3 Gift Ideas for Healthy Holiday Smiles

It's that time of year again, when you may find yourself puzzling over what gifts to give for the holidays. Some people are easy to buy for and others not so much, but the one thing you can be sure of is that a gift related to health is one that can really make a difference.

• Seniors and people with special considerations will appreciate things that will make cleaning their teeth easier.
• People who are very busy or don't like to floss will be grateful for a simple alternative.
• And, kids will love anything that makes caring for their teeth fun.

Here are some of our favorite recommendations:

Water flossers - When they don't like flossing or find it difficult to do it well, water flossers can make a big difference. Instead of struggling to remember or having difficulty handling the floss, they can simply spray clean their teeth with this special device. This is the one alternative that can ensure all areas of their teeth can be kept clean and healthy. You can find some great options here.

Power brushes - Brushing our teeth thoroughly is a cornerstone of good oral health and these brushes, also called electric tooth brushes, are proven to do a better job than manual brushing. Power brushes provide over 2,000 strokes per minute vs. the average 300 strokes per minute of their manual counterparts. They are easy to use, reach places manual brushes don't and maximize oral health. Now, that is a gift worth giving. You can find great power brush options here.

Fun stocking stuffers for kids - Children will love brushing their teeth when they have fun tools to work with. These can include electric toothbrushes or any that have their favorite colors, animals or cartoon characters on them. You might also like to include books or color books about smiles or going to the dentist or fun little gifts like fake ugly teeth or walking chattering ones. Kids are easy to please and the happier they are with their dental tools, the more they will want to brush. You can find some fun options here.

We hope that you enjoy your holiday season and shopping for your loved ones. If you have any questions, a dental emergency or would like to schedule an appointment, give us a call.
