All Smiles for Summer: Your Guide to Oral Health Amidst Adventure

Make Listerine Total Care your oral care buddy this summer

With the peak of summer approaching, our schedules are heating up just like the weather, as everyone is beginning to schedule their travel plans and make the most of the sun-soaked days ahead. Before jumping into your exciting plans, make sure to not only prioritize protecting your outward appearances, but also your oral health. Ensuring that your smiles remain as bright as the summer sun amidst the adventure.

To keep your smile bright and your mouths healthy, here’s your quick guide to keeping your oral health at tip-top shape in the midst of your summer plans– curated by Macoy Dubs, Mikee Reyes, and Camille Neri.

1. 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.

2. 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.”

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.”

3. 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."

So, as we embrace the adventures that summer brings, let’s remember to always stay hydrated, maintain a consistent and thorough oral health routine, and be more proactive in protecting ourselves from external aggressors. Let’s not forget to prioritize our oral health and integrate Listerine Total Care into our daily routine. With a bright smile and a healthy mouth, we're ready to seize every moment of the sun-soaked season ahead.

Your oral care regimen can now be with you on your summer adventures– Listerine Total Care comes in travel-friendly sizes that give you #CompleteMouthProtection on the go. Shop now at the official Listerine Lazada and Shopee shops, or in the nearest drugstore or supermarket nearest you.

David Licauco shares why the OPPO Reno11 F 5G is his perfect summer companion

Tweet

 

For OPPO brand ambassador and actor-entrepreneur David Licauco, summer has always been a season to look forward to. He’s had a lot of fond memories with family and friends over the years that have made each summer that much more special. OPPO’s Kilig Expert shares more about this and how capturing moments is essential, especially when taken using the newest Portrait Expert, the OPPO Reno11 F 5G.

What stands out most in David’s younger years is his family’s annual visit to Bicol. Here they would frolic on the beach, spend the whole day playing games, and eat halo-halo after a long day out in the sun. During his college days, he would go to Boracay with his friends. But recently, David’s had to scale back on these vacations  as he’s become more preoccupied with his commitments and engagements as one of the country’s prominent stars. Add to that him being extremely hands-on in managing his restaurants, Kuya Korea and Sobra Cafe.

So whenever he does get the chance for a well-deserved break, David has learned the importance of capturing each moment in picture-perfect quality. He’s been enjoying using his OPPO Reno11 F 5G, and can’t stop raving about how it’s been his fave companion for the summer.

Equipped with a 64MP Ultra-Clear main camera that has an OV64B sensor, the newest Portrait Expert from OPPO allows the Kilig Expert to document not only his travels, but even the special moments of his daily life. David’s grown fond of taking lots of photos (he prefers them more candid) whether it’s during downtime for tapings and shoots, ideating new menu items in his restos, or working out in the gym or on the basketball court. “I’ve been more excited and motivated to take photos ever since becoming a part of the OPPO family, and really enjoy sharing them with my followers. The Reno Series really impressed me and it’s been my go-to for snapping travel shots,” shared David.

When asked for tips on how to capture standout photos, David will be the first one to admit that he’s no expert. He just abides by a simple mindset – just keep taking lots of photos and try to be as natural as possible. “I’m a point-and-shoot type of photographer, so I’m glad the Reno11 F 5G comes in handy for taking great photos. Whatever I feel like taking a photo of, I just go for it. I take lots of angles and try to edit them slightly on my phone before posting.”

Aside from the powerful camera system, the Pambansang Ginoo also marveled at the newest feature to be rolled out for the OPPO Reno11 F 5G and the rest of the Reno11 Series 5G – the AI Eraser. “I was surprised how it removed objects and persons in the background so easily and cleanly. This will be very useful for travels, taking out unwanted photobombers and making shots more IG-worthy.”

He’s also one to visit beaches as often as possible to escape from the bustling city life and de-stress from the demands of his work. David’s dream summer destination is Siargao. Amazed by the tear-drop shaped island’s pristine beaches, lagoons and coves, David admits that he loves to just sit back and chill. He shares how much he loves the nature-inspired design of his OPPO Reno11 F 5G. “The Ocean Blue colorway perfectly matches my personality and style. It was one of the first things I noticed when I got the phone, and is definitely fit for the summer vibe.”

It’s a busier summer for David this year, but he’s not complaining. Being always on-the-go, he needs a reliable companion like the Reno11 F 5G to help him manage his jam-packed days. “I’m on my phone a lot for work and my businesses, so I appreciate the smooth and bright display of my smartphone. I also like watching videos on social media and browsing online shops, so the 120 Hz high refresh rate does the job for me.”

The OPPO Reno11 F 5G is powered by ColorOS 14 and has a 67W SUPERVOOC fast charging feature that can quickly power-up and reach 30% in 10 minutes and 100% in just 48 minutes. “The long-lasting battery and fast-charging are game-changers for me. They have been and continue to be one of my most favorite features of OPPO smartphones. If you’re out there looking for a new summer essential, I definitely can vouch for the OPPO Reno11 F 5G.”

Be like David and Get your own OPPO Reno11 F 5G today!

The OPPO Reno11 F 5G is priced at PHP 18,999, available in all authorized OPPO retail stores nationwide and on OPPO’s official Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop channels. It’s available in Ocean Blue, Coral Purple, and Palm Green.
