Kristin Chenoweth
This actress, singer, and Broadway star teamed up with the popular Mouthwash brand, Listerine, to promote an oral hygiene campaign. The “Your Mouth Has Something to Say” campaign was designed to help raise awareness about the importance of going beyond brushing to keep your mouth clean. Chenoweth says she takes pictures with people who are ashamed to smile because of the way their smile looks. She says the campaign “is really trying to drive home how important it is to floss and rinse,” and she’s very excited to work with Listerine to “celebrate our smiles and help children get the healthy smiles they deserve.”
