Listerine Bloggers Dare
Do you guys like going to the Dentist?!?
Well, I assume that many of you are just like me…and we don’t really fancy a trip to the dentist. It is like a necessary evil that we must all put up with…Just like eating your vegetables…:)
Recently, ED Unloaded was sent voluntarily by our friends at Listerine to experience better Oral hygiene for himself.
This was definitely an unnerving experience for this Daddy Blogger, as the Dentist spent at least 10mins “jabbing” at his teeth, as ED underwent a Gingivitis test. Gingivitis is a gum disease which is found in 85% of adults (Yes…I am referring to almost everyone!) and if left untreated, it will weaken your gums and teeth)
As Gingivitis is reversible through good Oral care habits, I will be undergoing the Listerine Blogger Challenge to demonstrate how Listerine can help reduce this gum disease.
Dentist also gave me 3 Quick Tips in order to improve your Oral Hygiene:
Yes…It is important to brush your teeth at least twice a day, and floss them at least once. And lastly follow through with Listerine Mouth Wash, to clean the “untouched” areas.
It might sound like a tedious exercise, but I say…
“No Pain, No Change”
Well, If you have not gotten hold of any bottles of Listerine to help improve your oral hygiene….Do not despair…
As part of the Blogger Challenge, Visit the Listerine Blogger Microsite and Register for a FREE BOTTLE OF Listerine Total Care.
Yes…That’s RIGHT…
A FREE BOTTLE!!!
And more Importantly…Do Show me your Love!

woohoo! No pain no change! This Gingivitis test sounds interesting… Is it available at all dentists?
September 18th, 2010 at 12:26 am
Thanks for dropping by Ally!
The test is not done at the dentist, as it is rather painful, and most people do not want to go through unnecessary pain!
But I think u can request your dentist to do it, as long as u are ready to go through the pain

Wow great post Edmund!!
Through your post i can get to know more about Oral Hygiene. I can take precaution and prevent myself to be one of the 85% adults.
September 18th, 2010 at 1:24 am
Thanks for your kind words! Your help has been invaluable as well!
September 18th, 2010 at 12:32 am
Hiya Ed! All the best yo!
September 18th, 2010 at 1:23 am
Thanks Sidney! U guys are fast
I only just got home not too long ago…:)
September 18th, 2010 at 12:42 am
Ed, you actually took pictures with the Dentist! haha! I’d be too terrified to even talk to him!
September 18th, 2010 at 1:23 am
He is actually quite friendly! I think they sent their best dentist for the PR shoot!
September 18th, 2010 at 1:11 am
WOW the kids look so cute using the brushes with Listerine in their hands! They’ll definitely cultivate the good habits of keeping teeth clean and healthy!
September 18th, 2010 at 1:22 am
Ya…I love the photo as well! I had to take the shot at least 20 times to get it right!
Hopefully they will enjoy the dentist as well!
September 18th, 2010 at 1:14 am
Man I used to use Listerine in the past. Perhaps I should go back to using them too.
September 18th, 2010 at 1:20 am
Haha….i think it might be a good idea…esp if it can improve your oral health!
September 18th, 2010 at 1:20 am
Hi Edmund,
Hmmm… I actually like visiting my dentist (EXCEPT to remove wisdom tooth), coz the teeth feel so so clean after the procedure.
Good luck with the Challenge!
September 18th, 2010 at 1:28 am
Thanks for dropping by Yvette.
I like the clean feeling as well! But definitely not the grinding process during polishing….Its a real pain…especially when the fragments are all over the mouth!
September 18th, 2010 at 2:21 am
hello! hehe all the best to you too!
your kids are so cute!
September 18th, 2010 at 2:24 am
thanks! Looking forward to reading your post too!
September 18th, 2010 at 2:36 am

September 18th, 2010 at 10:21 am
Thanks Hann!
Your support is priceless!
September 18th, 2010 at 9:31 am
Hey Ed! Thanks for dropping by! I doubt I was in the dentist’s good books — I was a troublesome and cowardly patient! But I went on a different day from everyone else and maybe that helped!
Good luck with the challenge!
September 18th, 2010 at 10:20 am
Haha…thanks for clearing up our perspectives
Good luck for the challenge!
September 18th, 2010 at 11:30 am

September 18th, 2010 at 11:23 pm
Thanks San…Can always count on the mummies for their support!
September 18th, 2010 at 9:09 pm
When I was wearing my braces, I had to visit the dentist so often. Now I forgot I was actually ‘fearful’ of them prior to that. Haha! And yeah, Listerine is a good choice! A must to bring to the office and use after lunch time!
September 18th, 2010 at 11:23 pm
Haha..Thankfully u have passed that frequent visit to the dentist stage already.
Thanks for dropping by Kailin. We should meet up to catch up some time 
September 18th, 2010 at 9:18 pm
Wow.. Surprised that Gingivitis is found in 85% of adults. That means I have high chance of becoming a victim! But glad to know that this is reversible. Just voted for you!
September 18th, 2010 at 11:21 pm
Ya…I am one of those people who has Gingivities as well!
Thanks for dropping by bro! Your support means so much
September 18th, 2010 at 11:44 pm

September 19th, 2010 at 11:42 pm
Dentist every week?!? That might be a new challenge! “)

September 19th, 2010 at 9:28 pm
i used to fear visiting the dentist in primary school, but after my braces stint, i love going to the dentist !
and listerine’s a must use ! my whole family’s using it (sister skips the brushing teeth process and goes straight to listerine on lazy mornings) haha !
September 19th, 2010 at 11:40 pm
Haha…Your sister is funny….She might as well gargle with Coke! It has bleaching effects!
September 19th, 2010 at 11:00 pm
I love the shot of the kids!! I hope my kids will also have good oral hygiene
You make the trip to the dentist look less scary haha Will try Listrine coz I’m one of the 80% with Gingivities! 
September 19th, 2010 at 11:40 pm
Thanks for the comment. Btw – i think most of us have Gingivities. At 80%, its hard to imagine yourself not being one of the many
