My smile- after picture

Even though I’m writing these posts on behalf of Arm & Hammer, they didn’t ask me to do a review at the end of my month of using this toothpaste. However, while I wouldn’t go so far as to call it a miracle product, I’ve really loved making the switch! Not only do I believe my teeth look whiter, but I can honestly say the feel cleaner longer into my day than with my old toothpaste.

Not only are we saving money by all using the same brand now, but don’t forget that you can also get great coupons by visiting the Arm & Hammer Savings Center… or even try it for FREE by signing up for the Arm & Hammer Challenge!

I loved hearing all your ideas for getting kids to brush their teeth, and I’m excited to put some to use in my home! I feel like I’ve been learning so much on this journey, and here are just a few things I’ve learned about the benefits of having baking soda in my toothpaste:

  • Baking soda is gentle—it has significantly lower enamel and dentin abrasivity than the cleaning agents (i.e. silica) used in conventional toothpastes.
  • Baking soda freshens—it imparts a distinct freshness and clean-mouth feel.
  • Baking soda deodorizes—it provides odor control due to its ability to reduce acids in the mouth.

So I’ve already shared what a great product I believe Arm & Hammer Advance While Brilliant Sparkle toothpaste to be, but what I’m really loving is that I’m finding so many uses beyond the intended application of the Arm & Hammer products. For instance, do you know that toothpaste is great to put on acne to dry it out?

I’d like to give one of you a chance to win a $25 Visa Gift Card and all you have to do to enter is share any other uses you have for toothpaste! Just leave a comment below with your best tip, and one lucky winner will be chosen at random from all eligible entries received by midnight on July 26. I can’t wait to hear what you have to say!

Baby Teeth Need Love Too – What Parents Don’t Know: Giveaway Day 5

July 5, 2011 By

tooth fairy 285x300 Baby Teeth Need Love Too What Parents Dont Know: Giveaway Day 5
When my kids’ baby teeth started arriving on the scene, I can honestly say I was much more concerned about the pain it caused my baby and not the dental care they needed to receive. Honestly, I figured that if their baby teeth are going to fall out anyway, I didn’t need to worry too much about brushing them!

What parents don’t know is that even baby teeth need love too! The dental hygiene habits that parents instill in their children, even as infants, more often than not follow them into adulthood. That’s why it’s critical that as soon as that first tooth comes in, you make sure to schedule your child’s first visit to the dentist. While flossing may be a bit much at this stage, getting in the habit of brushing your child’s teeth twice a day is so important.

No one plans on their two year old getting cavities, and yet, it happens! While teaching your kids good dental hygiene is important, what’s even more influential is to set a good example. Make sure your kids see you taking proper care of your teeth and they’ll be more likely to follow in your footsteps.

We love a toothpaste like Arm & Hammer Advance While Brilliant Sparkle toothpaste that we’re comfortable with everyone in the family using. What are your favorite ways to get your kids brushing their teeth properly and regularly? Share your best tip below and you’ll be entered to win a $25 Visa Gift Card!

Smile! Arm & Hammer Advance White Brilliant Sparkle Toothpaste Review

My "Before" Brilliant Sparkle smile

When the box arrived recently containing the Arm & Hammer Advance While Brilliant Sparkle toothpaste to review, my husband and I rushed into the bathroom to try it right away.

arm hammer brilliant sparkle toothpaste 300x135 Smile! Arm & Hammer Advance White Brilliant Sparkle Toothpaste ReviewWe brushed and smiled at each other. Anticipating his response, I asked the rhetorical question anyway.
“Quick – what’s the first thing thing that comes to your mind right now.”
His answer was simple, yet profound: “Childhood”.

We’d previously shared with each other and joked about how each of our mother’s were quick to dip a wet toothbrush into a box of Arm & Hammer Baking Soda when we were kids whenever they really wanted to get our family’s teeth clean. there was just something unmistakable and equally indescribable about the sensation you would get after brushing with pure Arm & Hammer Baking Soda.

Well now I’m delighted to let you all know that they’ve harnessed that power and coupled it with modern science, all within a tube of Advance While Brilliant Sparkle toothpaste!

Not only do you get that same “fresh from the dentist feeling of clean” that you’ve come to expect from the Arm & Hammer family of products, but it’s also been clinically proven to whiten teeth while removing up to 5x more plaque in hard to reach areas (vs. regular toothpaste). And with “Brilliant Sparkle” on the box, I can even get my daughter to use it icon wink Smile! Arm & Hammer Advance White Brilliant Sparkle Toothpaste Review

I’ve been increasingly careful about what I’ve allowed to go into my family’s mouth over the past year, including everything from food to hygiene products. So I’m delighted to be able to take the natural power of Arm & Hammer that I’ve come to trust and harness it in the everyday convenience of a tube of toothpaste. While I can’t say I’ve noticed a difference in my smile just yet, I’m going to be taking pictures over the next few weeks and ultimately I’ll let you be the judge of whether or not you think they’re whiter!

Sparkle Shoes

June 1, 2009 By

What is it about girls and sparkles? Everywhere I went today, some woman commented on her red sparkle shoes. Secretly, I think we all wish we could dress in bright polka dot shirts with striped tights, sparkle shoes and a ballerina top…or is that just me?

Like mother, like daughter.
