing are. [tweetthis]Help your kids remember their oral health with Philips Sonicare and Furball Pal Sparkly. #ad[/tweetthis] Philips Sonicare is partnering with Furball Pal Sparkly to help parents keep the importance of healthy teeth and gums in the forefront of children’s minds by keeping it fun. The Sonicare is easy to use, and the Philips Sonicare for Kids App helps children brush the proper length of time and hit all of their teeth well by keeping the entire process fun instead of making it a chore. That’s so important with Halloween in full swing. I’ve never been a parent to rain on the Halloween candy parade, so I’ve always made sure that if the kids are going to eat a lot of candy, they’re also going to do an extra good job of brushing their teeth and flossing too. Together Philips and Sparkly encourage kids to take ownership of their oral health routine. It encourages the kids to practice good oral health in a way that’s fun and encouraging. Philips is the Leader in Oral Health In addition to encouraging the kids to take care of their mouths, Philips Sonicare also does a great job of keeping those teeth clean. The patented sonic technology drives fluid between the teeth and long the gum line, gently applying more than 500 brush strokes per second! It removes up to 75% more plaque than regular brushing in hard to reach areas, and the Connected Philips Sonicare for Kids even has a Kid Timer and KidPacer for the best brushing guidance available. Plus, it has 8 stickers so kids can customize the handle. We all know how much kids love stickers. I love that the kids can personalize their own toothbrushes. That makes brushing more fun. Oral Health this Halloween Halloween is almost here and because it happens only once a year it’s okay to let kids enjoy their night. But while they’re enjoying their sweet treats, it’s important not to let oral health fall through the cracks. This Halloween, help the kids maintain good oral health with the Connected Philips Sonicare for Kids and Furball Pal Sparkly. It’s a fun way to help the kids practice great oral health and still keep it fun. My girls both received one of these Sonicare toothbrushes. My younger daughter Ainsley told me tonight when brushing her teeth and actually enjoying brushing – “This toothbrush makes me want to brush more often.” And as a result her teeth have never looked whiter! I am pretty happy with that. A Few More Details: · Patented sonic technology drives fluid between teeth and along the gum-line, gently delivering more than 500 brush strokes per second (your kids can’t make that happen on their own no matter how old they are) · Removes up to 75% more plaque than a manual toothbrush in hard to reach areas (that’s crucial. One of my girls has sticky plaque and needs more help getting rid of it.) · KidTimer and KidPacer for optimal brushing guidance · 8 stickers for a customized handle Suggested Retail Price: $59.99 Available: Shoppers Drug Mart, Walmart, Loblaws, Amazon.ca and London Drugs I received two of the toothbrushes mentioned here for purposes of sharing. My opinion is all my own. I like these Sonicare toothbrushes because they get teeth cleaner than manual brushing alone. They are the best toothbrushes the kids have ever had. Definitely worth it. They come with a charging stand and rechargeable battery. They also come with a two year warranty. The company recommends replacing the brush heads roughly every 3 months.

Smile Brilliant Teeth Whitening System works fast to build brighter, whiter teeth with a special personalized system that matches your teeth precisely. When the kit comes in the mail it contains a stamped envelope that you send back to the company with your dental impressions contained within.

You then use those personalized trays to insert and apply the whitening gel for at home teeth whitening. The at home teeth whitening part is super simple. Smile Brilliant teeth whitening system is a very professional system designed for home use. It is not to be used by anyone under 12, or anyone who is expecting a baby. Follow the instructions carefully. Watch the video and tell me one thing you learned about the Smile Brilliant At Home Teeth Whitening System. You will be asked to comment in the comments below and in the giveaway widget. Now, as I noted in the video my teeth are my one thing I am always a little bit less confident about. I have tried numerous teeth whitening systems over my adult life. Some don’t work at all and others actually harm your teeth. A lot leave your teeth and gums feeling more sensitive than when you started the process. Smile Brilliant helps give me a boost of confidence while cosmetically whitening my teeth. It worked fast and I spied results after the first use. I also dramatically cut my coffee consumption recently, so I am hoping both of these things work to make my teeth whiter and brighter for the foreseeable future.

No secret that dentistry, planned or unplanned, can leave the average person out of pocket for hundreds, perhaps even thousands of dollars. If you don’t have insurance, what’s a family to do? Luckily DentalPlans has some answers to your dental needs. With plans that start at $79.95 a year, you can help your family save. I am all about the savings here, so this is one service that caught my eye. Plans start at the low price of $79.95 for single patients and $129.95 for families. That’s a good deal less than many dental insurance plans. As a mom of two girls who have both needed costly dental work this year, I can’t imagine being without a means of paying for their teeth. They are the first thing many people notice about you – your teeth. You can’t afford to let them go. DentalPlans.com is an easy to use alternative to dental insurance. It is available throughout the U.S. There is also a handy tool on this site to help you determine if a dentist near you accepts Dental Plans. The discount service is simple to use. You print your membership card online right away and then make an appointment with a participating dentist. Present the card and enjoy your discounts. The Dental Hygenie Planfinder helps you to find the plan that works best for your needs. If you join now, you get three extra months free. Through DentalPlans.com, people have easy access to savings at the dentist, and an easy-to-use alternative to dental insurance. If you are looking for a family dental plan, check out the benefits of DentalPlans.com. You can save between 10 and 60 % off most procedures. The site offers a handy plug in your Zip Code tool to help locate dentists that are in your area. Other Features of DentalPlans.com · Savings at 100,000+ dentists across the country · 30+ plans to search, compare and view sample savings by ZIP code · Savings on cosmetic dentistry and orthodontia · No annual limits, health restrictions or paperwork hassles · Most plans activate within three business days · Plans start at $79.95 per year for individuals and $129.95 per year for families Some insurance companies have a limit on the amount a person or family can use each year, in those instances the DentalPlans program can often be used to save over and above the limit. So when the limit is reached and you need to pay out of pocket, you can use DentalPlans to get deep discounts. More money in your wallet at the end of the day will always make you smile. DentalPlans can help make that happen. (This is a sponsored post. I received compensation.)
