My Best Accessory: My Total Care Smile (Week 3)

Do you agree that your smile is your best accessory? I do now although what I experienced in childhood made me believe otherwise.

When I was 5 years old, I was missing my two front teeth and the other two were black! At that age, smiling with front teeth missing might be adorable for the adults around but to kids my age, it was one of the reasons I got teased a lot.

They would call me bampira (Vampire) or Menggay (a very popular 60’s or 70’s not so pretty comedienne actress contemporary of Chichay and Aruray in the country who’s also missing two front teeth).

Because of that I swore that when my front teeth grows back nicely I will take care of them and make sure to never be teased again because of my “dark” and “empty” smile.

Well, I succeeded.

Now, I can smile (or laugh) kahit labas pa ngalangala (even if the back of my teeth shows) I don’t have to be shy or embarrassed at all!

What did I do?

I do the BFR. Brush, Floss and Rinse. Although I must admit I miss flossing a lot because because I was scared that I’d hurt my gums if I do (hehe!) But then Listerine gave me a nice floss that’s good for sensitive teeth and gums. The thread is so thin you can almost feel it.

I also admit at forgetting to brush when I’m in a rush so I would just get my Listerine mouthwash and gargle!

And now with Listerine Total Care Mouthwash I know my teeth are in good hands because it prevents tartar to help keep teeth white giving me more confidence to flash my pearly whites and share with my loved ones my best smiles!
