Tom's of Maine Anticavity Silly Strawberry toothpaste is the first and only natural kids' toothpaste to earn the American Dental Association's Seal of Acceptance for cavity prevention. Free Anticavity Silly Strawberry samples will be provided during the live story hour while supplies last. Additionally, the first 50 people to respond to the offer will receive a copy of Kristi's new book. To receive a free sample or the book, parents will be provided an email address during the story hour.
"As the daughter of a dentist, I grew up in a household that put a major emphasis on the impact of a beautiful, natural smile," said Kristi Yamaguchi. "The theme of my new book is about how smiles make everyone feel happy and are universal around the world. I love to read aloud to my two daughters, so I'm excited to share the story with families across the country."
"After a lively day, bedtime rituals can be comforting and meaningful for kids," said Susan Dewhirst, PR and Goodness manager at Tom's of Maine. "We hope the story hour adds some natural fun, and we encourage families to swap sparkles for the taste of real strawberries when they brush. It can be rewarding to try new things as children grow and develop healthy habits."
With no artificial dyes or sweeteners, Tom's of Maine Silly Strawberry Toothpaste has real strawberry flavor derived from strawberry extract and other natural extracts. It's perfectly paired with a good book before bedtime. Available in Fluoride and Fluoride-Free varieties, Tom's of Maine Silly Strawberry toothpaste can be found at www.tomsofmainestore.com or in the children's toothpaste section at retailers nationwide. The suggested retail price is $3.79. As with all of its products, Tom's of Maine donates 10% of its profits back to the community.
