Rev up your oral care routine with Crest & Oral-B! #Giveaway #PGmom

It's almost funny that April is National Oral Health month - only because I have an upcoming dentist appointment. The worst time I was in the dentist's chair was when I was 35 weeks pregnant and had a wisdom tooth pulled. 70 per cent of all pregnant women suffer from inflamed gums, which is a sign of gingivitis...but not all pregnant women get teeth pulled!

To keep your teeth healthy and happy, through pregnancy or not, dentists recommend brushing twice daily for two minutes (I love my Oral-B® ProfessionalCare SmartSeries 5000 with SmartGuide™ Electric Toothbrush - it times my brushing for me), flossing once daily and using a rinse. Most Canadians do admit to not following this routine.

Crest and Oral-B donate to Dress for Success during Oral Health Month (#PGmom Giveaway)

April is Oral Health Month! Crest knows that life opens up with a confident smile. That’s why Crest is dedicated to creating products that improve your smile and promote your oral health.

Over the last decade, the evolution of technology has made a significant and positive impact on our day-to-day lives. Canadians are quick to adopt the newest technology in many areas from computers and cell phones to TVs, but when it comes to their oral health, Canadians cling to their manual brushes (in 2011, 72 per cent were still using a manual brush!) – despite advances in electric toothbrush design and recommendations from dental health professionals. The SmartGuide also lets you know when you are brushing to hard - and as an exhausted working Mom I need the reminders in the morning and evening when I am brushing half asleep.

P&G is providing an Oral-B Professional Deep Sweep Triaction 5000 to help one lucky YYZ Bambina reader make the switch and pledge a more confident smile.
