From planning the menu for your reunion dinner and buying new outfits to getting money ready to give out ang pows and decorating your home, there's so many fun and exciting things to do to get ready for the upcoming celebrations.

One important thing that you should make sure to do? Keep the suay (bad luck) away! Something that everyone does before CNY is to spring clean the home, as this is said to get rid of all the bad luck from the previous year.

But why stop at just your home? Since everyone wants to have a celebration that's filled with luck and prosperity, it's also important to "spring clean" yourself, in particular, your mouth, where lots of germs gather.

It's important to have good oral health all year round, but it's particularly vital during Chinese New Year, as not only will you be eating a lot, you'll also be doing plenty of socialising. The last thing you want is to have the suay-ness of bad oral health following you around, bringing things like bad breath, plaque, and gum problems.

With Listerine, you can swish away 99.9% of suay germs* for a healthier and cleaner mouth, so you can enjoy good food, as well as have the confidence to catch up with your loved ones with a bright smile and fresh breath.

*Germs that cause bad breath, plaque, and gum problems.

The most important benefit is that it contains essential oils that kills 99.9% of mouth germs that cause bad breath, plaque, and gum problems.

Not only does it contain fluoride for stronger teeth and healthier gums, it also helps keep teeth naturally white and helps reduce plaque formation. It even gives you long-lasting fresh breath with a pleasant minty scent.

Those who prefer a gentler mouthwash can opt for the Total Care Less Intense variant instead, which has a milder taste but all the same benefits as the original.

All you have to do is swish the mouthwash in your mouth for 30 seconds, twice daily after brushing, and you're good to go.

Now you can spend the festive season confident that you can feast on yummy eats and spend time with friends and family without worrying about bad breath or other oral problems. Huat ah!
