As I’m sure you’re aware, February is National Children’s Dental Health Month. During this entire month, people have rallied to spread information on the importance of taking good care of your teeth. After all, no one wants an ugly smile!
In fact, you might remember me telling you about the #NaturalSmiles Contest last month. Tom’s of Maine launched a “Brushing Fun” activity book that you can download for free. It supports Oral Health of America and with each download, Tom’s of Maine will donate 10 tubes of its Wicked Cool! natural toothpaste to children in the Smiles Across America program with the OHA.
You can win a $100 Utrecht Art Store gift card and Tom’s of Maine Oral Care Prize Pack in the #NaturalSmiles contest. Entering the contest is easy. Just upload a photo of your child’s completed coloring page with the #NaturalSmiles hashtag on Instagram or Facebook and you’re instantly entered.
Here is some additional information on the background of Tom’s of Maine:
- Tom’s of Maine Silly Strawberry toothpaste is the first and only natural kid’s toothpaste to receive the American Dental Association’s Seal of Acceptance for its proven effectiveness. With no artificial dyes or sweeteners, Tom’s of Maine Silly Strawberry toothpaste gets its naturally sweet flavor from real strawberry juice.
- New this year, Wicked Cool! is Tom’s of Maine’s first natural toothpaste designed for kids ages 8 and over. This mild mint-flavored toothpaste fights cavities, strengthens enamel and freshens breath and is great for kids who want a more ?grown up? toothpaste but find the adult mint versions ?too spicy?. Plus, it’s ADA-accepted, dye-free and never contains any artificial sweeteners or flavors.
- Kids love the taste of Tom’s of Maine Juicy Mint Children’s Anticavity Fluoride Rinse. Used regularly with fluoride toothpaste, rinsing provides additional cavity protection over brushing alone. It offers the same strong cavity protection as conventional brands without artificial colors, flavors or preservatives.
- Tom’s of Maine gives 10% of its profits back to organizations that support human and environmental goodness.
You can learn more about the #NaturalSmiles contest and download the coloring pages here. The activities are fun and they’ll get your child’s creativity flowing. Even at 12 and 14, my kids enjoyed coloring the pages and doing the activities on one of our coldest days this year, while they were home for a “snow day”.
