OraCare Boosts Chris Tiu's Confidence On and Off the Hard Court
BASKETBALL STAR Chris Tiu is a true "people person" — whether it’s for work or play, he shines best when he’s with his teammates, his fans and his constituents in Barangay Urdaneta in Makati City, where he also serves as councilor. Now that he balances various roles that cover athletics, commercial modeling, TV hosting and politics, Chris says oral hygiene is more important than ever.
Ever since his good looks and athleticism made him popular as a member of the Ateneo Blue Eagles college basketball team, his career as professional athlete (for the Smart Gilas team) and celebrity has soared. Being in the limelight almost all the time, says Chris, makes oral hygiene a priority for him.
"I get conscious with my breath all the time, because I meet and talk to so many people. For me, having fresh-smelling breath is important because it not only reflects one’s hygiene, but also the overall wellness of a person. So, brushing my teeth, flossing, and gargling with OraCare Mouthrinse is part of my daily regimen," says the 25-year-old celebrity athlete.
OraCare's Stabilized Chlorine Dioxide formulation kills odor- and disease-causing bacteria in the mouth. And unlike other mouthwash brands, OraCare Mouthrinse does not contain alcohol, so it does not cause a stinging sensation in the mouth and does not leave a strong, unpleasant aftertaste.
Chris also says that he likes OraCare’s handy bottle, as this is perfect for someone like him who is always on the go. "It’s easier to bring around and is more convenient – no need to dilute with water. It is also helpful during those times when brushing my teeth is not enough to freshen my breath, like when I eat food that has lots of garlic, onions, and other spices," he says.
"Without a mouthwash, I feel awkward and refrain from talking to people. Having fresh breath is also important for me when talking up close to people, like when I attend parties," Chris adds.
Chris also compared his experience with other mouthwash brands to OraCare.
"My old mouthwash was irritating to use because of the stinging sensation – I often felt like my mouth was burning! And, it left an unpleasant aftertaste.
"After switching to OraCare, I never went back to my old mouthwash brand. The first thing I noticed about OraCare was that it was clear, like water. And when I gargled with it, I really liked it a lot because it did not 'burn' my mouth – instead, it gave me a refreshing, clean feeling afterwards. And there was no aftertaste! I’ve been using OraCare ever since. I even bring it around with me in my gym bag," says Chris.
Sometimes, it’s the little things in life that are critical to one’s success. For Chris Tiu, using OraCare helps him become more confident when relating to teammates, fans, and other people. So whether he’s on the hard court, at a shoot, on TV, or just relaxing with friends, Chris can count on OraCare Mouthrinse to give him that extra fresh boost.
OraCare Mouthrinse (in Regular and Cool flavors) and OraCare Toothpaste are available in leading supermarkets and drugstores nationwide.
