Dental Health with Tom’s of Maine

tom-logo

New Year. Resolutions. Taking care of ourselves more… yes, these are all in my mind, and who can forget about our teeth and oral health? We can’t and this is where Tom’s of Maine Dental Health for AllTM program comes to our rescue. I had a wonderful opportunity to try out a whole slew of Natural Care Tom’s of Main products and we are in love! The toothpaste is just what I need with my sensitive teeth! Hubby really likes the Fragrance Free Deoderant. Oh, I can go on and on about all the products of Tom’s that I love!

February is National Children’s Dental Health Month and throughout January, with the purchase of any Tom’s of Maine natural care product, the company will donate a portion of its sales to help thousands of American families gain greater access to much needed dental care. Next month, Tom’s of Maine will award dental clinics across the country grants for oral health projects.

The money raised goes to several resources including examination equipment to help clinics give their communities the best care possible. The pkids_photorogram brings retailers, dental clinics and local communities together to make a difference in the lives of families in need.  I am always curious about the latest oral health goods and how I can improve myself and this is a great way to start!

Tom’s of Maine Dental Health for All Program Results/Facts:

According to the U.S. Surgeon General, 120 million Americans lack dental care.

The Tom’s of Maine Dental Health For AllTM program supports community organizations that provide dental care to people who would otherwise go without. Your purchase of Tom’s of Maine will help to fund community-based clinics that are working hard to fill the gaps in dental coverage and access. Here are some of the program’s results over the past four years:

  • 25 school- and community-based dental clinics have received grants from Tom’s to increase patient capacity and improve or expand their patient services.
  • Nearly 60,000 annual patient visits can now be scheduled.
  • Over 238,000 tubes of free toothpaste have been given to underserved children and adults.

    Make tooth brushing part of your “get ready for bed” routine. The kids will just brush as a matter of course.

    Tom’s of Maine also has ANTICAVITY Mouthwash. My children always wanted to brush their teeth. They saw me brushing and they wanted to do it too. None of them wanted me to do it for them. They wanted to do it themselves. My oldest son did require watching because he sometimes missed some places.

    I loves Tom’s of Maine products. They also make deodorant without antiperspirant. This is great for keeping aluminum from making deposits in your body! Thank you for the great opportunity!

    Helen says:

    I have loved their peppermint mouthwash for years now.

  12. 95
    Auriette says:

    I use the deodorant. It doesn’t leave my underarms feeling sticky, and the fragrance is very light (it’s not perfume, it’s the natural scent of the ingredients, at least as far as I can tell) and it doesn’t set off my husband’s allergies. All good things!

  13. 94
    carol says:

    I always use their deodorant! Also like their toothpaste!
    Our little one always takes her bath and then we wrap her in a towel and set her up on the counter. Then we get her toothbrush with her toothpaste and brush her teeth. She loves it so we let her do it by herself when we are done. It’s a big girl thing! We tell her how pretty her teeth are and that this will keep them that way.

    I love that they have Deodorant for sensitive skin.
    I have some 4 year olds who get pretty stinky when they play outside ~yet I hate for them to use the store bought deodorant that is for adults.
    This would be safe even for younger kids.

    We get our kids to brush by reminding them of “cavity monsters” that must be attacked and spit out.
    I knew Tom’s had toothpaste and deodorant, but I didn’t know they had mouthwash. I’ll have to give it a try.

    Nicole says:

    I would like to try the soap. I’ve never had an issue with my daughter wanting to brush her teeth. In fact, she wants to brush them too much. We started when she was very young cleaning her gums and it just became a good habit.

    Bill Warner says:

    Gripit Floss Holders are another clever product line to keep your mouth healthy – especially if you don’t like putting your fingers into your mouth when flossing. You can see them in action at http://www.gripit.biz. Gripits come with their own floss supply that can be refilled from local grocery and drug stores. They last a lifetime and don’t clog landfills. I’ve been using one for 35 years.

  97. 10
    Anne says:

    When I was really desperate, I would tell them that there were itsy bitsy teeny weeny bugs eating their teeth, and brushing would get rid of them. That worked most of the time; for a while lol
