OREANDA-NEWS. Today, Crest® + Oral-B® are thrilled to unveil a new line of Crest + Oral-B Pro-Health JR. toothpaste and toothbrushes, featuring beloved characters from Disney’s Frozen, with the help of actress Kristen Bell. The Disney Magic Timer App by Oral-B, an interactive oral care app for kids that can help increase brushing time, will now feature Frozen characters, including Elsa, Anna and Olaf.

Dental professionals recommend brushing for at least two minutes to maintain good oral health. However, research1 suggests that most people, especially children, do not meet that goal, and typically spend less than one minute brushing. The new Frozen-inspired toothbrushes and toothpaste from Crest + Oral-B, offer parents tools to excite kids with brushing. Paired with the App to act as an interactive timer to keep kids engaged while brushing, parents can rest easier knowing that nine out of 10 kids brush longer when brushing with the App.

To raise awareness about the importance of children’s healthy oral care habits, Crest + Oral-B have also partnered with actress Kristen Bell by developing a video hosted on Oral-B’s YouTube channel. The video features Bell highlighting the challenges parents can face in getting kids excited about brushing, all while keeping them engaged to brush for the two minutes recommended by dentists. As the voice of Anna in Frozen and a mother of two, Bell was an organic choice to promote the new Frozen-inspired line of products, as well as the new products’ compatibility with the App.

Many parents yearn for meaningful moments with their child in today’s time-constrained society. Consumers are encouraged to share the video along with their own unique photos and videos featuring creative tips they use to make their #2MagicalMinutes of brushing with their kids more successful and meaningful.

“If any parent knows the challenges first-hand of getting a kid excited to brush her teeth amidst a crazy work schedule, it’s me,” said Bell. “Frozen-inspired toothbrushes and toothpaste from Crest + Oral-B can help kids get excited about brushing and help parents find those #2MagicalMinutes with their child.”
