G.U.M.
Star Wars Toothbrush
Launch Party
Fight Evil Cavities With
The Force
Recently I had the pleasure of attending the G.U.M. Star Wars Toothbrush Launch Party hosted by Momtrends at Ripley’s Believe It or Not Times Square.
If there is one thing my children have never complained about, it is brushing their teeth but with G.U.M. Star Wars toothbrushes in the house, things just got easier!
A wealth of information was available and all of the toothbrushes were available for everyone to check out. Personally, I could not choose a favorite. I believe we will have every toothbrush in the house very soon. I cannot think of anything more important that clean and healthy teeth and gums!
I was excited to check out the new line of toothbrushes and gain even more knowledge about having a happy and healthy mouth!
Everyone enjoyed rubbing elbows with the special surprise guests Darth Vader
and a Stormtrooper, especially Emily!
She had to go back and get a picture of just herself with both of them.
Not sure what that means about her future husband!
My youngest to oldest child was entertained with all of the great activities including a scavenger hunt, the laser maze race, crafts and puzzles, too!
They were also able to enjoy Ripley’s Believe It or Not.
Seeing that we are family of Star Wars fans, this was a great day for everyone!
While the children were busy with their activities, the adults were able to be schooled by
Pediatric Dental Expert Dr. Michael Ignelzi DDS Phd. He let us know all about oral hygiene for children and answered quite a few questions.
I’m happy to share some great tips from Dr. Ignelzi with you!
- Make sure you have the right amount of fluoride 20 to 40% (the size of a small pea).
- Avoid sticky foods (like Fruit Roll Ups).
- Make your child’s first dental visit on their first birthday.
- Floss as soon as your child will tolerate it.
- Use a floss pick for ease.
- Get into a routine. Brushing in the morning and at night is a great routine that 86% of dentists on.
- Replace toothbrushes every three months or once bristles are worn.(Also, replace toothbrush after illness-Strep throat, etc)- Okay, that one is my own tip from experience!
- Get sealants on permanent teeth not on baby teeth. 90% of cavities in permanent teeth begin in the grooves. Sealant can prevent 9 out of 10 cavities.
- Get fluoride in water. Buy bottled water with fluoride. Dannon Water to Go Bottled water has fluoride in it! A dentist or doctor can write an Rx for children.
We were also treated to this great video Star Wars Dark Side Good Habits!
Check it out. You will love it, too!

This is the coolest toothbrush collection ever! It’s got Darth Vader, Clone Captain Rex, Anakin Skywalker and Yoda! It’s a fun way to get the Force when brushing! It’s a great learning experience for them to have attended the launch.
