From a very young age we learn the importance of good dental health. From Mickey Mouse toothbrushes to Tooth Fairies, we are trained on the importance of looking after our teeth, and yet maintaining consistently good dental hygiene through adult life is something that many people lack.
So why is oral care so important? And how can Listerine® help you to protect your teeth for a lifelong smile?
Let's find out.

| As little as five minutes a day can ensure a healthy mouth and teeth for the rest of your life. Never take your teeth for granted. Brush, and rinse with Listerine® mouthwash twice daily. It's as easy as that! |

Some of the ways to keep your children's teeth healthy include:
- cleaning your baby's teeth twice a day
- asking your Pediatrician to check your child's teeth at each visit
- avoiding letting your child drink too much juice each day and avoid juice at all before they are 6 months old
- not letting your older infants and toddlers have a bottle of juice in the middle of the night
- encouraging your kids to eat a healthy diet and avoid sugary snacks
- flossing between your child's teeth as soon as they start to make contact with one another
- starting to use a small pea-sized amount of fluoridated toothpaste once your child is 2-3 years old
- seeing a dentist for a checkup once your child is 3 years old or sooner if they are at high risk for cavities or if you or your Pediatrician notice any problems

The Listerine® range of products get to those hard to reach places in your mouth where brushing often misses, protecting against the bacteria that cause plaque, bad breath and gum disease (gingivitis).
