Aquafresh Advanced

Aquafresh Advanced Futures Winner!

November 24, 2010 By Lena

Thanks to everyone who entered the Aquafresh Advanced Futures giveaway. I’ve certainly collected some fabulous tooth brushing tips! Ryder’s still at the stage where the most important part of the ritual is licking the tutti-frutti flavoured toothpaste… but he sure does love to flash his pearly whites!

As a reminder, up for grabs is a Philips Sonicare for Kids Toothbrush valued at $70, and a sample of Aquafresh Advanced toothpaste.

And the winner is… Tricha! Congratulations!

Tricha said: I use the Raffi’s version of brushing your teeth song with my 1 1/2 yr old who happens to love her sister’s battery operated toothbrush. For my almost 5yr old, it helps that she sees us brushing twice daily so it becomes a part of her daily routine. You can also help with brushing the hard to reach back teeth until they get much better at doing so.

Please send me an e-mail with your full contact details, and I’ll have the prize sent to you right away. Thanks to everyone who participated!

Aquafresh Advanced Futures Contest!

November 7, 2010 By Lena

*The following giveaway in open to Canadians only* 

I hope you all have been enjoying my It’s One of A Kind! features on Canadian artists – there’s PLENTY more to come!

If you you don’t mind, let’s deter for a second for some fabulous news…

I’m delighted to announce the Aquafresh Advanced Futures Contest – where you can share your wish on www.aquafresh.ca/contest for a chance to WIN a $10,000 RESP, courtesy of new Aquafresh Advanced!

We all have many wishes for our children, and I believe one of the major responsibilities of parenting is to teach our children to believe in the power of their own dreams. Before Ryder was born, I pictured an athlete. A school  treasurer. An actor who would star in a movie alongside Brad Pitt (thereby having to make the necessary introductions, of course). Then, once I laid eyes on my son, I only wanted one thing: for him to be a healthy, happy individual.

A few years have passed and I once again have various aspirations for both him and his little brother: A kind heart. A respect for people and the environment. The courage to stand up for what you believe in. The humility to admit when you are wrong. And most of all, the stamina to hold onto your dreams.

And if they want to become actors and work with Brad Pitt, I guess I could deal with that too.

What are your wishes for your child? Visit the Aquafresh Advanced Futures Contest before November 30th, and you can help make dreams a reality with a $10,000 RESP!

Aquafresh Advanced, an enamel strengthening formula, contains active fluoride which penetrates deep into tooth enamel to strengthen teeth from the inside out – for strong, healthy-looking teeth for a lifetime.

Get your kids brushing with these helpful tips:

– Make it a habit. Children should get into a healthy routine of brushing after breakfast and before bed. They should brush for at least two minutes so that the fluoride has time to work.

– Limit the amount of toothpaste. Children under 6 years of age don’t need more than a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste to clean effectively. This will also help that tube last a little longer!

– Be supportive. Up until first grade or later, kids will need supervision and coaching to brush properly. Make brushing more fun by playing or singing a favorite song, setting a timer to count down two minutes, or offering to read a favorite story as a reward.
