Happy “Tooth-Day”!

Farah Flossit here, wishing you a FRESH day”)

Today I am excited to chat about another great Philips product.  Fresh breath is important for everyone in the family.

Philips offers a great BreathRx Starter kit.  The price is under $25 & it’s only 3 steps.  The kit includes an 8oz. rinse, a 4oz. whitening toothpaste, a 2oz. tongue spray, & 2-tongue cleaners.  This is everything you need to destroy odor-causing bacteria from the teeth, tongue, & mouth, & neutralize odors for lasting fresh breath.

So 3 Easy Steps:

Step 1: Brush away odor-causing plaque with BreathRx Whitening toothpaste.

Step 2: Get to the bacteria that hides within the uneven surface of your tongue with the BreathRx tongue spray and tongue cleaner. The active ingredient in the spray kills bad breath bacteria on contact and neutralizes odors. The flexible tongue cleaner gently removes bacteria build-up from the tongue.

Step 3: Rinse away the remaining germs and debris with the BreathRx antibacterial mouth rinse.

What I truly love about all of the Philips products is that you can add them into your already established routine in conjunction with their other products.  The integration of their products simply improves your Oral Health & your smile.  If you already use a Sonicare (either Adult or Child) it is so simple to add this into your Oral Health habits. Sonicare products are not only reasonably priced, but also very easy to find at Casa Smiles or your local Target, Walmart, Walgreens, or even on-line.  I hope you all really give it a try & enjoy that extra confidence when having to have a conversation in close proximity or when you are hugging someone you love!

Thank you for tuning in on today’s Happy “Tooth-Day’s” report!

I look forward to chatting with you all next week!

Happy “Tooth-Day”!

Farah Flossit here, excited to share why Philips is the best choice for your children, but first, I’d like to fill you all in on the Final Score for Mouth Madness.

Final Score: Pediatric Dentists Help Defeat the Full Lineup of Mouth Monsters (This report is brought to you courtesy of the AAPD).

Healthy little teeth ended up in first place at the conclusion of the National Children’s Dental Health Month Tournament of Tooth Care. Each little champion brought a unique skill, and they all worked together to take on the Mouth Monsters with ease. According to their coach, the Pediatric Dentist, the fun isn’t over yet – brushing and flossing practice starts again tomorrow, and the team’s next 6-month checkup is already scheduled for late 2016.

Mouth Madness fans can keep up with the action by following the AAPD on Facebook and Twitter.

Interactive fun for better brushing (The detailed information about this product has been provided by philipsoralhealthcare.com)

As you all may know, I am a huge advocate for motivating our little ones with the resources we now have available to us.  We live in a world of technology & we should embrace it & use it in positive ways.  If using an APP that will help motivate your children to brush their teeth & create Good Oral Habits, the GO FOR IT!

Using Philips Sonicare for Kids is a FUN way to inspire better brushers.  It can be a challenge for parents to get their children to brush regularly & effectively.  The new Philips Sonicare for Kids is designed to help kids develop a healthy habit that will last a lifetime.

There is just so much that this tooth brush offers that I am just blown away!

PERSONAL BRUSHING COACH

• Children will navigate the app with the help of their oral health training partner “Sparkly”
• Through a series of fun, educational games, children learn proper brushing techniques & are encouraged to brush longer.

REAL-TIME GUIDANCE

• “Sparkly” training partner’s mouth acts as a visual brushing guide, teaching children to thoroughly brush each quadrant of the mouth
• Equipped with Bluetooth wireless technology, the handle tells the app how long the child is brushing:  children gradually build the habit of brushing independently for two minutes, two times a day

TRAINING & TRACKING

• Children receive rewards & badges to keep them motivated, including gifts to keep their “Sparkly” training partner happy & healthy
• A separate dashboard in the app allows parents to monitor their child’s performance & progress as well as set up custom milestones & incentives

Aside from the amazing attributes mentioned above.  It is a cool looking tooth brush that gives your kiddos the option of picking stickers to go on their really COOL & FUN brush.  Because of the technology that Sonicare offers in their products, keeping up with the technique of how your children should be brushing becomes less stressful for parents knowing that the toothbrush is doing most of the work for them.

Bottom line–kid preferred, parent approved!

Today we are only scratching the surface with what Philips has to offer your entire family.  I will continue to inform you about the benefits of using these great tools to create a healthier & brighter smile for you & your loved ones! You can pick up your new Philips Sonicare for kids at Casa Smiles!

Happy “Tooth-Day”!!

Farah Flossit here, hoping you show your teeth & smile some LOVE this Valentine’s Day!

I’m sooo excited today to share with all of you some great ideas for NON-CANDY Valentine’s Day treats.  The best way to express your love this Valentine’s Day is to love your teeth & share your healthy smile.  Send your friends & loved ones sweet messages without the sugary Mouth Monsters!  Start your day with this kind of love,…

The information below is courtesy of  http://www.parents.com/holiday/valentines-day/crafts/8-heartfelt-no-candy-valentines.

Your little love bugs will dig matching up their favorite party favors with our printable templates! In just an hour or two, they’ll have sweet, customized cards for every kid in the class! Find templates for all of these valentines at familyfunmag.com/printables. We found all the party favors featured here at U.S. Toy and Party City.

Yo-Yo

Print the template onto 81⁄2-by-11-inch sticker paper (at office-supply stores), and have your child trim it out using pinking shears. Stick it onto the yo-yo, and you’re good to go!

Print greeting onto card stock; cut out. Trim a piece of sushi grass (we found ours on Amazon) to the width of the card. Insert the greeting, grass, and zoo animal into a cellophane bag; tape it closed.

Print the template onto 81⁄2-by-11-inch sticker paper; cut out. Wrap a box of cards once with washi tape, then stick the greeting onto the box.

Help your child splatter card stock with watercolors; let dry. (Practice on a test template first.) Print greetings onto the painted card stock and cut out. Punch holes in each, then attach the tags to the paint sets with string.

Jacks Set

Insert scrap cardboard into a small muslin bag (we found ours at Paper Mart). Help your child stamp a heart onto the bag; let dry. Print the greeting; cut out and insert into the bag, along with a jacks set.

Crayons & Notepads

Parachuter

Print greeting onto cloud-patterned paper (we found ours at officesupply.com); cut out. Adhere paper to card stock with a glue stick. Attach parachuter with a glue dot.

Silly Glasses

Print the greetings onto card stock; cut out. Use double-stick tape to attach the glasses onto the card stock, or punch holes for each of the temple pieces, thread them through, and fold closed.

I absolutely love all of the ideas above, but if you are still looking for some more crafty, fun & non-candy ideas you will find a wealth of ideas with free pintables by doing a search for “candy-free valentines for kids” on Pinterest.

I hope you all have a very Happy Valentine’s Day!!!:)
