What Does Your Mouth Say About You?

What Does Your Mouth Say About You?

Sure, when it comes to our mouths, most of us are worried about what goes into it and what comes out.  Great food and nice words, hopefully.  But what about what’s there all the time?  Turns out that can have a larger impact on our lives than most of us realize.

I’ve had the privilege to work with the Listerine brand several times over the last year, and feel like I’ve been paying more attention to the hygiene habits of my family as a result.  We love their products; my kids are particularly fond of the Listerine Anticavity Smart Rinse featuring Frozen characters.

What Does Your Mouth Say About You?

Did you know that LISTERINE® Antiseptic cleans virtually 100% of your mouth to achieve up to five times healthier gums in two weeks and up to nine times healthier gums in four weeks.  Yup.

I’m hoping that instilling healthy oral hygiene practices at a young age will keep their pearly whites pearly white as they age.  And beyond having white teeth, hopefully, it will set them up for success in relationships, careers and overall health.

In a recent survey conducted by Listerine Brand and GFK, these startling statistics prove just how important a healthy mouth is.

Apparently our mouths might be the new “Magic 8 Ball.”

What Does Your Mouth Say About You?

Will my kids be successful in their jobs?

  • Outlook is good, if you have a healthy mouth!  {Nearly 7 in 10 Americans think having an unhealthy mouth threatens one’s chances of getting hired [68%], and poor oral healthy may prevent a promotion [61%].}

Will my children have successful relationships?

  • Signs point to yes, with good oral hygiene habits! {More than half of Americans believe that oral health issues can negatively impact one’s success in their relationships [52%], more than an unhealthy weight [33%] or bad skin [19%].}

Will my children have self confidence?

  • You may rely on it, when you’re confident about your mouth! {3 in 4 Americans say the state of their mouth determines how they look and feel {77%}, nearly as much as their weight {78%}.}

Many of the oral care issues that Americans experience can be prevented, and adding LISTERINE® as part of a twice-daily oral care routine can help ensure your mouth is always on your side.   Interested to see more results from the survey?  Visit here.

What Does Your Mouth Say About You?

LISTERINE is committed to promoting healthy oral care habits.  That’s why the brand is partnering with Oral Health America, whose FALL FOR SMILES campaign educates the public about the positive impact good oral health can have on overall health and well-being. OHA’s mission is so important to LISTERINE that the brand will be pledging $20K to support their work. We hope this inspires you/others to join them and help double the donation – – use #LISTERINEgives on 10/27 from 12-1 PM EST and trigger a $10 donation from the LISTERINE Brand to Oral Health America*.

*for a maximum donation of $40,000
