As summer approaches, it’s crucial to prioritize oral health and protect your outward appearances. Listerine Total Care can help maintain a healthy mouth and keep your smile bright. This guide, curated by Macoy Dubs, Mikee Reyes, and Camille Neri, offers a quick guide to keeping your oral health at top shape during your summer plans. By incorporating Listerine Total Care into your routine, you can ensure your smile remains as bright as the summer sun amidst your adventures.
Stay hydrated at all times. If there’s one thing Lisa B, Aunt Julie, and Macoy Dubs’ many personas can agree on– it’s to stay hydrated this summer! Macoy Dubs shares that he stays hydrated to prevent dehydration and to keep his body cool overall. He notes, “Hydration is key, mga kaibigan! Especially during the scorching summer heat. Water is like fuel for our bodies, keeping us energized and functioning well,” Macoy also notes how staying hydrated is also one way to keep his oral health in shape, “Hydration isn’t just about quenching thirst; it’s also crucial for maintaining good oral health. Drinking water helps flush out food particles and bacteria that can lead to tooth decay and bad breath. Plus, it promotes saliva production, which is our natural defense against oral diseases.”
Studies show that our mouths are more prone to become dry because of the warmer weather. A dry mouth can create an environment in which bacteria thrive. Saliva plays a crucial role in washing away food particles and bacteria from the mouth. When saliva production decreases due to dehydration or dry mouth, it can lead to an accumulation of bacteria, increasing the risk of oral health issues such as cavities, plaque, and gum disease. Bacteria that brushing alone cannot eradicate. That’s why you need a mouthwash like Listerine to reach the whole mouth and kill the germs that cause bad breath, plaque, and gum problems brushing alone misses. This is why Macoy Dubs makes it a point to include Listerine Total Care in his routine on top of staying hydrated, to help keep the germs away.

Maintain a consistent and thorough oral care regimen, even on the go. As a former athlete, broadcaster, and content creator, Mikee Reyes thrives on established habits. He comments how integrating Listerine into his oral care regimen lessened his encounters with plaque, “Ever since I started integrating Listerine into my oral care regimen, I’ve noticed a significant reduction in plaque build-up,” Mikee is a firm believer that well established habits lead to good outcomes, “During my appointments, my dentist noticed that there was less plaque build-up, and that my teeth haven’t been developing cavities or signs of gum problems which mean that my oral health is in its most ideal state. Now, I don’t need to worry about oral problems in the middle of all my summer plans.” Watch Mikee Reyes’ reel here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4xFXX8vx6K/?igsh=Y2Ryam5sNDUwbHJr
Clearly, he makes sure he never skips all the steps of his routines, completing his oral hygiene routine by using Listerine Total Care after every brush. Miggy Gamboa, Kenvue Philippines’ marketing manager, shares how having a thorough oral care regimen frees the millions of Filipinos from being held back by various oral diseases, “Being able to prevent the common oral health issues such as plaque, cavities, and gum problems lessens the burdens faced by the common Filipino allowing them to focus more on enjoying the adventures that summer brings without the worry of dental discomfort or pain holding them back.”
Be more proactive in protecting oneself from the heat and from germs. Camille Neri is a firm believer of what she calls ‘life upgrades’ – things or habits that lead to one experiencing an improved quality of life. To her, being more proactive to keep herself protected from the summer heat also includes her adopting a regular sunscreen routine, carrying a refillable water bottle everywhere she goes, and even indulging herself with a cool, sweet treat here and there. Camille’s proactivity also extends to her protecting her oral health from germs, details the importance of consistency in oral care. “Maintaining oral health is a commitment, especially during the summer when we’re more prone to indulging in treats and drinks that can harm our teeth. With Listerine Total Care as part of my daily routine, I feel confident knowing that I’m giving my mouth the protection it needs, no matter what adventures the summer brings.” Watch Camille Neri’s TikTok video here: https://www.tiktok.com/@misscamilleneri/video/7346134029256690950?_r=1&_t=8lcwcpYuzdg
