The holiday season is in full swing, so there’s little time left to find end-of-year gifts. Everywhere you look now, people are scouring high and low for the best possible presents. If you’re one of them, though, your Lancaster dentist has a suggestion: add some smile-friendly stocking stuffers to the shopping list! These items not only make unique gifts but are also helpful to one’s oral health. If you’d like to learn more, let your local dental practice explain. Here’s a summary of four great holiday presents that benefit smiles.
Soft-Bristled Toothbrushes
At first glance, a toothbrush might not seem exciting to a child. The truth, however, is that the right kind can be just as fun as a new toy. Therefore, consider adding a few to your family’s stockings.
To find the right toothbrushes for your kids, look for kinds that’ll entertain them. For example, you might buy one with colorful designs or pictures of a favorite cartoon character. On the other hand, you might try an electric brush that sings pop music. You can find such toothbrushes at supermarkets or through online retailers like Amazon.
Flavored Dental Products
If your children usually use minty floss or mouthwash, they might be tired of it by now. As such, you may want to gift them dental products that taste different. Many popular brands, after all, feature flavors like orange, grape, watermelon, and countless others.
Of course, there are also safety concerns when buying mouthwash for kids. In particular, you should get one with the ADA Seal of Approval.
Water Bottles
More than other beverages, standard water is the drink of choice for teeth. It washes away harmful bacteria, not to mention strengthens enamel. Plus, it doesn’t feature the sugar or acidity of alternatives like sports drinks and soda.
Given such upsides, put some reusable water bottles in this year’s stockings. Chances are they’ll help your kids (or even your spouse) add more H20 to their diets. You could even go all-out and spring for “smart” bottles with sensors that track water intake.
Healthy Snacks
You don’t have to make candy canes one of your holiday gifts. You’d even be better off if you didn’t, as these and other treats cause tooth decay.
To stay safer, place some healthy snacks under the proverbial tree. Those like nuts, veggies, and sugar-free gum can actually strengthen your teeth.
As you can see, stocking stuffers can be fun and good for smiles simultaneously. You should thus consider the ones above before it’s too late!
